    [PokeCommunity.com] Do you collect any Pokémon merchandise?

    Image taken from Hoshiiya.​

    Anyone collect anything Pokémon-related? Anything counts, from the games to magazines and even those little nostalgic erasers that were sold a long time ago. :D If not, is there anything you'd like to collect? What's holding you back (time, money, motivation, etc)?
     
    I used to collect the trading cards when I was eight years old with my cousin but I rarely see him anyway plus they dont sell them near me anyway.
    I always wanted to collect some pokemon plushies but I never have the money and I dont know where to get them from
     
    I used to collect pretty much everything that was related to Pokemon in some way. Whatever it was, as long as it had a Pokemon on it, I bought it.

    These days, I've narrowed down what I buy considerably. I got back into collecting the cards again, especially now that there are those Legendary Collections for the anniversary. Along with those EX collections of the R/B/Y starters. That's really all that I buy, which is enough for me.

    Though I do keep my eyes out for any decent plushies of particular Pokemon. I just got a Jolteon one, and I'm still on the search for a Dedenne one.

    The main thing that's stopping me from doing as much collecting is money. Pokemon isn't the only thing that I collect, and I have another collection that means more to me that I dedicate more money to.
     
    I used to collect the TCG, but eventually lost all of my cards and decided to quit after a while. But I do still collect plushies and shirts; since I can't order off the internet myself, I have to rely on places like Toys R' Us and Hot Topic for both things. I have a Froakie right now, but want to find another Pikachu plush to replace the one I mysteriously lost years ago. :c
     
    Years ago I used to try and collect the TCG cards, but that was only short lived. Not really a collector of sorts, but recently, I decided I would like to start and I just recently got a Pikachu plush. I think I do have those little figures that came with Platinum and HG/SS laying around somewhere too!
     
    I used to collect cards and plushies! Sadly I no longer have any Pokemon merch that I would consider a collection :( Maybe if I ever have some spare money around I will try and obtain all of the Pokemon games and display them :^)
     
    I get the most affordable yet decent looking ones as much as possible. I have a Meloetta plush doll that i got from a convention and it was sold at a rather decent price.

    Spoiler:

    I used to collect the cards, figures, plushies, those Scholastic books which detailed one of the stories from the episodes, the Pokemon Tazos that you could find in packets of crisps. Nowadays I sometimes buy the occasional Poke Doll ;)
     
    I collect a lot of non-TCG merch, though most of my collection by sheer quantity has always been the TCG cards.

    I think I've got somewhere between 25 and 30 Pokemon plushes at this point, and somewhere north of 40 TCG-related figurines. And I think 15 non-TCG figurines. I've kind of lost track and these are all just guesses, really.

    I also have a copy of every single English version game except Crystal, and I've got several game guides and am working on collecting every manga that's gotten translated and brought over to the US. I've also got somewhere around 20 TCG tins (that I am not using to store my cards, mind) and several Pokemon themed deck boxes and long boxes for the TCG. Also playmats and TCG sleeves. And Pokemon-related Amiibos. And pens. And pencils. And mini-binders. So, so much.

    Most of this has been collected within the last 5 years, though. Didn't have much money of my own before then.
     
    Plushes, figures and cards, not religiously but I like to pick stuff up when I have the cash I kinda wish I collected the cards in sets but I don't have a patience for that.
     
    Aside from the games. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when I was younger I collect pokemon cards and I'm not really good keep them in minty condition also I really really want the Charizard doll and I pesk my mom so much to get it. Who knows where the dolls are now
     
    I may be a huge Pokemon fan, but I never collected many merchandise at all. The only one I even remember was my old Pikachu plushie from when I was very young, and I got that one around the time Pokemon was well taking off on the international stage.
     
    I've recently started collecting quite a few Pokemon-related things. I have the Red, Cynthia and N Nendoroids, and the 20th anniversary edition Pikachu plush. I also have the Pokemon Center Raichu plush. I have a smallish stack of Pokemon cards too but I don't actually know how to play, nor do I know anyone interested in Pokemon to play with, haha...
     
    I used to buy any Pokemon toys I could find. But after I got too much, I started only buying things of my favourite Pokemon, mostly plushies.
     
    When Pokémon first came out I collected the tomy plushes and the tomy figures. I still have them all.


    I bought a big grab box from Hong Kong so I have a lot of Tomy figures from Gen 2 as well, all my figures I bought were from gen 1. One thing I liked about the figures back then was you could get an evolution line in the same pack, not 4 random Pokémon like they are now. I also prefer the paint on the older figures.


    That being said I have bought figures of the megas and the eeveelutions, though I'd really like to finish my tomy gen 1 collection but have to search ebay.


    Now I collect various things, the card sets, the pins, the promo cards, as well as plushes including the Eeveelutions that were released recently. I want to get all of the Pikachu Mega Cosplay plushes.
