Hello, Poke-people!
I'd like to introduce myself, I'm tiny_wai1ord. I've been interested in Pokemon ever since it came out, and I loved to collect Pokemon Hasbro and Jakks Pacific plush. Now, I'm collecting Pokemon Center plush- not for myself, but for my nephew with autism, with whom I share his Pokemon Center plush collecting adventure. Others' misunderstandings of his differences cause him a lot of distress in his home and school environments, but it seems like his "real" Pokemon friends provide him with a sense of security and safety. I really enjoy playing through the games with him (like the Let's Go! and 3DS entries), but the virtual world doesn't provide physical presence and tangibility that plush do. It is to help him that I joined this site by hopefully catching him some new "friends" from a place where Pokemon plush are appreciated. In summary, my goal isn't to "collect" per se, but to support someone who could really use the morale boost-- all without causing myself financial hardship as a self-supporting college student.
Before wrapping this intro up, I'd like to convey some facts about my nephew's interests within the world of Pokemon. Unsurprisingly, his first Pokemon plush was a Hasbro Pikachu. However, I think he's now focused solely on the US Pokemon Center plush. His favorite Pokemon include Mega Shiny Gardevoir, Raichu, Furret, and Swablu- all which he really likes from the games/ TV show and would really like plush toys of. With this in mind, I sincerely hope some member(s) on this site may be able to help me find them, and, in turn, help my nephew. Thank you all for reading this, and I look forward to being a part of this community!
