To prevent the said cards to stay legal in the Standard format longer than intended, the {{TCG|Yellow A Alternate cards|Yellow A symbol}} was introduced and marked on these cards. Yellow A Alternate cards have the same card number and expansion symbol of the original print with the exception of the letter 'a' added to the card number. As such, these alternate prints are only allowed in the same formats as the original prints. | ||
Asian expansions on the other hand addressed potential card legality issues such as the one mentioned above by introducing '''Regulation Marks''' on cards from the beginning of the Sun & Moon Era. The regulation mark is a letter symbol found right next to the expansion mark of each card that identifies whether it is legal to use in tournament play. The letter starts with 'A' on {{TCG|Collection Sun}} and {{TCG|Collection Moon}}, and moves to the next letter upon each rotation. Subsequent prints of cards such as alternative art prints introduced in later sets would retain their original regulation mark, ensuring their rotation regardless of any future prints. | Asian expansions on the other hand addressed potential card legality issues such as the one mentioned above by introducing '''Regulation Marks''' on cards from the beginning of the Sun & Moon Era.
