Japan Getting EX Power Keepers – Pokemon Card Laboratory (PCL) told several players at tournaments this past weekend that Japan will be getting EX Power Keepers before the third Diamond and Pearl set, Shining Darkness, is released in July. How the cards are released and to what extent they will be released is unknown at this time. Suffice it to say, Japan will have EX Power Keepers in time for Worlds – however, it is unknown if the set will be released on a wide-scale, like with a regular set, or perhaps given only to players going to Worlds, then released in stores at a later time. It is a complete mystery at this time as to how the cards will be released, but we should have more info soon, so be sure to check back! Thanks to Nanimonoka for the news.

It is called Redshark, and you can learn more about it and download it from our Redshark page.
