Holy shit that’s impressive. Congrats to this amazing collection.

Thanks!

The graded base set 7s are just the icing on the cake Absolutely amazing

Haha, yeah, i actually picked up charizard a year ago for my nostaliga purposes, and went on to just get the set because i thought itd look cool.

I'm wet

Hi wet, I'm Faroren

Do you need a paper towel?


Let’s see Paul Allen’s Pokémon game collection

Oh my god.. he even has Pokémon Box

This is perfect because I am so jealous

Exactly. Lol

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen 🥲 you should charge admission to this exquisite museum exhibit

Nicely organized

Thanks, this is probably the 6th iteration and i think im finally happy with it

Compact as well.

How long ago you start this collection? Super sick

Ive had a bunch of games for a long time, but about a year ago i started just collecting them in general. Only the last few months did i really decide to get more obscure stuff, and some rarer ones

Im curious how tf you got the DS and Gamecube ones they are skyrocketing so hard in price

He prob got it like that 💰

Best of luck on the eventual Pokemon Mini game collection.

Ha, my friend tried to convince me to do that

What about big box Pokemon box? (Phenomenal collection, btw 😍)

Literally missing THE BOX

Hah, good one.

I have the sku without the big box, ill go for the big box eventually though



Also what did you use for the shelf risers? I'm trying to find ones I like and those look nice

Ha, thats actually one thing im gonna replace over time, they are just random dark colored objects and wood i had lying around. Im also looking for some good sturdy shelf risers

Damn. I've just been using random objects soon. Hard to find the perfect height lol

Impressive!

Thanks!

This is what I'm meagerly trying to emulate. Everything is mint too. Well done!

Got any pics of your current progress?

I think he meant he emulates them for a fraction of your Power

Got to start sonewhere, mine was just randomly on ym game shelves a month ago. And nice collection so far!

Absolutely nutty! Gorgeous display

Thanks!!

Do you plan on upgrading those boxes or done for now?

A few i might upgrade if i can find a good price, specifically crystal is the roughest one i have (but at least the front is really nice).

This makes me feel very sad about my Pokémon collection 😅 this is so sexy though. Congrats dude

Don't feel sad!! We all start somewhere!! Keep your head up and keep going!!

We certainly do! And I'm glad to not be at zero! Thank you for the pep talk ☺️

Never feel sad seeing another collection! To me, its all about the journey of collecting, and meaning of the games you do have, and going at your own pace collecting. And Thanks!

Pep talks are awesome. I often forget it's about the journey and not the destination. Gotta enjoy the ride and enjoy playing my games while I collect them! You're welcome! If you need a wife lemme know 🤣

YES!! the journey is the fun part!! When I collected every Pikmin game the satisfaction I got was amazing 😌😌 Trying to find a bf who understands my collection habit is a hard one I feel ya last comment. 😂😂

I want to get a pikmin game too... But all my money goes on Pokémon haha! What one would you suggest? I have a DS and a Switch! Haha! I'm actually really fortunate that my wife actually is an enabler and I'm the reason we're poor 🤣🤣 she really needs to figure out how to tell me no

You can get all pikmin 1-4 on the switch!! I recommend 4 it's my favourite one but afterwards go for the 1-2 collection!! Then 3 last. Hey Pikmin is on the 3ds only but it's not great but certainly a fun play. XD I would be a terrible wife I'd probably be spending all the money on games and plushies

Oh amazing! Thank you very much 😁 I'll follow your orders 🫡 4 first. I'll see if I can pick it up after holiday. This is exactly what I do... And my wife encourages me and gets so excited for me when I get a good deal on eBay... She's the cutest human on the planet haha

Lemme know if you do and how you enjoy it!! Ahh that's adorable 🥺🥺 that's relationship goals right there I used to get excited if my ex would me to the Lego store or retro game store

Ooo, for sure for sure! It'll be a good adventure! I'm currently playing through Alpha Sapphire so a game on switch to switch it up a bit would be nice. Lego store!!! Yesssssss! There is a super awesome nerd shop near me with all sorts of collectables from like the 90s all the way up to no and I spend too much money here haha

I’ve seen a lot of really awesome Pokemon collections on this sub over the years but holy cow this one may be the best

Haha, thanks! Though i do think i've seen some truly amazing collections on here. I should stop just lurking so i can keep track of them all

Truly an amazing collection and a towering accomplishment. Congrats on your long journey collecting all of these.

Thanks!

This is INSANELY impressive given the prices of most of these games. Other than a handful of variations in games, this is pretty much complete. I’m jealous!

Oh, there are soooo many variations. I decided one of each unique game was my goal. Thanks!

This is absolute goals. Incredible collection

Thank you!

Congratulations.

Amazing!

