I've been a big fan of Pokemon since first grade (1998) and have played all of the games (Gameboy, GBA, DS, N64, GCN, Wii etc) up until Pokemon Black/White. >_> I'm not really a fan of any of the new Pokemon.
I've been to the NYC PKMN Center/Nintendo world four times now!! (One time Charles Martinet via the Mario screen called me "Beautiful Princess Kelley" while I was there heehee) On one of my more recent trips in April 2010 (very very rainy day-- and it was the day HG/SS came out!!) , I went to ToysRUs and was interviewed by an online gaming news source and filmed for some sort of Pokemon spot. (Because I was wearing the Gizamimi Pichu hoodie that I made!!)
To see the images from the Pokemon celebration in NYC that day, look here:

The boatloads of PKMN stuff that I have from my childhood don't count as part of my collection ^^;;
OH YEAH!! I FORGOT!!
My dad collects Pokemon as well -- but ONLY Haunter!
Here's his facebook collection page -- so far he only has cards listed:

In closing, here is my Pichu and Gizamimi Pichu collection as of 5/24/2012:
With 8 more figures/plush on the way ^^;;
Maybe I will update again when I get them <3
