'''Emerging Powers''' | '''Emerging Powers''' introduces 26 new Pokémon from the [[Unova]] region, and 70 different Pokémon overall. The expansion continues featuring [[Legendary Pokémon]] with both regular prints and {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art prints}}, and it also features both of the [[rival]] characters, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]], in {{game|Black & White|s}}. | ||
Emerging Powers was created to bridge the gap caused by the Japanese {{TCG|Black & White Collection}}s and {{TCG|Red Collection}}. These sets were released almost seven months apart from each other in Japan, and as English sets are normally released every three months, cards were withheld from the {{TCG|Beginning Set}}, {{TCG|Black Collection}}, and {{TCG|White Collection}}, and were brought together with the {{TCG|Battle Strength Decks}} and various {{TCG|BW-P Promotional cards}} in order to make a set of suitable size for an English release. However, this still wasn't enough cards, so 1 card from {{TCG|Psycho Drive}}, 4 cards from {{TCG|Hail Blizzard}}, and 2 cards from {{TCG|Dark Rush}} were pulled forward from their respective sets and released in this one, bringing this set's total to 98. Despite this, it is still the smallest set in the Black & White Series. Also included are 2 reprints originating from the BW-P Promotional cards. {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Patrat|78}} is a reprint from {{TCG|Black & White}} and {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Pidove|80}} is a reprint from the {{TCG|BW Black Star Promos}}, originally handed out in the {{merch|Black & White|Black & White booster two-packs}}. | Emerging Powers was created to bridge the gap caused by the Japanese {{TCG|Black & White Collection}}s and {{TCG|Red Collection}}.
