I don't know if anyone's heard of this. This is the description I wrote for Wikipedia.
EX Dragon Frontiers will be the thirty-first Pokémon Trading Card Game set when released by Pokémon USA, Inc. on November 8. It will be the last third-generation set. The set is based on an unknown island far away, inhabited only by Delta Species Pokémon. It marks the final appearance of Delta Species Pokémon, after they debuted in EX Delta Species, returned in EX Holon Phantoms, and most recently appeared in EX Crystal Guardians in August 2006. The next set after EX Dragon Frontiers will be based on the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games.
Journey further than any Trainer has ever been when you explore the islands where powerful Dragon Pokémon rule. In EX Dragon Frontiers you'll find rare Pokémon-ex Delta Species, long awaited Pokémon-*, and new ways to do battle like you've never seen before.
The set will include all 68 cards from the Japanese set list, as well as all cards from Thunderquake and Seal theme decks. This does mean that all Pokémon in EX Dragon Frontiers will be Delta Species, unless the four non-Delta Species Pokémon from the decks (Ralts, Kirlia, Larvitar and Pupitar) are included. As they are the only non-Delta Species Pokémon, this is unlikely.
New Attack Effects
Two Delta Species theme decks were released in Japan alongside Dragon Frontiers; Seal and Thunderquake. Seal was based on Gardevoir ex, and Thunderquake on Tyranitar ex. These are similar to Burn and Poison markers, but have the added effect of being able to be put on Benched Pokémon.
Seal, known in English as "Imprison", is Gardevoir's attack effect, and involves putting an Imprison marker on a Pokémon. When it is on a Pokémon, that Pokémon cannot use any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies. Only Gardevoir ex has this Poké-Power.
Thunderquake, known in Engish as "Shockwave", is Tyranitar's attack effect, and involves putting a Shockwave marker on any one of your opponent's Pokémon by use of Tyranitar's Poké-Power. Tyranitar ex can then use its Thunderquake attack, which reads "Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokemon with a Thunderquake Marker on it. That Pokemon is Knocked Out."

I'm seriously looking forward to this set. What about everyone else?
