Just a small end of the year update:
Pikachu:
I currently have 706 unique Pikachu cards in my possession (698 if you exclude miscuts, ink misprints and autographed cards). With some recent ‘discoveries’ I now know there are 807 regular sized TCG Pikachu cards in existence. I also still have 5 more cards incoming in the mail.
This year I’ve also started and finished my Pikachu Jumbo collection in less than 2 months. I have all 17 Jumbo-sized Pikachu cards, as well as 10 more Jumbo-sized cards featuring Pikachu in their artwork.
Regarding languages for the regular sized TCG Pikachus: here are the amounts I have, sorted from highest to lowest percentage:* Russian: 100% - 11 out of 11
- Dutch: 100% - 6 out of 6
- French: 95% - 97 out of 102
- English: 94% - 154 out of 164
- Italian: 92% - 89 out of 107
- Japanese: 87% - 188 out of 217
- German: 87% - 86 out of 99
- Spanish: 82% - 40 out of 49
- Korean: 80% - 16 out of 20
- Chinese: 75% - 3 out of 4
- Polish: 75% - 3 out of 4
- Portuguese: 28% - 9 out of 32
I’m also in the process of creating my collection video. Yesterday I’ve recorded audio of myself. At first I wanted to record my collection on video, but I couldn’t find a good angle for my (pretty crappy) camera, nor would the differences be clear on video. So, instead I’ve only recorded the audio, and will make scans of all the cards. So the video will become a slideshow with me talking in the background. (I’m currently in the process of scanning the cards.)
**Seviper:**This year I’ve also decided to start a Seviper Collection, since Seviper is my favorite Pokémon. In the ± 2-3 months I’ve been collecting them I now got 81 (with 1 more incoming) out of the 97 Seviper cards (and cards featuring Seviper in their artwork) I know to exist. (As far as I know there is only one card featuring Seviper in its artwork at the moment: the Team Aqua’s Kyogre EX Full Art from the Double Crisis set).
**Mimikyu:**After seeing Mimikyu in the first few episodes of Sun & Moon I just had to collect those as well. 
Currently only one is released, the Japanese 009/SM-P promo, which I currently have incoming in the mail.
All in all a great year for my Pokémon Card collections. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year’s Eve. Here’s to many more great years!
Greetings,
Kevin
