Since cards from pre-D&P TCG sets all have -30 resistances, isn't it pointless to add -30 next to the resistance in the infobox? Since D&P-on cards have differing resistances, it's necessary to add the resistance amount there, but since all pre-D&P cards are the same, I don't see why we should bother adding -30. Your thoughts?
 
You know, Moldy, there's really no reason to get upset over something like this.

I'm with Mags, actually. Variable resistances? This is news to me... although it makes perfect sense.
 
I seem to really be the only TCG maniac on Bulbagarden, so it's only natural that you guys wouldn't know.
 
Here is my argument: Bulbapedia talk:Project TCGDex#Resistances was where a discussion was, another was in one of Shiningpikablu's archives, and a third is on User:Drapion's talk page. The reason I say that it should be there is because many people do not know that the resistance is -30. I personally did not know until this issue was brought up, and if someone so involved in the TCG didn't know, others are bound to not know either. Also, the "-30" is on the card and is considered card text, one of the points of the card pages is to have all the card text, not just some of it. The fact that the resistance number changed overtime is ever more reason to not the "-30". And lastly, my final argument is for consistancy. It is on so many cards now that it would be easier to just to add the rest them to remove them all, if they are all added, than this issue won't ever be brought up again. And, Politoed666, you seem to be the only one against it. I'm for it, Drapion and Ht14 are with it because they wouldn't have started adding it if they didn't believe -30 should be there, and Shiningpikablu doesn't care either way.
 
I suppose it is fair to say that someone not involved with the TCG wouldn't know that all the pre-D&P resistances are 30, so I concede.
