I’m enjoying the ex renaissance we are in right now, these were very overlooked cards for much of Pokémon’s history. Welcome to the forum!

It has horns that form a mouth and can chew through iron beams, what’s not to love! Lol.
Thank you for the warm welcome

Usually if I am going to add photos, I will click on the ‘Upload’ icon on the toolbar above the text of your post, it looks like this:
If you wanted to start a collection thread of all of your cards, the perfect place for it is linked here: Collecting Threads Edit Just realized you had already made a collecting thread

Hi all, I joined back in 2020 and made a few posts here and there, but never formally introduced myself.
Like a number of us, I got into Pokemon through the first games (Blue version!) and was also collecting the TCG back then. I remember one Christmas, my parents let me purchase a number of Base set packs, so I placed packs individually on my forearms, one on each forearm, and tried to pick the “heaviest” packs, and I eventually pulled a holo Charizard! (which I ended up trading for like 10 - 11 holo rares). Aside from my Pokemon Blue cartridge, though, all my childhood collections (TCG and TOMY figures) are gone now.
I didn’t really get back into Pokemon until a few years ago, when I picked up PTCGO during the Crimson Invasion release. I really enjoyed messing around with the in-game economy and thought it might be fun to look into buying/selling the actual cards too, so I took the dive and started buying/selling cards around the time of the COVID boom. It was fun sourcing cards and having these pretty neat cards I didn’t even know about (e.g. delta species cards, e-Readers) pass through my hands, but it wasn’t until recently that I thought that I’d actually like to try to build a collection again.
I’m a pretty frugal person, so small collection goals will work for me for now: some artist collections (mostly focusing on bulk/cheaper cards) and Hoppip/Skiploom/Jumpluff cards. I also have it in my mind to collect Chinchou/Lanturn and Wooper/Quagsire, but I’ll ease into it. It’ll probably take me a while before I can feel comfortable dropping hundreds of dollars on a single card, but we’ll see!
Another thing I’d like to eventually share with others here are my Pokemon crafts! I’ll probably make a thread at some point, but I like to crochet, needlefelt, and embroider/cross-stitch (but mostly crochet). I have it in my mind to try to make some backgrounds to go with my crochet pieces to take Asako Ito-esque pictures, but I haven’t undertaken this project yet.
I look forward to participating in this community!
