   I love the little Happiny mug!

   Two Questions (kind of):
   1. Does anyone know what the point is to put a card from your hand on top of your deck when you’re going to shuffle your deck anyway?

   2. What’s the point for some cards, like Bebe here, to include the word “choose” in their text? Some cards don’t have it. For example,
   “Search your deck for an X Pokemon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.”
   Are there perhaps an “unchoosable” effect that prevents a player from “choosing” cards that I don’t know about? I know many other card games have them.

     1. It’s worded like that just to avoid shuffling two times. It could be worded like Pokémon Trader, which used the word “trade” in the text, but they abandoned that word, probably because it was a little ambiguous (if I don’t find a card to trade for, do I leave the other card there or do I cancel the effect?). Check Pokémon Communication, it’s Pokémon Trader with an updated text that is similar to the one on Bebe’s Search.

     2. There is nothing special about “choose”. With each new block released, the wording on the cards got more concise, some expressions were abandoned and others were created (compare Base Set Potion to the SM one).

       Thanks, I was unsure about that because I noticed in the online game that some instructions were telling me to “select” a card while others were telling me to “choose” a card, but they seem to mean the same thing.
