The recent change (namely the discussion surrounding it) to make the "Mail" item have a unique sprite in Team Preview has made me realize somewhat of an oversight in how the "Team Preview" mod works for gens older than BW. In gens before BW, Team Preview didn't exist, and as such, the item status (whether or not a pokemon has an item at all, as well as whether or not that item is Mail) of the opponent was unknown until you saw it used/Frisked/Tricked/Knocked Off/etc after the battle had already begun, though currently, the Team Preview mod for gens 2-4 results in the opponent's item status being shown to the player. With this in mind, I think it'd make more sense for items in Team Previews for these gens to act more akin to how gen 8 Team Preview works, in that it doesn't show the opponent's item status at all. I get that Team Preview existing at all in these formats is a bit of a subjective matter with how implementation works, though I feel that this would be the most faithful to how the base games operate.
Also, if this change gets approved, it would be very appreciated if it could get done quickly since the sudden Mail change drastically impacts the DPP 1v1 meta and 1v1 World Cup just started
