:I've recently been thinking about this as well. The only problem is that some updates do add unique things on the Mobile version (not sure about 3DS), and there might still be enough different between them to warrant keeping them separated. An idea that came to my mind was putting tables next to each other (see for instance places with TCG decklists next to each other, such as some of the battle decks or in-game NPC decks I've listed next to each other on the NPC pages), but with the amount of prose inside individual cells, I wonder if converting to complete text makes more sense, too. | :I've recently been thinking about this as well.

== Solving the mystery of Sam's Practice Deck... == | |||
Hoo, boy... where do I begin with this, Cyclone? See, a year or two ago, I had this odd fascination to find out what exactly the NPCs' decks were composed of, y'see. Of course, there's no way I did that all on my own with mere guesswork. What I did was an English translated ROM of Pokémon Card GB2, played that with a VBA (VisualBoy Advance Emulator), looked at the memory of the ROM with a built-in memory viewer, had some help from the Data Crystal pages in finding the offsets of cards, that kind of stuff, translated the hexes to the cards (e.g. Hex 011 is for [[Dark Ivysaur (Best of Game 6)|Dark Ivysaur]], and that's how I know what Sam contained in his deck. | |||
You're the first person to ask me about how I got my info in the technical details... | |||