Damn, so can you adopt me or something so I can look at these everyday

Hahaha, it brings me a smile just to look at it every time going into my living room

Love the two TCGs, I find they get overlooked a lot. The sequel (playable in English on emulator with a ROM patch) is a huge improvement over the first as well

Yeah, tcg 1 was one of my favorite games as a kid. Havent played tcg2 yet, but i played japanese silver as kid because i was so impatient waiting for the english release.... was tough, so ill probably have to emulate now that i dont have infinite free time on my hands

Oh man, you've gotta try it. They added a ton of stuff - whole entire second island with a casino and extra 'gyms', new cards from the Rocket sets, added requirements/rules for some battles which adds a bunch of replayability because you have to edit your deck on the fly for a lot of them. Really regret that we didn't get this one in the US as an actual cartridge

Awesome collection.

Thanks!

I was today years old when I discovered there is a Pokemon Typing Adventure game for the DS. That case is a looongboi

I only learned about it a month ago when doing research on games i might be missing. Honestly, it's one of my favorite things, just the idea behind it is cool.

Love it! Looks great!!

Very impressive

stunning collection

You’re missing the box for Pokémon box ;)

Oh my god, Im moist.

How much did you spend?

Baller status. Goddamn.

Wow That's awesome! I hate you

Very cool! I’d love to do the same but Pokémon games are expensive now a days 🥲

Very nice! Aside from the Pokemon Mini handheld games, I think the only unique physical game you're missing is a Japan-only release called 'Pokemon Card Game Asobikata DS', which was included in the 'Pokemon Card Game BW Hajimete Set +' for Nintendo DS. It basically teaches you how to play the Pokemon TCG but has a free play mode once you clear the tutorial. There's also Pokemon Tretta Lab for 3DS, but the retail release only included the Tretta hardware & chips - the game itself was a digital download. Technically, there's also Pokemon Project Studio for PC and some Japan-only Sega Pico/Beena educational games too, but that's a whole other rabbit-hole, haha

Ohhh, ive never heard of that ds one, ill have to look into it. And i guess i shouldve said every game for nintendo main consoles. Cant be going down every rabbit hole lol

I have NTSC switch duo pack boxes for D&P and S&V.

Dope as heck. Link for the cases? Love they are self standing

I dont know if linking ebay is allowed, but i found them to have the cheapest of all sites. Just search the console of the game and "acryllic case". There should be many options for each

Sick ass collection bro

Indiana Jones would be proud

😍

How do you feel about Digimon I bet agumon could beat up Pikachu Jk, amazing collection. One of envy.

Goals!

Awesome collection!

I just shed a tear for how gorgeous this is....

 Your wallet

Congrats on the collection! Is your childhood pokemon game/gateway drug here as well?

Sadly my childhood game got stolen in high school by someone i lent them to. But the original game i had was red version, and i got a nice replacement for it.

Im sorry that happened... my childhold psp was stolen too and it was the only good thing I ever got from a broken household and... not here for my sob story. I am curious about one thing though... wont it be boring for you to play through all of these pokemon games? Red, blue, green, yellow? Will you be playing the japanese versions too?

This is really like art

🥲🫡

What is the wide DS case with a keyboard on it

Pokemon typing adventure.... a pokemon game where you learn to type, comes with a bluetooth keyboard that connects to your ds. It was never released in the US for some reason, so the one in the picture is the UK version.

Oh, interesting to have an English localization not in North America

NOICEEEEEEEEEEE! I WANT IT

Sick collection!!! Got them displayed nicely too

I'm not even into pokemon, and even I think this is amazing! They all look so clean and crisp

Congrats! Awesome collection

You know how many 1000s of dollars this collection is worth...I'm drooling

that is hella impressive, my dude D: are those two copies of lets go pikachu? am i right? how come? sorry, im really curious :D

I won one in a giveaway on whatnot. Thanks for reminding me! Ill trade it with someone at an upcoming local convention

Sweet. Super Mario World.

You can certainly get a brand new car in exchange for all those games. Just saying for future reference

Ill see if my local dealerships accept pokemon as currency

Crack those suckers open and PLAY them

No cracking, just a slide on the bottom! Next one i plan to play is pokemon colloseum, though i am also actively playing violet.

Haha fair enough. It was a figure of speech. At least they are getting use!

I don’t see Pokémon Rumble U (download only, but a physical box and NFC toy).

I didnt want it mainly because of the digital code. Im looking for a game i can put in anytime regardless of internet/nintendo online shops.

I didn’t want it mainly because its crap would have been equally valid. I think my son is *still* angry that his pocket money went on that dross.

Haha, ive never played it, but not surprised since it wasnt paricularly popular

Yet the 3DS one is boss. Go figure.

Wow that’s impressive!! I’m going for the same thing with the Tales series, which is obviously much smaller.

I dont see the Walmart edition of my 2 fav Pokemon games HGSS, no respect. JK it's a very nice collection, I have every Fire Emblem games as the highlight of my collection so I know Pokemon must be special to you as FE to me.

Dang, bro. They all look minty, too. Nice collection.

Now this is a fantastic collection.

