==Information==

With no Japanese set at the time to correlate with EX Power Keepers, Nintendo created many new cards, making this set the first since {{TCG|Team Rocket}} to use original cards created outside of Japan. As a result, many cards feature artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]] (as his Pokémon character images are used widely in other media and are readily available) plus background images edited with filter effects from various sources.

In Japan, the set was available only through the Pokémon Card Game website, in a similar fashion to the distribution of the {{TCG|Pokémon Web}} expansion. Released under the name of '''World Champions Pack''', it was intended for Japanese players only so they would not be at a disadvantage at the {{TCG|2007 World Championships}}. Japanese players could order their packs online from June 15 until July 1, a rather limited window of opportunity. Packs were released from July 5 onwards to those who had ordered them. Each pack contained fifteen cards as opposed to ten.

*At the time of its release, EX Power Keepers finally brought the number of sets released in English and in Japanese equal once again, but with its Japanese release the sequence was again thrown out of balance.

*Despite already being available as PLAY promotional cards in the past, the Japanese set still includes the Eeveelutions {{star}}, allowing players not in the Players Club or those who did not gain enough EXP Points for these cards a chance of obtaining them again.

*This is the first time an entire English-exclusive expansion has been translated into Japanese. Previously, only single cards had been translated from English into Japanese, such as {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Raichu|83}} from the Team Rocket expansion and several cards from EX Sandstorm.
