Everyone has had a childhood obsession. Something they never let go and will love for the rest of their life. Something that they could always count on to be there for them when they were younger. Mine just happens to be Pokemon.
Ive been in love with Pokemon since before I can even remember. I know the first episode I watched. I remember waking up Christmas morning disappointed that I didnt get the specific Pikachu toy that I wanted only later to find out it was hidden behind our tree. On my bed, there is my giant stuffed Pikachu that I received from my older brother when I turned six. I still hold it at night while I try to fall asleep. Pokemon has always been in my life, and always will be.
What I'm about to show you is a very very very small portion of my Pokemon collection. When I say small, trust me, I mean small. My family moves at least twice a year, so to make things easier, a majority of our non-essentials are in a storage unit. This includes my Pokemon collection.
My actual Pokemon collection is ten times the size of this, but since I do not have access to it at the time being, this will have to make do. Below is a short description of each picture above and what is in it. The quality isn't the greatest since I don't have a camera and only a phone. I apologize. Regardless, I hope you enjoy my Pokemon collection.
Top left: My mini collection. Down on the bottom of the picture, there is a pink pikachu wall scroll. I forgot to take a close up of it. Its entirely in Japanese. There is also a Pikachu slipper and in the bottom right there are Pokemon notebooks that Kevin won in a contest.
Top Center: Collection of some my pokemon games. They include: Leafgreen, FireRed, Yellow, Ruby, Crystal, Gold, Silver, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Pokemon pinball 1, and Pokemon pinball 2.
Top Right: My Pikachu. Hes 10 years old this year. Received from my brother when I was 6 during my birthday party at burger king. I remember getting a chocolate shake that day as well.
2nd row down left: Pokemon window stickers. My brother brought them back from Japan.
2nd row center: Pokemon action figures. Charizard shoots fireballs and metagross shoots a hyper beam disk.
2nd row left: Pokemon miniatures. The big Pikachu key chain was given to me by my brother. Its made almost entirely of string. He got it in Japan. In the top left of the picture there is a pikachu in a suit. Its a necklace and it lights up and flashes. I think we got it at a fair or something.
3rd row left: Pikachu charms! The one on the right is a surfing Pikachu on a rainbow surf board. Yet another thing my brother got at the Pokemon Center in Japan.
3rd row middle: The Pokemon movie book. Its entirely in Japanese. A gift from my brother. I think he got it at a convention.
3rd row right: Kevins DS, featuring a Ho-oh and Lugia DS cover. A gift from my brother, from when he went to Japan.
Bottom left: My DS, featuring a Pikachu DS cover. Another gift from Jason.
Bottom middle: My Pikachu/Pichu Gameboy Color. I honestly dont remember when or where I got this. Pikachu's cheek is the light that measures your battery life.
Bottom right: My Pokemon shirt. I got it when I was six and it still fits. I always wear it to school. :)
(Note: Some items added are my brothers and sisters, like the extra pikachu charm. I did this to make the collection slightly bigger and to show a variety of specific items.)
