Is there a listing somewhere of Japanese cards that have exclusive artwork (not released outside of Japan)? ---

Unfortunately it would be a pretty big list, since more than 25% of all artworks aren’t released outside of Japan tbh. There have been some threads about cards exclusively released in non-English AND non-Japanese, for which the list is a lot smaller, like [this thread](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/list-of-exclusive-art/22244/1) or [this one](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/why-are-some-japanese-exclusives-not-printed-in-english/22965/1). Out of curiosity, what is the reason you ask this question? Are you looking for all Japanese-exclusive artworks of one or two Pokémon in particular? If we could pinpoint it to a certain sub-category of Japanese-exclusive artworks, it would be easier to help or create such a list. I sometimes make [lists of all cards (in all languages) for a certain Pokémon](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/list-of-all-tcg-cards-that-exist-for-a-specific-pokemon/16709/1), so all Japanese exclusive cards of a certain Pokémon shouldn’t take long to compile in comparison. 😊 Greetz, Quuador ---

I tried to make this list a while back but did not have an easy time gathering information and was not able to finish it. As mentioned before, it would be a pretty expansive list ---

This isn’t conclusive, but some things you’ll want to look at are: \* Topsun cards \* Bandai Carddass cards \* Vending Series cards \* Bulbasaur & Squirtle Starter Packs \* Promo cards in general (just check Bulbapedia to see if non-Japanese versions were ever released) ---

Off the top of my head I’d add VS Series and some exclusive cards of Web Series and the Neo Intro Pack. ---

I could make the list quite a bit larger if those after 2002 would be added, like some of the ADV-P, PLAY, PCG-P, DP-P, PPP, DPt-P, L-P, BW-P, XY-P, SM-P, S-P promos; the PokéPark Blue & Green; the 10th, 11th, and Random Movie Commemoration Random Packs; the two Japanese Pikachus from the Pikachu World Collection 2010; some exclusive artworks from decks, like Dunsparce, Pichu, and Unown M from the Rampardos the Attacker deck or Magby, Magmar, Unown T, and Girafarig from the Bastiodon the Defender deck; etc. 😉 One other that comes to mind now and I forgot earlier are banned artworks, which were censored in English and other languages.
