Should we add ex-orphans?

Such as Crobat BREAK. This card was orphanded for about a month, until Sun & Moon (TCG) came and with it was a Crobat. PeridotEX (talk) 13:25, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Lucario Spirit Link?

Lucario Spirit Link (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lucario_Spirit_Link_(XY_Promo_211)) was released as a Promo, after Lucario EX and M-Lucario EX were rotated out. It's even identified as an orphaned card its page. I've never made an edit before and don't have its picture, otherwise I would add it --The Last Sheikah (talk) 17:57, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Future orphans

Should the cards that might be orphaned in the future be added too?

For example, there is Choice Belt, and it was reprinted with the G regulation mark. Since the central gimmick of the Scarlet & Violet series are Pokémon ex, there probably won't be any Pokémon V with the G, H, or I regulation marks. --Bfdifan2006 (talk) 14:26, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

I think it would be useful to keep tabs on them, possibly via trivia on the card pages. I wonder if it's best to wait until after the actual rotations happen however. A lot of things can change in between rotations (a new updated wording in H regulation perhaps?) MaverickNate 07:43, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
What about a section for limited format? Those are typically for things like sealed tournaments or prerelease tournaments where only one set is allowed. The Choice Belt reprint would fall under that since nothing within those sets would benefit from it at all. MaverickNate 08:11, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
