It would be surprising if they didn't. Because me Japanese contacts say the set will be called EX Olympius, and using it I will--RULE THE WORLD!!! :lol: :lol: AHAHAHAAA!!!

Seriously though, I heard it's EX Olympius.

It was announced at the EX Sandstorm tournament in San Diego today that the next set will be called EX Dragons. Wonder if it will include flying dragon PKMN, such as Rayquaza.....

The Japanese ADV3 set includes the following Dragon pokemon:

Gyarados
Dratini - Dragonair - Dragonite EX
Vibrava - Flygon
Altaria (does Dragon Dance attack)
Shelgon - Salamence
Rayquaza EX

Then the mini-decks which were released with ADV3 have more Salamence and Flygon, as well as the Latios EX & Latias EX (they have the same colorless weakness that all the rest of the new dragons have, but I don't know if they are considered dragons themselves)
 
EX Champions and EX Olympius sound better than EX Dragons. Still, I'd understand it if Dragons were the theme of the set. Still, couldn't they call it EX Sky Pillar, or some other dragon-infested area of the GBA game?
 
Don't forget Bagon is also a Dragon pokemon.

And technically Gyrados is a water/flying pokemon.

And there is a Kingdra in the set too! :clap:

I couldn't tell on my quick trip through the spoiler whether Bagon was a dragon or not - Gyarados uses Dragon Rage, so I included it - Kingdra EX looks sort of "dragon-like" , but I didn't know if it was technically one or not :)
 
will salamence be in that set?
i heard there is a pretty good one coming but i dont know if it is in sandstorm or the next set.

yes salamence will be in that set, like I told you :p and seriously, this set is looking awesome, i seriously can't wait for amphraos ex and kingdra ex, those look really cool.

Well, Kingdra according to the G/S Gameboy games, Kingdra is considered to be a Water/Dragon type. Plus, it learns a number of Dragon-type attacks(such as Twister, Dragonbreath). Wonder if they'll make a colorless type Kingdra for EX:Dragons since they've made other past dragon types colorless?

Because i go to japan very frequently (i spend about a week per summer in japan, im trying to get a job at pokecenter) I'm looking forward to seeing The Dragons EX set in japanesse... I saw 3 cards; Salamence, Dragonair, and an energy... i dont know if those were from Dragon EX but...

sorta off topic but, IMO i think dragons should have their own types, because they arent really related to normal types at all; they should have their own set of W/R... And, about Kingdra, there are many older variants you can get of him...personally, i like the neo one.
 
another thing id like to note... dragon types never really did live up to their game hype (in the game they were immensely overpowered) and i hope that Dragons EX will repair their broken image and increase their now-lacking power
 
Man...if only SPP was working I would post the card listings.The Japanese name of the set is Champion of the Skies so I don't know where your getting Olympus...

Personally I think there is WAY too many types in the game to be adding a NEW one. NOOOOO Dragon types for me.

O, Come on Nick, everyone likes Dragons. I wonder if the set will have any new cards in it like Sandstorm did. I guess we will have to wait till November/December to find out. :p
 
Our TO told us at the pre-release in San Diego that the next pre-release would be around Thanksgiving for EX Dragons. So, that means that the set will probably come out 2 weeks later in December (I am guessing the 8th, since it is two weeks after the week of Thanksgiving on a Monday)

The TO's were given two weekend dates to run the EX Dragon Prerelease like they did with the EX Sandstorm Prerelease tournament. It just depends when your TO wants to run it in your area. :cool:

Are they expecting more locations for the EX: Dragons prereleases to be held compared to the only 26 locations for EX: Sandstorm?

PUI has not said one way or another, but they did want a least 35 for the Sandstorm Prerelease, which makes me think they will try to get more then 26 locations for the EX Dragon Prereleaes.
 
I heard that there's a supporter that has a similar effect to super scoop up but without a flip! Is that true?
 
There are too few Dragon type Pokémon to make an extra energy type for them. Then it would end up just like the small Metal type (before R/S), where they had to reprint Skarmory, Steelix, Scizor and Magneton over and over and OVER again. :/
