(Japanese: 時の果ての絆 Pokémon Card Game DPt2: Bonds to the End of Time) is the name given to the second expansion of cards from the Japanese series of cards, Pokémon Card Game DPt.
Information
Bonds to the End of Time is the second expansion in the Pokémon Card Game DPt series and the second set based on Pokémon Platinum and, more specifically, its redesigned Gym Leader and Elite Four lineups.
The Pokémon featured in the set, unlike in Galactic's Conquest, are based on Pokémon owned by Sinnoh's Gym Leaders and Elite Four members. The set also introduces two new types of SP Pokémon: Pokémon GL and Pokémon 4. Pokémon GL are classified as "Gym Leader's Pokémon" and Pokémon 4 are classified as "Pokémon of the Elite Four" and are all Pokémon that are seen as part of Gym Leader and Elite Four lineups in Pokémon Platinum.
Other expansions before this to feature Gym Leader's Pokémon are Gym Heroes, Gym Challenge and Pokémon VS. However, the only expansion to previously feature Pokémon of the Elite Four is EX Power Keepers.
