::Odds are that, if Pokémon-SP does not make it to English release, English DP8 might end up being a combination of Galactic's Conquest, this set, and the Entry Pack DPt with all Pokémon-SP and related cards removed, with possibly a few promos thrown in; Japanese DP9 would then likely subsequently drop the Pokémon-SP mechanic due to its treatment stateside, and coincidentially realign the DP set numbering.

- Theoretically, we could, but when it comes to main expansions we tend to wait until the English release. There are a lot of other things to do in the meantime, too. Cipher (Talk) 10:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
