-*Being the first expansion of the [[Generation IV]] era, 55 Pokémon first featured in Pokémon ''Diamond and Pearl'' were introduced to TCG form in this set.
+*Being the first expansion of the [[Generation IV]] era, the set introduced 55 new Pokémon to TCG form.
 *Like all new generations, the card layout was redesigned yet again. Changes include:
 **The evolution window graphic returns to the upper left of the illustration, as it was on cards released before the ''EX'' era.
 **Illustrator credit is included on its own line near the bottom of the card, just above the retreat cost.
 **The circle pattern featured on ''EX'' era cards behind both the card name and attacks is no longer present. This gives more space to be used by attacks and Pokémon Powers.
-**Flavor text, such as height, weight, level, and [[Pokédex]] entry return after a five-year absence, last appearing in '''''{{TCG|Neo Destiny}}'''''.
+**Flavor text, such as height, weight, level and [[Pokédex]] entry return after a five-year absence, last appearing in '''''{{TCG|Neo Destiny}}'''''.
 **Japanese cards revert to having no set numbering system (though still following the ordering system introduced in {{TCG|e-Card 2}} with a slight modification to put {{ct|Darkness}} and {{ct|Metal}} cards before {{ct|Colorless}} ones), instead listing a collection number modified from the Pokémon's [[National Pokédex]] number and [[evolution]]ary family. English cards use both this number (featured on the bottom left of the card) and the set numbering system introduced in the '''''{{TCG|Base Set}}''''' (featured on the bottom right).
 **On English cards, level appears immediately after the Pokémon's name (previous releases had relegated it to the Pokédex entry). HP text is now smaller (though the number remains large) and appears ''before'' the amount, as on Japanese cards, rather than after.
 **A new numbering system for Pokémon was deployed on the lower left of the card, labelled '''DPBP#'''; this ''[[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex]]'' number system combines aspects of the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat system]] featured in the {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
 *In an unprecedented change, Pokémon which are {{type|Poison}}s in the [[core series]] games are now designated as {{ct|Psychic}} Pokémon, rather than the former {{ct|Grass}}.
-*{{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} and {{TCG|Pokémon star|Pokémon}} {{star}} no longer appear, and are replaced by the new ''{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}''.
+*{{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} and {{TCG|Pokémon star|Pokémon}} {{star}} no longer appear and are replaced with the new ''{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}}''.
 *Some Pokémon now have "free" attack costs, indicated by a {{e|None}}, which require no {{TCG|Energy}} to use.
-*Both {{TCG|Darkness Energy}} and {{TCG|Metal Energy}} receive new {{TCG|basic Energy}} forms which are free from the 4-per-deck rule (though they no longer have the former special effects). Cards that allow the player to search for a Darkness or Metal Energy card may seek out either version. In the set order, these new basic Energies are put after the other six, rather than alphabetized with them.

In the set order, these new basic Energies come after the other six, rather than being alphabetized with them.
 *The term "Basic Pokémon or Evolution card" is replaced with "Pokémon" on cards, allowing for the selection of any Pokémon card when searching.
 *Weakness and resistance are now dependent on the card text, rather than being a strict calculation that is static among all cards. Older cards still use the ×2 damage for weakness and -30 for resistance, but newer cards can have other factors involved.
-*{{TCG|Unown}} are now named on the card according to their letter, meaning that they count as separate Pokémon. A deck can now legally include 4 Unown Q and 4 Unown F, but only for cards released in this set and on (older cards still follow their rule).

-*{{TCG|Supporter card}}s and {{TCG|Stadium card}}s are now treated as a separate class of card, rather than a subclass of {{TCG|Trainer card}} as they had been considered previously. For the purpose of this and future checklists, standard Trainers are still marked as "T", while Supporters are "Su" and Stadiums are "St".

 *Several rules have been changed:
 **A 2003 ruling disallowed the player who took the first turn from drawing a card; this rule has now been withdrawn.
-**No Trainer cards, Supporter cards, or Stadium cards can be played during the first turn; however, cards depicting a Pokémon [[Fossil]] can be played during the setup phase, as long as at least a normal Basic Pokémon can be played as well. Fossils also no longer count as a free KO, and a prize is to be drawn if it is Knocked Out.

 **Half decks are now allowed only two copies of cards besides basic Energy cards. Full 60-card decks retain the four-card rule.
 *Packs of cards saw an increase from 9 cards to 10 in English, a welcome change for players and collectors alike. The contents of a pack are now:
