Do you collect/have any Pokemon merchandise besides the games?

As you all know Pokemon is a huge franchise and with any franchise comes lots and lots of merchandise. Over the years you may have collected a few things from when Pokemon first began that are laying around your room or maybe you still love Pokemon collecting and your room could also serve as a Pokemon merchandise museum. :D

Besides the games what Pokemon merchandise do you own?

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?

-OR-

If you don't collect/have any Pokemon merchandise besides the games is there a specific reason why?

Is there any Pokemon item that hasn't been made yet that you would collect if given the opportunity?

~My Answers~

I have a lot of random items here and there. Specifically a big Togepi plush, Pokemon coins, cards, Pokedex, and some styluses.

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?
All my stuff is from years ago. I'm talking way way back when Pokemon first became really popular. Besides the styluses of course. Mother bought those randomly. c:

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?
Probably the coins. They're so random and out of place, but I find them to be really cool. I guess it might be because I never see them anywhere and they're actually made out of some kind of metal and not just cardboard like I saw afterwards.

Besides the games what Pokemon merchandise do you own?: Pokemon cards and a few figurines

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?: I still have the cards, but most of my non-Pokemon game related things are from long ago.

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?: The mini Pokemon keychains that come with Poke Balls. I also treasure my Infernape LV X and Luxray GL LV X cards greatly.

I don't really collect Pokémon stuff a whole lot--The only thing I really collect is coins--but if I had to say what I had the most of I would say little plush Pokémon. I can remember having Torchic, Poliwrath, Squirtle, Pikachu, Munchlax, and Mewtwo, although I can't remember the last time I saw some of them. (Squirtle was my favourite. ;-; ) Actually the only thing I really want in that market is a really giant cute Pokémon plushie to hug, but alas, no.
I also have a few little figurines and keychains, and those Poké Balls that reverse into Pokémon.


Other than that I don't have much. I'm not really a follower. It's one of those things that appeal so much to me on one hand but that I know I wouldn't have the attention span for.

If cards count, I still have quite a few of those, but I haven't gotten a new one in forever, and like plushies, I don't have any past early Generation III.

Pokemon cards, Pokemon: The First Movie, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, a giant Pikachu cuddle pillow, a giant Marill cuddle pillow, an Oshawott plushie, a Blastoise plushie, a Shaymin plushie, lots of little figurines... what else... a Reshiram phone charm, a HeartGold/SoulSilver themed DS case complete with Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita styli and cleaning cloth... the Pokemon Ultimate Handbook, the Johto guidebook for HG/SS... uh... I've got the first little novelization, Pokemon: I Choose You!, a Raikou plushie, a Piplup hat... I think I'm forgetting some stuff because I can't think of what they are.

I had lots more when I was a kid, but they disappeared after my mom got custody of me and my sister.

Edit: Derp, forgot to answer the other questions:

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago? Yep. Pretty much, whenever I get money, I do my best to buy at least one Pokemon-related item.

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection? My favorite item... Oh god. Um... I don't know, actually. XD Probably either my Reshiram charm, my Oshawott plushie, or my Piplup hat.

Besides the games what Pokemon merchandise do you own?
I own a ton of stuff. And I'm willing to own a lot more! I have some Poke-plushies (Togepi, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Chimchar, Psyduck, and Riolu), about 150 or so Pokemon cards (and half of them are mint/rare/holos), Pokemon: The First Movie on VHS, Pokemon: The Movie 2000 movie poster, a Pichu alarm clock, and a Meganium Tin Box for Pokemon cards.

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?
I currently collect them, and I'm still on the hunt for any Pokemon merchandise anywhere, whether on eBay or other online stores, or at the flea market near my house. I'll never know what I'll find.

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?
The Pokemon: The Movie 2000 movie poster. It was a Christmas gift from my best friend.

I own a lot of random stuff. I own just little bits of merchandise here and there. I used to collect Pokemon Cards but I can't be bothered anymore.

I do occasionally buy Pokemon merchandise. I have my eye on a Vaporeon plush toy.
What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?
My favourite is either my Lugia plush toy or my Tangela Pokemon 2000 Collector Pin. I also have Pikachu, Farfetch'd and Persian.

