It's similar to saying something like "special stats" instead of "Special stats", since you aren't specifically stating "Special Attack" and "Special Defense". In a real life example, "I live on a street" or "I live on Main Street", but not "I live on a Street".
?_? I would go with Choice item instead of choice item because choice itself is another noun while Choice would infer Choice Scarf, Band, and Specs... :x Same goes for Orb... Should it be capitalized? To me, orb is just a ball while Orb to refer to Toxic Orb and Flame Orb... So no idea here >.<
