I have at least one of all the main series installments going back to the GBA games (the older games either broke or were lost when I moved, so my original Red, Yellow and Gold are all unfortunately gone), and in some cases I have both (such as Black and White, HG/SS and OR/AS) from gifts or because I had a gift card and there wasn't anything else I wanted. Â I don't know many people where I live that play, and even less online, so most of my trades are through the GTS and stuff. Â
I'm not the biggest fan of the spinoff games, but I absolutely positively LOVED "Pokemon Conquest" and am really hoping we will see the setting and/or the game style again in the future.
I have various collectibles scattered around the house. Â Most are kids meal toys (I still have the old Burger King Pokeballs that were recalled, but I have them stashed away so no kids get ahold of them and suffocate), an Ancient Mew promo card that is one of my "luck charms" I have on me when I play any TCG, a couple of Gym Badge pins that came out with mini figures back when the series was new in the US (used to have them all, but gave them to various friend's kids) and some other things my friend's son Alex gave me on multiple Birthdays and Christmas (the little guy loves Pokemon and thinks I must be awesome because I'm the only grown up he knows that also likes it).
And because I'm a huge dork with too much free time, I even have a couple of custom characters. Â I even spent the better part of three months trying to catch a legit shiny Eevee in OR to name after the main Pokemon of one character (a male Sylveon named Eon, though in the story that was not the evolution he expected).
The other character is roughly the same character, only in the setting of Pokemon ReBURST with a Burst Heart containing a Scyther (my favorite Pokemon).
