Ruling A different Pokemon Center question

[DNA]

Look at these two cards for a minute here.

One's an Item; one's a Stadium.

I know we've had instances in the past where a card's effect was radically changed upon a reprint (Super Rod and Great Ball), as well as those that have switched types (like Bill), but this is the first incidence I've seen where both happen.

So, is this considered a true reprint situation (in which the cards from Base are played as the Stadium), or is this more of a situation like Alph Lithograph (separate and distinct effects, but no more than 4 total of either per deck)?

...This is probably better suited to ask on PokeGym, isn't it...? I'd ask there but I do not have an account.

edit: I did a quick perusal of Pokegym's Ask the Masters forum (which I need to get in the habit of doing, actually). I found two topics relevant to this; one of them suggests the "Alph Lithograph"-style situation is true, whereas the other is still awaiting an answer. I'm going to keep monitoring the latter just in case.

You would treat each one as its own effect. The base set card would be a trainer, and the recent one would be a stadium

Not so -a cards name is what makes it what it is, not it's type. Take Bill for example -you can play old Bill cards today, but they have to played as Supporters. A cards name makes it what it is, so Pokemon Centers would have to all play errated to the most recent one.

Nope. They do different things entirely. Bill changed types, but does the same thing. Revive, energy retrieval, potion... They've gotten better, but still do the same thing (only more efficiently) so they can be used. also, TO's go off of team compendium, and their list of modified legal reprints doesn't list Pokémon center.

I have actually already looked into this because my unlimited deck uses base set pokemon center.

This is the legal card list. Notice base set pokemon center isn't on it. And in this post he confirms that it is meant to be that way.

Bonus ruling on the fact that EXP.ALL can be used as EXP.Share.

Okay then; good to know.
