I was at league when this intresting senario came up. The Giovanni Trainer card from Gym: Challenge reads:
Okay... but wait, Pokemon USA, Inc. stated in a ruling on Rare Candy:
So does this mean that that line of text in Giovanni is now excluded or perhaps is this ruling from PUI wrong? Just a thought,

Giovanni (Gym: Challenge) said:Choose 1 of your Pokémon in play with Giovanni in its name. For the rest of your turn, you may evolve that Pokémon even if you just played or evolved it this turn or if this is your first turn. This effect also applies to the Pokémon it evolves into.
Okay... but wait, Pokemon USA, Inc. stated in a ruling on Rare Candy:
Compendium ex said:Q. Can I use Rare Candy on the first turn of a game (when Pokemon are not normally allowed to evolve)?
A. No. There is nothing in the card that allows it to break this rule. Nothing evolves on the first turn of the game! (Sep 11, 2003 PUI Rules Team Meeting)
So does this mean that that line of text in Giovanni is now excluded or perhaps is this ruling from PUI wrong? Just a thought,
