===Spotlight on: Charles===
* '''EX Power Keepers''' (Japanese: '''ワールドチャンピオンズパック''' ''World Champions Pack'') is the name given to the sixteenth and final expansion of cards of the EX Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* '''Charles''' (Japanese: '''チャールズ''' ''Charles'') is a motorcyclist from [[Driftveil City]].
* The set was released February 14, 2007 in North America, and July 5, 2007 in Japan.
* In Pokémon Black, he demonstrates [[rotation battle]]s to the player by engaging in one with the player; in Pokémon White he demonstrates [[triple battle]]s.
* EX Power Keepers is loosely based around the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]]; [[Sidney]], [[Phoebe]], [[Glacia]] and [[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]]. They each have their own {{TCG|Stadium card}}, and the {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} featured in the set are all Pokémon owned by them in the games.
* He learned this new style of battling to get the attention of a girl he liked.
* With no Japanese set at the time to correlate with EX Power Keepers, many English exclusive cards were created, making this set the first since {{TCG|Team Rocket}} to use original cards created outside of Japan. As a result, many cards feature artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]] (as his Pokémon character images are used widely in other media and are readily available) plus background images edited with filter effects from various sources.
* He is the only Trainer in the games to have the Trainer class "Motorcyclist".
* In Japan, the set was available only through the Pokémon Card Game website, in a similar fashion to the distribution of the {{TCG|Pokémon Web}} expansion. Released under the name of '''World Champions Pack''', it was intended for Japanese players only so they would not be at a disadvantage at the {{TCG|2007 World Championships}}.
* His catchphrase is "I'm a heartbreaker... My name... Charles."
* The English release featured two {{TCG|Theme deck}}s, {{TCG|Dark Blast}} and {{TCG|Mind Game}}.
* Unlike {{tc|Biker}}s and {{tc|Cyclist}}s in [[Generation V]], Charles does not speed up when the B-button is held down.
