There is no by-law in any Pokémon League against a trainer having more than six Pokémon on hand, so long as their selection of six Pokémon is locked in before the match begins. There is no by-law in any Pokémon League that a trainer may not be issued a new, valid Trainer Card. And there is *certainly* no by-law in any Pokémon League that holds the ability to *understand one's Pokémon* as an unfair advantage." He also makes it clear that any attempt to ''introduce'' any such by-laws just to target Ash will earn his immense displeasure.
