** The promo card you got when you went to see ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie|Bonds Beyond Time]]'', which had a limted theatrical run to say the least? Malefic Red Eyes Black Dragon. Which is better than most of the cards above... but the problem was that it was released ''after'' two more powerful Malefic promos in Shonen Jummp ''and'' a mass-release pack full of stronger Malefics, meaning better options were all-too-readily available. To make matters worse,''Malefic Red Eyes Black Dragon was also in said pack, just printed in a different rarity''... Which makes it both a '''Promotional Powerless Piece of Garbage''' ''and'' a [[Junk Rare]]!
** For Europe, a lot of the Shonen Jump magazine and manga promotional cards have now been deemed illegal for use in TCG events due to a new ruling by Konami saying that only cards that have been printed in that country can be used. Several years ago when the TCG first came out, cards from the American boosters were banned outright in tournaments until Upper Deck/Konami removed that ruling. Long story short, atop of other things it means that the Legal God Cards are now banned in Europe until Konami prints them in a booster pack.
** There are also cards [https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Nanana like] [https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Potato_%26_Chips these] that are released as references to other Japanese media, sort of like [[Free Prize At the Bottom|promotional toys given away in fast food kids' meals.]] It is unlikley anyone intended them to be used competatively.
* ''[[Pokémon]]'':
** In the first generation, Porygon costs 9999 coins (6500 in the ''Blue'' version... lucky bastards) to buy. And the only way to get a lot of coins is to gamble them or buy them (1000 yen for 50 coins). All this for a generally useless Pokemon. Porygon later got two evolutions added to it which are significantly more useful, but by then you didn't have to buy it for obscene amounts of coins anymore (in ''Platinum'' you get one ''for free'').
