Hi! My name is Amelia (as you might’ve guessed), I’m 23 years old and from Sweden and I primarily collect Nintendo consoles and stuffs, especially when it originated from China or Asia in general.
Sadly, I gave away most of my cards when I was a kid(not like I remember what I had anyway, but you can only imagine the what-ifs), so my collection now is modest.
Now I primarily collect a variety of Magikarp cards, as it’s my favorite Pokémon.
In the future, I would love to branch out my collection to include more Asian language cards, especially of Magikarp, and especially so in Chinese (already getting a couple, but sadly no base set, yet).

Hey!! I had initially stumbled onto here last March, I love the community and now trying to be less shy and finally diving in more! I’m a relatively new collector but have always been a fan of the Pokemon franchise. It’s so amazing to see such a nice community, and the chance to speak to and listen to others in the hobby. I don’t have people to talk about it with or enjoy with really, so it’s nice to see this going. 
It’s a wonderful thing when people don’t have to be alone with something they love. 
I really love and appreciate the illustrations on cards, as I said I haven’t been collecting for too long but I’m enjoying myself by picking up what I can when I can and all that. I actually enjoy drawing some of the illustrations on cards and just trying to see what designs and stories can be told through a picture. I love it! Pokemon really captures this, and I think that’s a big reason on why I’m still a big fan. I can’t wait to continue to see more, and see what other things people treasure and why! But for now, I at least wanted to say hello.

Since you like the illustrations (I agree 100%), perhaps, you’d like these threads on the forum:

Hi everyone! I got back into the hobby a year ago when I found my Pokemon binder at my parents’ house. I was collecting in 1999 as a kid and collected 143/151 Pokemon. To my surprise this was without buying cards at all (poor childhood). I started with 5 common cards from my older brother and traded my way up!
I learned how much depth the hobby has in collecting and now I’m hooked! So much to learn… glad to be here

Hello there, new to this forum but most definitely not new to Pokemon.
Started playing since 1998 with Blue and my favorite Pokemon since that gen has been Vaporeon.
I was heavy into the TCG from base set to the end of Neo, I collected as well as played the TCG/participated in the League (I have my badges around here somewhere).
Got back in to the TCG around the same time as probably a good amount of others, around Fall 2020 with Vivid Voltage.
On top of collecting modern I’ve been working on a grail collection, I want to collect every Shining card. I was lucky and pulled Magikarp, Charizard and Kabutops back in the day and over the past year I got the entire Shining Legends set and I picked up a graded Gyarados. Eventually I’ll pick up the remaining Neo Destiny Shinings but I’m in no rush.

Family collection brought everyone back to collecting.
We commute between 2 homes USA and JAPAN. We had our collection in the closet for 20+ years and when the Pokemon boom hit this past year, got our USA collection out. Our Japan collection was just retrieved due to the problems of entering Japan due to the pandemic. Just a family enjoying and learning about Pokemon again. Vintage to collect, ultramodern to open and have fun.
