Boundaries Crossed and Computer Search Ace Spec

Hi,
Since there are more scans for boundaries crossed we all know if the cards there will work in our decks or not at all. Checking along the cards I saw Computer Search and I was very surprised and happy.
This card formerly appeared in the booster called Base Set and back then I didn't know how useful it could be, but now I do.

The question is, considering that the Base Set card has the same name as the one in Boundaries Crossed, would Pokemon allow to use the old card with the new computer search's ruling?

The difference would be that the new computer search has the Ace Spec text on it and another slight change in the card text.

IMO, I hope they allow us to use the old one as if it was the new one.

That's all for now.
 
Huh? Well, I've been told that the base set Computer Search would be legal....(The new computer search doesn't have any difference in the name, just a new rule.)

That's surprising because the official answer is that we can't use it.

dmaster out.
 
Can you please tell me their reason for that please. There is nothing new in the name it dose not make since. How can neo super rod be allowed, when it has a totally different effect. I just do not understand this.

Someone wanted to know why too, so they asked:

Basically, just accept it because it's probably not going to get changed no matter how much common sense we think it is lacking (unless they pull a Terrakion EX on this one but I sincerely doubt it).

Neo Super Rod is legal because it is also considered an Item. The CSearch issue lies within the fact that since Items and Ace- Spec Items are different, you would need a reference to use the old CSearch, which is pointless because it's an Ace-Spec; you can only have 1.
 
Well I can see the argument people have, but even if base set Computer Search was legal you would still need the Ace Spec version as a reference.

^Exactly.
You would need a ref to use the old Computer Search.
But if you have the ref, you might as well use the new Computer Search anyway.

Ergo, it is redundant.

Probably I would contradict my own thread but I thought about this too. You might need the Ref. to use the card properly, and for that you'd need to have the Ace Spec card. As a result, there would be no point in using the old Computer search except in the case you had more than 1 deck and only one CS Ace Spec to put in any of those.

Even though, things can change and we might be able to play it, maybe.

I always thought you could print out a copy of the card and use that as a reference. I guess that isn't legal?

...That's never been legal.

Do you know what "photo-editing software" is? Yeah, that's why it's never been legal.

I believe you're thinking of the Card-Dex, in which you print out a copy of the words on the card. But that isn't permitted anymore either, due to the phasing out of foreign cards.
