As originally worded, the question only specified that the card was physically released in Japan, not that the card was available prior to the release of the Pokémon TCG game for Game Boy. The question was reworded to specifically exclude 3 cards originally exclusive to the game which did later receive physical releases in Japan. Two of these cards, {{bp|Tangela (GB 1)}} and {{bp|Electrode (GB 1)}}, received physical releases as part of the Japanese only Pokémon Web set. The other card, {{bp|Dragonite (GB 1 Promo)}}, was jumped on by many entrants who interpreted the original wording of the question, referring to "A card present in the" game, as referring to this card which was included as a promotional card with Japanese copies of the game. People who gave answers based off any of these 3 cards prior to the question being reworded were not penalized.

A number of entrants also guessed the Mt Fuji {{bp|Surfing_Pikachu_(Wizards_Promo_28)|Surfing Pikachu}} card, based on this specific version of the card having not been released in English. However, that the card was released in English, just with different artwork, was clearly noted in the trivia of the {{bp|Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)}} page. As a card identical in all aspects other than the art was released in English as a {{bp|black star promo}} card, this was not judged to be a valid answer.
