Does Palmer's contribution basically make Night Maintenance worthless?

Well not totally. Palmer's contribution is a supporter,where as Night Maintenance is a basic trainer. Sure Palmer does a little more,but playing Night gives you another choice of supporter to play on your turn. That's what I think.

RE: Is it just me..
Yeah, but it goes in the deck instead. :F I think it replaces NM. This is almost the equivalent of two and if SP decks can use a recovery Supporter, I don't see why non-SP decks can't use this. Of course, it does vary with the decks.

Plus, NM helps fuel your deck if it's close to empty.

I don't see how that makes it different from Palmer.

I think there both equal.
Palmers is useful depending on the deck and you would prooably have everything you needed set up so you could afford to use it since it is a supporter.
Night Maintenance is a trainer, so you can play a supoorter still and it it gets back 3 cards but most decks play at least 2 so you can get a max of 6 cards back into your deck.
So it probably more so a matter of preference and the type of deck you play

In most situations the ability to use a supporter in your turn as well as a night maintenance outweighs the 2 less pokemon/energies you get back in the deck.

Yes NM plus Roseannes or bebes usually beats palmers all together

For something like Beedrill, I could see one being fit in. So now Beedrill can have 4 Night Maintenance and 1 Palmer's Contribution. It'd be something to recover more than one Beedrill line if more than one should ever fall.

Good point.
By my experience, though, you often don't need to get back more than 3 cards. Usually you are just trying to get back one stage 2 line, or a key level X. You can do that with a NM and don't waste your supporter. Typically I'm wanting to bebee's or roseanne's one of the cards I NM immediately.

I'd rather play NM because it's a trainer and not just a Supporter. You have a chance to do more.

Trainer - Supporter
NM beats them both, being a trainer. All there is to it, +1 to NM.
Amount of Pokémon/NRG
Palmer tops both with 5; NM is acceptable with 3, as that's generally all you'll need; Aaron's only takes 2, and can only take SP pokes, so that's easily worst of the three.
+1 to Palmer and NM.
To Hand or Deck
Aaron's gets them to your hand, while the others go straight to the deck. +1 for Aaron.
NM - 2
PC - 1
AC - 1
I think generally, they all have qualities the others don't, but I think NM is easily the best of the three, as unlike Aaron, is doesn't specify what you can take, and most importantly of all, it's a trainer. This means you can recycle your pokes, and instantly get them back with your Supporter that turn, something which can't be done with the other two.

I like the fact that in Beedrill, I can keep a Bebe's in hand and then use NM to get back my line. Then I use Bebe's and Claydol/Searchdrill to get out the line again.
But for some decks, Palmer's may be better. Although 5 sounds like overkill to me. I ran Aaron in one of my decks and found that I only need 2 at a time mostly.

you could just run 1 palmer 2nm
