Pokémon Game Tip Cards were Pokémon cards distributed in boxes of Kellogg's cereal in Canada in 1999. There were 20 cards in total, with packets of three random cards per cereal box. Each card features a Generation I Pokémon and a tip relating to that specific Pokémon. Most of the tips were related to the then-recently released Pokémon Snap, although other cards contained tips for capturing the Pokémon in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. As they were created for the Canadian market, the reverse of each card contained the same game tip in French, as French and English are Canada's two official languages.
List of cards

|
Meowth | While you can take pictures of Meowth doing all sorts of things in Pokémon Snap, the best pictures are close-ups of one trying to scare you. | |
|
Psyduck | If you can hit Psyduck with some Pokémon food in Pokémon Snap, it will sink below the water. Catch it jumping back out for a high score. | |
|
Growlithe | To track down a Growlithe in Pokémon Snap, hurl Pester Balls into the three craters near the end of the Volcano level. | |
|
Poliwag | On the River in Pokémon Snap, bombard the Poliwag in the bushes with Pester Balls and they'll dive into the water for a great photo op. | |
|
Geodude | In Pokémon Snap, knock Geodude off the Valley wall by hitting it with a Pester Ball. Watch where it lands, because a Sandshrew will appear! | |
|
Slowpoke | While coasting the River in Pokémon Snap, use Pokémon food to lead a Slowpoke to the Shellder sign on the bank. You'll get a big surprise! | |

Doduo | For a high Pokémon Snap score, catch Doduo while it's jumping or just knock it out with a Pester Ball for an extreme close-up. | |

|
Eevee | In Pokémon Yellow, your rival will choose an Eevee as his first Pokémon. Its evolution will depend on how you fare in your first battles with your rival. | |
|
Snorlax | You can wake Snorlax up in Pokémon Snap by playing the Poké Flute. It'll do different dances for different songs, so mix it up! |