Trading cards, figurines [the ones that used to come with their own plastic pokéball, even the cheap non-official ones] Videos, the first movie video and taped episodes [but I don't think that counts xD] Oh I also have the oddish plushie that turns itself inside out into a pokéball, a squirtle teddy and a pikachu cushion :3
[Wow, I have more than I thought I did. xD]

From years ago. I only buy the games now :)

My trading cards because they bring back so many memories from primary school :3

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?
No, I don't actively collect them anymore...Everything is from years ago when I was still into Pokémon. Thinking back about it, I must have collected about everything that said "Pokémon". |D I don't look out for Pokémon merchandise anymore, but I can't deny that I wouldn't mind getting a giant Typhlosion plushie. : <

What is your favourite item out of your Pokemon collection?
Deffinitally the oldest of Raichu plushies. It means/ed a lot to me... I took it everywhere. ^_^ And it's really adorable. x3

Besides the games, I own all of the following sets:

○ Pokémon Plushie(s)
○ Pokémon Trading Cards
○ Pokémon Video(s)
○ Pokémon Figurines

And that's basically it, though I'm probably forgetting at least some things I might have around this place. For them all I have the following in each set:

• I have one; and that's a miniature 7" Pikachu plush. You can tell I don't collect them. XD
• I have a couple of the rare/shiny cards in a case somewhere.
• I only have one and it's the Pokémon Fashion Victim video with three episodes. The good old days, lol.
• I have three of these. One of them is a Mew standing on a purple platform, while the other two are from pre-ordering HGSS, the Ho-oh and Lugia.

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?
I don't actively collect them anymore unfortunately, and they are all from over the years with the only new ones being the figurines from pre-ordering HGSS. I've gotten rid of all my Trading Cards while only keeping the really rare ones I had from the packs. v_v

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?
Out of all the merchandise, my favorite would be my Pokémon Plush since it's the only thing I really have around and can find besides the games. Plus with Pikachu being my favorite Pokémon, having the plush is a great thing. :P

an Eevee Plushie
a bunch of Pokemon figures
a couple of Pokemon themed DS stylist

a keychain
Gold plated jigglypuff collector thingy from Burger King

and thats all I can remember currently and the majority of things things are from my child years and are stored away.

Collect? No
What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?
Most likely my Lucario figure

If you don't collect Pokemon merchandise besides the games is there a specific reason why?
My age let it slip away from me and in my teenage years to avoid being picked on I hid my love of Pokemon shamefully.

Is there any Pokemon item that hasn't been made yet that you would collect if given the opportunity?
Not necessarily "hasn't been made yet", but if I'm ever in a toy store or something and just so happen to seen a toy or something of one of my favorite Pokemon, I'll probably be compelled by forces out of my controll to buy it. Similar to how I got my Lucario figure and key chain. Also if a game got a promotional pokemon item, I'll probably get that too, just like the Ho-oh I got (though I bought Soul Silver and wanted Lugia, they were out and had just one Ho-oh left >_<)

Only a Meowth plushie, and that's only for cosplay purposes.

They don't make the product described in my answer below.

A PVC figurine/statue of Leaf from Pokemon FR/LG. I'd sell my soul, my arm, my leg, and my first-born to have that cutie on my desk :)

From way back in the era of the Gen I games I had some toys that someone who knew someone who knew people in Japan Town was able to get for me. Somewhere in a box there are a plastic Meowth and a Pikachu which have those two little spots on the bottom which if you cover them with your finger you complete a circuit and they talk, in Japanese of course (not that it matters with Pikachu). Really annoying to my parents, but I liked them.

I also had a master ball on a string that was part of some game where you were supposed to throw it at little rubbery figures and have the ball snap shut on them and then return to your hand. Didn't work very well as I remember. That's also in a box somewhere.

Aside from some of the games that's all I've ever had.

I own a lot of Pokemon merchandise. Buckets of the plastic figurines, both large and small clutter in my room, along with a basket of plushies, some of those from Japan. I have a Pikachu clock from the Pokemon Center in Japan, key rings with Piplup and Chimchar on them, a talking Pikachu and Mew, a cute Gengar eraser and the list goes on. There's just so much Pikachu stuff, it's quite sickening. I'm really not that into Pikachu now, I'm more of a Raichu kind of girl.