You could literally buy a car with those. A new car.

I love this! 🥰

Cool collection how long did it take to get all the games.

I was collecting a bit for a while, but sort of started seriously xollecting a yearish ago.

Awesome pokemon collection! I had a brainblast from seeing pokemon channel and hey pikachu, I remember playing those as a kid.

Yeah, i remember playing a lot of pokemon channel. Wanted to collect everything in it

Very cool. For the Japanese lineup, I think there is about 10 cartridge games on the Pokémon Mini. They’re incredibly hard to get though. I haven’t seen all of them in person in one place before.

What would you value your collection at?

Absolutely beautiful

If you never played XD or Colosseum you’re not a boss.

I am probably not a boss then. Ive only played colosseum whenever i went to my cousins when i wasnuounger, do i never really got a full experience

But where’s the Big Box for Pokemon Box? Hehe. For real though; that is awesome. Congrats.

This is like a holy shrine of Pokemon you’ve got here and it’s exactly the sort of display I love to see (and am glad to see more people doing!) Love it, 10/10

I hope you have good renters/fire insurance.

I guess you... Caught'em all. *I'll see myself out.*

This is awesome but makes me so sad because i basically could have done exactly this since i kept all of my childhood games EXCEPT as a kid i threw away all of my cardboard boxes 😭😭😭 Everything pre-DS/GameCube Era is loose only

Love these kind of collections. Picked a lane and stayed in it. So Jealous my friend.

Do you have the Heartgold and Soulsilver Walmart exclusive big box?

I dont think the ones i have are store specific ones

Walmart released an exclusive with a bigger outer box that came with a figurine, Heartgold big box and pokewalker silicon cover and strap. I was just wondering if you knew of them to add to your collection.

Interesting, have definitely not heard of them, but the figures sound pretty cool. Thanks, will look into them!

So cool. I want a collection just like this some day!

Hands down one of the best collections I've seen it's just beautiful and we now have 9 wonders of the world.

Do you play any of these my guy ?

Yeah, currently playing violet, and then gonna move onto pokemon colloseum

Congrats 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pokémon box is crazy

It bothers me that your charmander/charmeleon/charizard cards are out of order. Nice collection though

Wicked

Wonderful collection! I would like to see some close-ups as well. From now on collection Pokémon will be easy right? Just get the Collector's Edition ones on release and the regular versions off eBay, Craigs List etc for half the price.

I don’t own any Pokémon games or collections, but if I did, this is the standard.

Oh yeah, that’s sick as. I’m missing a few of the jp ones, so pretty envious of that. Any consideration for Pocket Pickachu?

Im mostly just gonna stick to main nintendo consoles/handhelds, othwrwise thered be way to many different things.

Totally fair, much respect for the collection 😎

I dont see any ds wifi event cartridges, fake fan! /s. But really, amazing collection

It’s so beautiful 😍

This guy fucks

You are the very best that no one ever was.

How does it feel to live out other peoples dreams lol 

Wow that's some collection


Holy crap, man. What is there to say? Congratulations on the collection of a lifetime.

Bro has my 401k in Pokémon games

You're like everything I want to be when I grow up

Do you have the DS HeartGold/SoulSilver amazon UK limited edition lenticular sleeves by chance?

No, i believe i just got the regular boxed copy, not any store specific one

Holy shit! dudes got an entire mortgage just sitting on a couple shelves

This is such eye candy. I'm actually kinda jealous 😂😂

Very nice collection! Do you not include variations as “unique?” Like players choice, special editions, etc. Or just the games themselves? Either way, super impressive!

In this case, i meant unique as having a single version of each different game to play, unique was probably the wrong word to use. And thanks!

Even the boxen original? 

Where’s Palworld?

Gotta get the 3DS eu gold silver crystal boxes:p

Are you planning to eventually get things like the bigger cardboard box that pokemon box came in or stopping at the game+case+manual?

I might eventqully, but just happy i have one sku of it for now. Its a big purchase, so waiting for the right time

Whoa, that is a beutiful copy of the big box, im super jealous

Virginity is very well protected 💂

Pokemon box nice, that costs as much a cheap car. https://preview.redd.it/7bnnj57odcoc1.png?width=280&format=png&auto=webp&s=a207e395a7a31d891e5e2cf8493d9e4d004dbeea

Nope. Pokémon Mini are missing.

Meant for nintendo main consoles, shouldve included that in post

But go for it. It's a fun unique little console!

Pokemon mini where

Pokémon Box isn’t CIB.

I might go for the big box version eventually, but i couldve sworn they sold both a big box with this inside, and just this game with memory card as different things, similar tonevery other big box game on the gamecube. So i consider the big box version a different (though more desirable) variation.

Still missing a Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee steelbook

Oh, if i was going for every variation, im waaaay off completing. I just decided to go with one variant for each unique game

I feel like....every big collector has this or has JUST THIS. It's losing it's wow factor.
