For now, I changed those three pages back to what they said before. For a decade+, Bulbapedia has followed that standard wording, so almost every card page is standardized to that wording. I think you've identified a confusing problem with that standard wording though: the intro says ''first released as part of the Brilliant Stars expansion'' and the release information says ''first released as part of the Star Birth expansion''. You're completely right that this needs to change, but given it's a problem on thousands of pages, it needs a plan of attack that's more than just change one page here and there, or else it will be impossible to track what is done and what isn't.

Thanks for the run through with a fine-toothed comb! Some of the translations you provided were an improvement over what I had before. I did make a very small handful of counter-adjustments based on the feedback I received from my Japanese coworkers. I did have some general points I wanted to come to you directly about otherwise.
:*Bulbapedia uses the serial comma per the [[Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style#Language|Manual of Style]], so I added those back in (I hope I caught them all).
:*Some of the entries were pulling direct quotes from things like [[Pokédex]] entries from cards and [[Team Rocket mottos]], so be careful about modifying those. Those should match the original source material.
Thanks again! It's really helpful to have more than one pair of eyes on a page as meaty as this one. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 08:43, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
