Yeah, the suggestion relies too much on text, and I'm just sure that someone's going to call JAFAAC on it at some point.
That said, I'm on the fence as to whether the current works just well enough (as in, the Mega Man reference) to keep until we find something to switch it with, or if it needs to be pulled.
I don't suppose we can find an image that graphically represents the trope? What about something with a red potion bottle paired with a blue one, since they're commonly used to represent an HP and mana refill item (respectively)?
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...
No, the other one.
What's the difference between this and Healing Potion?

As opposed to what, exactly?

"Not a game mechanic"? I do not know enough about games to tell whether it's a The Same, but More Specific situation.

As far as I can tell from the descriptions:
- Healing Potion — an item that heals you, restoring HP and/or removing debuffs, or even reviving a fallen ally
- Emergency Energy Tank — an item that heals you, restoring HP and/or mana, or debuffs, or preventing death
Yeah, you know what, I think these are pretty much the same trope, despite Healing Potion saying it's a supertrope of Emergency Energy Tank.

Healing Potion have game examples too. This one is a healing potion that restores all health, can be put in an inventory and is therefore Too Awesome to Use?

Hm... do we need to make a TRS thread for this now, or is it okay to discuss this here?

In my experience, the difference between Healing Potion and Emergency Energy Tank is that the EET exists in games that don't have many held items in an inventory.
Like in Megaman, the Energy Tank is the only thing in MM's inventory other than ammo.
That said, going through the examples, it's just Healing Item that's Too Awesome to Use, which... isn't really anything, since most Too Awesome to Use items are healing items.

Then we may need a cleanup to match the trope's proper definition.
In the meantime, though, let's get back to the topic and discuss the replacement picture.
Hi
I don't have time ATM to read the descriptions, but off the cuff, Emergency Energy Tank sounds like an item that is much more rare than a Healing Potion and would only be used as a last resort in a situation where a Healing Potion isn't available and/or wouldn't be enough to help your health in the current situation.
No, the other one.
Just saying, the reason I asked was mainly because the difference is something that should be included in the illustration. If it's a subtrope it would always fit the supertrope by definition, but an image should show what it is that makes it a subtrope to begin with.

Hi
Now that I've actually looked at the page, I much prefer the suggestion to the current, and would support pulling the current if we don't agree on a replacement.
Gentleman Troper!
Thank you.
I would also support merging this with Healing Potion; the only difference is that a Healing Potion can sometimes be carried in your inventory depending on the game, whereas an EET can always be carried in your inventory. That's not a meaningful distinction; in numerous games healing potions fall under this trope. Anyway, that's for the TRS queue.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Another so-called distinction is that an EET replenishes your health completely.

If that's true, the description needs revision, because the first sentence is this:
and it is confusing.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...Oh, weird.

Hi
Clock is set.
I prefer the suggestion to the current. It's not an especially great image, but it's a marginal improvement.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
iRidescence
Yeah. It relies heavily on the text, but at least it explains the object's function and it's not an image macro.
Note: As of this post, there is one slot left in the TRS, if the trope really needs help.
Hi
The clock's up. What consensus there is is for the suggestion, so it's up, potholed to Franchise.Final Fantasy, and tagged. Add a caption if you want one; locking up.
Well, just a soft drink and a caption, really. This trope is about a computer powerup, not a random can of soft drink with an E on it. Suggest pulling as JAFAAC, and suggest this pic
◊ as a replacement. The picture on Too Awesome to Use would also work here, but then we'd need a replacement pic for that trope.
