''Pokémon Masters'', which reuses most of the mechanics from the core series, explicitly splits between the six nonvolatile ''Status Conditions'' (paralyzed, poisoned, badly poisoned, burned, asleep, frozen), also noting how only one of these can be active at a time, and the volatile ''Status Changes'' (e.g. Confused). Did the latters have a name previously?—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 01:57, 11 February 2020 (UTC) | ''Pokémon Masters'', which reuses most of the mechanics from the core series, explicitly splits between the six nonvolatile ''Status Conditions'' (paralyzed, poisoned, badly poisoned, burned, asleep, frozen), also noting how only one of these can be active at a time, and the volatile ''Status Changes'' (e.g. Confused).

:Not that I'm aware of. However, as I noted [[#Volatile status condition vs. volatile battle status|above]], Confused is also called a status condition by a quiz in [[Cyllage City]]. (Please also see [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#New pages notability|my discussion with SnorlaxMonster]], where he basically argued that it's not.)

::Effectively, the official [https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/about/video-game-glossary/ Pokémon Video Game Glossary] doesn’t distinguish between the two and name them ''Status Condition''s. Looks like this distinction is very recent, after all in ''Pokémon Masters'' there is one trainer move, ''We’re Standing Strong!'', that specifically heals and protects against status conditions, but not status changes, plus that game has an extensive guide describing the various aspects of the game, so probably because of these reasons they finally decided to better distinguish the two and name the latters. Still, it would be interesting to know if the Gen VIII official guides kept this distinction - that ultimately stems from the main games.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC) | |||
