Though not prevalent, photography has appeared throughout the TCG multiple times. The first involved two contests, the {{DL|Illustration contests|CoroCoro Best Photo Contest}} and the {{DL|Illustration contests|64 Mario Stadium Best Photo Contest}}, which challenged players to take interesting pictures of Pokémon from [[Pokémon Snap]] and submit them. Five entries from each contest were chosen, with the winning images used on extremely rare reprints. The exact number of these cards is unknown.
