Species Collector Index

I made an E4 Species Collector Index. It is an ongoing reference which includes a list of collectors and the species they collect, along with their constraints and collection pages if available. I built it so others can collaborate or have a resource for species collecting or collecting in general.

With some really preliminary analysis I found it neat to see how many collections exist for each generation (from the 4 major threads I captured data from). Definitely skews to older generations and gen 7/8 get very little love:

Another thing I have found interesting is between those 4 threads I looked at, the vocal E4 species collectors only cover 168 species! I think we need a quest to achieve a full 100% species collector coverage to include all pokemon species.

I’ve sourced these from several main threads and probably missed quite a lot. I did not go down to the level of searching individual users. If I missed you, please don’t take it personally. If there is anything you want me to add or update, give me a comment here. I’ll be glad to update the sheet. If you have suggestions on how this can be maintained better, I am also open to that.

Thanks

Nice idea of making an overview of species collectors active on E4. :slight_smile: Sourcing some of them from this thread might also help, although loads of them might be inactive these days. :thinking:

FWIW, back when I was still making species TCG lists for other collectors, I’ve made them for a total of 160 different Pokémon (174 lists total, but this also includes some like all Galarian Pokémon; all cards with Sabrina cameos; etc.)

Btw, the constraints are incorrect for both of my entries in the spreatsheet. :sweat_smile:

  • For Pikachu I collect all languages up to February 27th, 2021, not 2025. I assume a typo? The rest is correct. :slight_smile:
  • And for Seviper: Unlike Pikachu, I haven’t stopped collecting all languages. I still collect Seviper in every language for both TCG and non-TCG, including cameos (no matter how small).

Greetz,
Quuador

Very cool! A bit surprised I’m the only one collecting arcanine (and growlithe, but arcanine is the primary focus still). I know there are some people out there, but maybe just not on this forum. A good reminder I need to update my thread… I haven’t touched it since before the website moved. :grimacing:

I am collecting an English master set of Vulpix (including Alolan). Also include exclusive Japanese cards and (at least) a card from every other language in print.

Here’s a link for anyone that wants to take a peek: Vulpix master set (English+)