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?
Yes and no. Yes because I'll be collecting Pokemon items for as long as I can, I don't care, I love it. No because New Zealand doesn't seem to have anything at all. I know of one tiny shop that imports from Japan and that's about it. No one else sells Pokemon things anymore.

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?
I cannot say but I'm loving my Suicune plushie at the moment.

Old pics from just over a year ago. I have more since then. @[email protected];

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokemon items from years ago?
I actively collect. Well, not quiiiite so "actively" lately since I only collect Cherrim and a few other favourites, none of which are getting any attention lately because of gen 5. And none of my gen 5 favourites really have any merch yet.

What is your favorite item out of your Pokemon collection?

That Pichu plush on the right. (Betcha thought I'd say a Cherirm item!) Back before I even started collecting, my favourite Pokémon was Pichu and I had an RP character (Lightning!) that was recognizable by a tuft of fur just like the Pichu brother, so that brother became one of my favourites. One year my family was in NYC and I got to go to the Pokémon Centre and pick out one item. D: I was torn between this big plush of that Pichu Bro or a talking Pichu and I chose the talking one. For years I searched for that other one to no avail, especially once I started collecting "seriously". My favourite plushie was a big Pichu plush that was 1/1, so it was the exact size a Pichu would be. One day I saw someone selling the plushie of the tufty Pichu brother and bought it off them excitedly. When it arrived at my dorm, I realized it was from the same set as the other one, so it was also a 1/1 plush. The desperation to have it and then getting it and realizing it completed a matching set (of rare 1/1s) that I didn't even know existed is why it's my favourite item in my whole collection and remains that to this day. n_n

My other favourites would be my big Cherrim plush (even if it's a bootleg) and all my zukan. Oh god I love my zukan. (They're 1/40th scale figures.)

Is there any Pokemon item that hasn't been made yet that you would collect if given the opportunity?
I want a Japanese emo Cherrim plush but I don't think it's gonna happen now that 4th gen is being ignored. D: Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the day we get Hitomoshi & Banipucchi plushies (they are in production! ♥) and their respective zukan.

There isn't a specific reason as to why I don't collect the Pokemon merchandise. However, I know that a factor is that they're not easily found. I'm sure if I dig around online, I'll find cool items that I want but it's still quite a bit to do just to get a cute plushie (even if they are amazingly kawaii <3). Also, the ones I want are never available! I remember going to the last Anime con in the UK just to try and find a Meowth plush but no.. only Pikachu was available!

I can't really think of one off the top of my head at the moment. :(

Woah - 1:1? Are Pichu really that big? Wait... how big is that chair? Aaaaaah! (runs to check dex...)

Anyways...

Besides the games what Pokémon merchandise do you own?

I've always been a massive fan of the games and since they're quite expensive when new (about £35 for SoulSilver I seem to remember :/) that's what I've mostly bought. However I have some other things floating around:

- DVDs of Pokémon Movies 1 - 6 and I have 8 on HDD somewhere
- An original Pokédex (not sure where it's gone now :( )
- Pokémon Cards (I mean, who didn't?)
- A Pikachu plush
- A Mudkip plush :D
- A VHS of Pokémon: Mewtwo's Return
- A little Pichu figurine
- A Pokémon case for my DS lite
- A 'How to Draw Pokémon' book (don't know where that has gone either)
- 'Gotta Catch 'Em All' CD single by 50.GRIND (*epic* song)

I think that's it. FYI I have at least one copy of a game from each generation (Red, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, FireRed, Platinum, SoulSilver and pre-ordered Black).

Do you still actively collect or are all your Pokémon items from years ago?

Maybe not quite as much as I did when I was younger and wasn't embarrassed to ask for Pokémon gifts for Christmas. But I'm still going - I got my Mudkip plush in Janurary (eBay FTW!). If I were to get the next one, I'd go for a Raichu plush - but it's really hard to find one of those in my budget. :/

What is your favourite item out of your Pokémon collection?

Well I love the first three movies to bits, even as a film student they have some very good cinematic qualities. I also quite like the fifth one for nostalgia value. My favourite at the moment has to be the plushies:



They're just so awesome. :D

It wasn't an overly big chair, I think. (I don't live there anymore so I can't check. :P) But yeah, Pichu is pretty big! It's a foot tall.
