The Japanese name for this set takes inspiration from the English set naming system by adding "EX" to the set title. The EX means this is an "extra" set, in that it deviates from releasing the rest of the [[Generation III]] Pokémon and features owner's Pokémon. Several websites and online retailers made the mistake in adding "EX" onto the names of the next expansions. Similarly, it was also originally thought that {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns|Team Rocket Strikes Back}} would have the title "ADV EX2", but the ADV prefix was abandoned after the release of {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends|The Undone Seal}}.

Accompanying the Japanese set were Deck Kits, which contained two [[Half Deck]]s. These contained many cards that could not be found in the main expansion, and were added when the English version was produced. [[Nintendo]] used the same packaging style for several English-exclusive deck kits, including {{TCG|EX Trainer Kit}}, {{TCG|EX Trainer Kit 2}}, and the [[World Championships|World Championship Decks]].

*This is Nintendo's first Expansion with owner's Pokémon.
*This is Nintendo's first Expansion with owner's Pokémon.
*This was the last set to include cards with [[e-Reader]] compatibility (although only Pokédex entries were included; the last set to include playable e-Reader applications was [[Skyridge]]) and the last set to be classed as Pokémon-e Trading Card Game. Despite the fact that cards would no longer feature dot-code technology, the costs involved cited as the reason for the decrease in booster pack size, boosters would not increase in size until {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}.
