   I just realized it has a different effect vs. Legendary Collection’s version. Does that mean I can play both Pokémon Breeders in the same deck in
   Unlimited Format?

   However, I remember reading somewhere that if a card got a reprint, then its latest text should be applied and its previous outdated text should be ignored, but maybe that only applies to Standard Format, I don’t know…

     Devianter, when Pokémon reprints a card with dramatically different effects, the older version is no longer legal for play, even in the Unlimited Format UNLESS an errata is issued for the older card as well. This is because, even if the card had NOT been reprinted, the errata would require we all play it the “new” way anyway. HOWEVER, this situation might be a bit more confusing, because the Japanese names for both “Pokémon Breeder” cards are different (going by the work of others – I’ve never actually gotten around to learning Japanese >.>).

     The reprint rules can get a bit complicated because, over the last (nearly) 20 years, a lot of things have popped up; if you have more questions, feel free to ask. I mention this because what you said used to be true, and may still be for cards with insignificant differences between printings (like mild rewording). In the case of identical or nearly identical reprints, the game treats them as the exact same card, so you can use the older or newest printings in any format where the other is legal, they count against the same 4 Copy Rule, etc.

   Very similar to EVS “Aroma Lady.”
