===All Aboard!: Battle Subway===
===In the news: Dark Rush===
* The '''Battle Subway''' (Japanese: '''バトルサブウェイ''' ''Battle Subway'') is a facility located in [[Nimbasa City]] where trainers may engage each other in a series of battles. Its function is similar to that of the [[Battle Tower]]s.
* '''Dark Rush''' (Japanese: '''ダークラッシュ''' ''Dark Rush'') is the fourth Japanese expansion in the BW era of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and is released today, December 16th.
* For every 7 straight victories the player achieves, they will receive [[Battle Point|BP]] which they can then use to purchase valuable training items.
* Dark Rush is the largest expansion of the era, having a total of 76 cards.
* After 21 consecutive wins on the regular lines, the player will face a [[Subway Boss]]; [[Subway Boss Ingo]] on the Single Lines, and his twin brother, [[Subway Boss Emmet]] on the Double Lines. The player may face them both in a [[Tag battle]] on the Multi Lines.
* Much of the artwork features locations around [[Unova]], such as {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Sableye|43}} in [[Chargestone Cave]] and {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Plusle|26}} and {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Minun|27}} in [[Mistralton City]].
* In the anime, {{an|Cilan}} took part in a stamp rally challenge within the [[Gear Station]], and winning participants got to take part in a challenge on the Battle Subway, battling either Ingo or Emmet. Cilan managed to collect every stamp after helping [[Erina]], and he and {{Ash}} challenged the twin brothers to a tag battle, which resulted in a loss for Cilan and Ash.
* Dark Rush features {{e|Darkness}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, and has many {{TCG|Trainer card}}s that benefit the type.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|White}} is set to take part in the Battle Subway challenge to help her to learn about Pokémon battling.
* The {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} cards in the set are {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Entei-EX|9}}, {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Raikou-EX|25}}, {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Darkrai-EX|44}}, and {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Tornadus-EX|62}}. The Ultra Rare cards are Shiny reprints of {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Gardevoir|74}} from {{TCG|Hail Blizzard}}, {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Archeops|75}} from {{TCG|Red Collection}} ({{TCG|Noble Victories}} in English), and {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Pokémon Catcher|76}} from the {{TCG|White Collection}} ({{TCG|Emerging Powers}} in English.
* Two of the cards, {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Swoobat|36}} and {{TCG ID|Dark Rush|Mandibuzz|51}}, were pulled from the Japanese set and released in the English {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} expansion in August 2011 in order to complete Pokémon families.
