About the stars in the Sinnoh Trainer Card

Are you sure that you need to win a Master rank ribbon in all Contests in order to have a star in the Trainer card? Me and my sister have won only one Master rank ribbon and now we have a star in our Trainer card --DarkSally_{(complaints department)} 11:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

No, you're right (for Gen IV that is). I'll change it for that generation; if it is the same in Gen III someone change it there too. — THE TROM — 11:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Kanto Trainer Card

Something is missing or wrong about Kanto's Trainer Card. It says the if the player have fou stars, the TC will turn gold in color, however there are only Three ways of getting stars listed. Anyone knows the fourth? Mr. Charlie 14:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Back when FR/LG were still the newest games, I found the method listed on an old site that's no longer around... pokefor.tk. After some wayback machine digging, it's still accessible.[1]GauRocks 17:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Shining Leaves

To get the star the you need to have one Pokémon with five leaves, 5 Pokémon each one with a leaf does nothing. Click Click Click --Shadow ... 04:16, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Diamond and Pearl Trainer Card Vs Platinum Trainer Card

Aren't they different, don't you have have to get all the Color Prints to receive a star in Platinum? --DSDark 03:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Black and White Trainer Cards

I was going to ask if we knew this information yet, but I just found it on serebii.

I'm not exactly good with charts, so.... Anyone up for it? --~~AuraGaurdian 22:50, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't the article have images of all of them? --Abcboy (talk) 02:08, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

White 2: Blue trainer card after beating Elite Four

I seem to still have a blue trainer card in Pokémon White Version 2 even after defeating the Elite Four. According to the article, I should have a green card. Pikachu Bros. (talk) 00:21, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

X and Y trainer card.

Before I completed my National Dex on Pokemon Y, my trainer card was Blue. But after I completed my National Pokedex, it was Silver. (This was after seeing all Mythical Pokemon also) Mr.Anonymous (talk) 05:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Why are Black, White, Black 2, White 2, X and Y on here?

I'm not too sure about the gen V games since I never played them but it looks like they don't have stars and I know X/Y doesn't have stars on the card either. It makes no sense for them to be on this article. Yamitora1 (talk) 02:16, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

"While Trainer stars themselves do not appear in Pokémon Black and White onwards, the Trainer Card still changes color with the completion of certain tasks."

Functionally, the lack of stars doesn't make any difference. The Trainer card upgrades (changes colors) when you achieve certain feats. That remains the same. At best, you might be able to argue that the article should be titled differently. Tiddlywinks (talk) 02:24, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Heh, too much work and that takes a long time to get done. Yamitora1 (talk) 02:41, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

New Hoenn Pokédex

Is Deoxys really not needed, now that it's available freely in-game? Eridanus (talk) 07:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

This information is from bluesun, who I believe got it from the Japanese guidebook:

• You need 706 Pokemon for National Pokédex completion; Deoxys is counted, but no other Mythical Pokémon
• Rayquaza, Jirachi and Deoxys aren't counted towards Hoenn Pokédex completion --SnorlaxMonster 07:57, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

ORAS stars question

you sure that with beating a least once the Elite Four the card upgrade one color?

the only moment that my card change is when i beat one of the Battle Chatelaines and only change to bronce after that

there are other ways more to update the card aside of complete the pokedex?--kyokencl (talk) 12:56, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Move

Referred to as such in at least the DP/Pt/HGSS/BW Prima walkthroughs --Abcboy (talk) 06:06, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Page Move

Personally, I think that this entire page should be a subsection on the Trainer Card page. It's easier to follow and makes more sense that way. --LavaringX (talk) 10:10, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

I would also like to add that the Trainer Passport stamps are a subsection of the Trainer Card page, which makes no sense given that these trainer stars aren't. I also agree with Abcboy in that said subsection should be called "trainer levels". --LavaringX (talk) 02:51, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the Black/White Trainer Card

I have recently been going through the entire series, completing EVERYTHING. However, I have yet to unlock the Black/White Trainer Card in Pokémon Black or White, and frankly, I believe that's because that particular card doesn't exist. The chart claims that one way of increasing your card rank is by defeating Subway Bosses Ingo and Emmet in the Super Singles and Super Doubles Trains, respectively, in the Battle Subway. I have done this AND defeated them simultaneously in the Super Multi Train, and my card did not change. Instead, for each Super Train Boss I defeated, I was given a trophy, a total of 3 rewarded and placed in my bedroom in Nuvema Town. On top of this, when I received the Gold card in either game, the Pokémon Center Nurse would acknowledge my achieving that particular rank, something that in previous games would only happen upon reaching the highest rank on your card. I am well aware that the chart is based off information taken from Serebii's website, and I mean no offense to the guy, but I believe he may, in fact, had been misinformed when uploading data on the Trainer Card ranks in Black/White. After all, his site also says you need to obtain every Entralink Pass Power, when in reality, you have to raise your Entree's Black and White Levels to 30. Yes, you also unlock every Pass Power by doing this, but you still need to pay for them with Pass Orbs, and their effects are only temporary. I haven't started on Black 2/White 2 yet, so I cannot say whether or not the Black/White Trainer Card exists in those games, though I do plan on looking into it.--Knowitall (talk) 09:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Please feel free to correct any information that you know is false, preferably specifying in the edit summary.

Anyway, is it possible you missed another requirement? This is a job that many players would finish, so I find it highly unlikely that it isn't actually a requirement (not sure if you suggested that), and also that a color that didn't exist at that time was added before B2W2 was released. There are probably videos or images out there, maybe try searching those? Nescientist (talk) 09:45, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

I did some further research, like you suggested, and after looking through Japanese blog posts, I eventually found it. Or rather, I found THEM. Apparently, you get the Black Card in Black Version, and the White Card in White Version. However, those blogs say the same thing as this site, that you have to beat the bosses of the Super Singles and Super Doubles Trains, which, as I've said in my initial post, I have, in fact, done so, as well as the Super Multi Train, which one blog in particular stated was only optional. I couldn't have missed a prior requirement, as I was saving the Battle Subway requirement for last, and made sure my card in both games changed color upon completing a requirement. So now, the question is why I didn't get that final upgrade. I could try again on another save file, but beating the Battle Subway bosses 3 times has left me feeling mentally drained, so I'll just consider the issue resolved, unless someone else would like to look into it.--Knowitall (talk) 23:25, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

On the cartridge I have access to, I've not received all Pass Powers nor all Props, but I do have a silver Trainer card; streaks are 114 super singles, 60 super doubles, and 0 super multi. I'm afraid that's all I can do for ya. Nescientist (talk) 13:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Oh? Well, perhaps you could send me your save file? I can get the remaining Pass Powers and Props easily enough, and report back.--Knowitall (talk) 01:27, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
