* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'' The cover of the game shows only Lightning in a badass pose, but we only get to play as her younger sister Serah and Noel. |

* [[Series Mascot|Pikachu]] is the best-known Pokémon example, appearing in almost every single piece of merchandising available (you wouldn't even know that it's actually a fairly rare Pokémon, and unobtainable via normal gameplay in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]''). Furthermore, the Pokémon Company will usually let a brand-new Pokémon not named Pikachu star in a movie or video game, and if it's popular enough, it'll appear in all sorts of merchandise and other games/[[Pokémon (film)|movies]]/[[Pokémon (anime)|anime episodes]]/[[Pokémon (game)|TCG expansions]] until the next generation. Although the cute "Pikaclones" in early generations (Pichu and Plusle/Minun) have shades of this, this was first played straight with [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Lucario]], who not only starred in his own movie, but also appeared prominently in every single aspect of the franchise (including a playable appearance in the ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' franchise, beginning in ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]''). Then after trying again and [[Base Breaker|failing]] with [[Pokémon Black and White|Zoroark]] (an [[Expy]] of Lucario), the Pokémon Company noticed how popular Zekrom was, and proceeded to give it a prominent appearance in damn near ''everything'' (including as the main Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Re BURST]]'' and the ''[[Nobunaga's Ambition|Nobunaga's Ambition]]'' crossover). |
