Search your discard pile for 2 different Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards, show them to your opponent, and your opponent chooses 1 of them. Put that card into your hand, and discard the other card. (If all Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your discard pile have the same name, choose 1 of them. Show that card to your opponent and put it into your hand.)





Marley's Wish searches the discard pile for 2 different Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards, but it never mentioned the word COMBINATION like Roseanne's Research. So, can I search for a Rare Candy and a Bebe Search along?
 
I don't think so. The card states "Search your discard pile for 2 different Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards". In other words, it means search your discard pile for 2 different Trainers OR 2 different Supporters OR 2 different Stadiums. So, you have to search your discard pile for Trainers from the same category not mix...

P.S. Please correct me if I'm wrong... :)
 
Okay, you're wrong :p

You evaluate the card classes first -- "Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards" -- then select 2 different cards from within that group.
 
Isn't that what PPM said? Which one is right?
1. I pick a mix of the three, Rare Candy and Dawn Stadium
2. I pick two of the same category (Trainers, Supporters, Stadiums) Such as Bebe's and Rosanne's

EDIT: LOSS TO CHAIRMAN KAGA!!! XD
 
Oy, you keep reading what I wrote backwards.

Option 1 is correct -- any mix of the three classes of cards. The intent is obvious if you evaluate the second part of the card -- "If all Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your discard pile have the same name". That doesn't make any sense unless you also evaluate the first part as allowing you to choose any mix of the three.

Ok. So, I was wrong. If that is the case, then whats with the 1st part of the card, stating "Search your discard pile for 2 different Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards"?? It's a bit confusing...

EDIT: I wonder, why is the Japanese's translation different from the English one? :)

Marley's Wish – Supporter

Search your discard pile for 2 in any combination of Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards with different names, show them to your opponent and have your opponent choose 1. Put the chosen card in your hand, and discard the remaining card.

(If all of the Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your discard pile have the same name, choose 1 of them, show it to your opponent, and put it in your hand.)

You can only use 1 Supporter card during your turn. To use it, place it next to your Active Pokemon and discard it at the end of your turn.

Look at what it's asking you to pick from first: Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards -- that is, anything that is a Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium. Out of that group, pick 2 cards with different names.

It helps if you've studied the cards and the rulings long enough to know that PUI uses certain wordings to imply certain things in certain cases. In this case, the wording implies that they want you to choose from the three types of cards in any combination.

Different people translate Japanese different ways. It's very differently structured than English so there is quite a bit of leeway in how things get translated.
