Pokemon celebrates 25 years of its success this year, and part of that success comes from the merchandise the series produces. For those who like certain types of pocket monsters, there's always some sort of physical merch of it. For a series all about colorful creatures to befriend, a good majority definitely goes to Pokemon plush toys, and one fan has gathered a wonderful collection of them throughout the years.
Pikachu and friends have always had figurines, plush toys, and cushions available for fans to collect, selling them at specific Pokemon-centric stores fittingly called Pokemon Centers. There's been plenty of sets featuring the critters with various objects and doing different things, and this fan has collected their favorites across the lines.
Reddit user teaa104 posted photos of their collection to the Pokemon subreddit, showing a display case with shelves filled to the brim with the monsters. For an extra touch, all of them are color-coordinated in how they're displayed. In the comments, they say that grass-types and water-types tend to be their favorites, which definitely explains how many they own.
The color coordination and dedication to their favorites make the collection memorable and unique. When people have asked on their post which plush came from which set, they've been able to say exactly where the plush came from down to the year. If people look at their pictures closely, Pokemon trading cards decorate the back of the case, which are also color-coordinated for a great finish.
With how they've collected so many, and even memorized the sets and years they were made, it's evident that teaa104 took great care in choosing and displaying their collection. The post also says that it's "most of" their collection in the title, going on to say that an Oshawott plush and fire-type plush toys sit on a different shelf elsewhere in their room in replies to questions.
It makes one wonder just what other Pokemon plush toys teaa104 has in their collection since this one shelf is already rather impressive. Perhaps their most favorite Pokemon partners stay more closely by their side, or maybe it's some of the more bizarre additions like the pillow shaped like Yamper's butt? Regardless of what else is in teaa104's collection, the shelf by itself has made loads of fans on Reddit happy with all of the comments, and the collection is only sure to grow with more plush toys to come.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl launch on the Nintendo Switch on November 19th.
