10 Rare Pokémon You Only Had ONE CHANCE To Catch
3. Pokémon Stamp Pichu - Pokémon Ruby And Sapphire
Clearly, someone high up on the Pokémon food chain saw the Nintendo Power Celebi giveaway and thought to themselves "Nah, not niche enough", deciding to create a competition even more obscure and with even less winners.
Appearing in a printed release titled the "Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire stamp Contests & Gym Leader sheet" (catchy!) readers were tasked with collecting stamps of Gym leaders that were released around the same time, attach them to the sheet and send off to Nintendo for approval.
As you can imagine, this was a rather difficult affair as not only would they have to know about the competition in the first place, but also collect real-life stamps - some of which weren't widely circulated in 2003.
As a result, only a reported 50 people received their prize! However, it was more than worth it for those lucky few as the Pichu they received came with Teeter Dance, likely an in-joke for how confusing the competition was in the first place.
