There's a thread about it on Pokegym, not sure if I can link to it. PM me if you want it.

EXP. All can be used in tournaments but it is treated as EXP. Share, and requires an EXP. Share as a reference card (look under Neo Destiny and EX FireRed & LeafGreen).

The only real difference between these cards is that EXP. All is discarded after using its effect but EXP. Share is retained.

But they have Different names. It's not like Night Maintenence counts as Super Rod

I'm aware, but apparently this is one of those rare cases where a card with a different name is treated as one with a newer name. This could be because the Exp. Share item in the games is not only the spiritual successor to Exp. All AND it looks the same, but regardless, that is what has been decided.

Would you like me to root out all the past cards that will no longer be legal (as it pertains to the second post) and put them up in a list for you? Or is someone else already on that?
