Pokémon is a media franchise published by Japanese video game company Nintendo, owned by The Pokémon Company, and created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996, focused on the titular creatures.
Originally released as a pair of interlinkable Game Boy role-playing video games developed by Game Freak, Pokémon has since become the second-most successful and lucrative video game-based media franchise in the world, behind only Nintendo's own Mario franchise.
Pokémon properties have since been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, books, and other media.

Why I collect...
Pokémon has to be one of my favourite video game series of all time, I played Pokémon Yellow as my first game of the series, and with the second generation as the only exception, I bought games from every generation after!
The third generation and sixth generation are definitely my favourite!
The Pokémon franchise has an unimaginable amount of merchandise, so much in fact that collecting every single piece of merchandise is literally impossible and unaffordable.
Most of the merchandise releases only in Japan at special stores called Pokémon Centers
The great thing with the Pokémon Merchandise is that most items looks really detailed and very cute!
I generally only actively buy merchandise from my favourite Pokémon, to keep my sanity and money at ease.
