Not sure if set 8 or 9
- 535-536 Riku Child Ver.
- 537-538 Kairi Child Ver.
They are part of Set 9 as they were released on 5/2. Seiki 12:31, 4 June 2016 (PDT)
- Also, not sure which all medals on the template are event medals.KrytenKoro (talk) 06:28, 6 June 2016 (PDT)
- Child Riku, Child Kairi, Darkside, Terra/Ven/Aqua, & Original Goofy are all the event medals. Seiki 11:16, 6 June 2016 (PDT)
- Illustrated Sephiroth and Kairi are in the permanent pool?KrytenKoro (talk) 12:03, 6 June 2016 (PDT)
- They're premium medals. They're not permanent but they aren't event at all. If they are to be given the gold lettering like event medals, then the same should be done for all premiums. Although if we were to distinguish them with a color, I'd feel it best they get a different one to define them as premiums.Seiki 23:01, 7 June 2016 (PDT)
- I don't get the distinction, but I thought the whole point of distinguishing these was to point out which were limited time and which were permanent. Can you clarify?KrytenKoro (talk) 05:25, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
- Event medals are distributed via actual events and are called Events. These are distributed via unusual ways such as how Snow White & Seven Dwarves recently was in the NA version (Drops from very specific limited time missions) or how Timeless River Mickey was distributed; which was as a reward for completing the Proud Quests. These medals are not at all part of the pool and never will be. In fact, aside from a very select few, most of these cannot be bought with Jewels at all.
- Premium medals are different however. They are distributed within the pool and nowhere else much like normal medals. However they are much rarer than normal medals and only available from the 10 medal deal. To get one, you must spend an absurd amount of Jewels and mostly rely on luck. The only way to get a guaranteed one is in Japan is if you spend about 30,000 Jewels. If you fail to get it from the 10-Draw 10 times in a row, the 10th draw will give it to you out of pity. This guarantee does not exist in the NA version. These are only available for one week then never again, similar to Event Medals, but they are still part of the draw pool, albeit temporarily. These medals are all medals listed here under the Limited Medals category. They are named in-game as Limited/Premium medals and are not defined as Event medals by the game as it is not an event but a chance for a rare and powerful medal during the weekly draw.

- I was not aware the game made any internal distinction between types of Medals. Can you direct me where to look?
- In any case, I don't think we're addressing the larger point -- while the earlier draft of the navboxes may have actually called these medals "Event medals", this version does not -- the highlighting is just picking out Medals which are permanent versus those that are temporary. Can you help me understand why we would need to further differentiate these into Event vs. Limited Medals (or even Event vs. Common vs. Limited vs. Farmable Medals), and how we would communicate what each highlighting means to our readers? My own opinion is that this distinction would be better served on the individual medal articles.204.11.142.106 13:19, 8 June 2016 (PDT)

Does all this even matter for the set template? Maybe we should have a permanent and temporary pool template instead. Event medals are only available during the events, premium medals are only in the draw pool for 1-2 weeks and some other medals like Jack Skellington are removed from the pool for different reasons. The release date date of any medal could be included in the infobox or on a set page and that's that. --ShardofTruth (talk) 13:30, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
