Hello, you can call me Harmony or Naix (pronounced ‘nyez’)! I’m 31 now and have been into Pokemon since I was 4, and I’ve been amassing merch that entire time. I used to be super into the TCG as a kid and I built up a pretty impressive collection of Gen 1-3 vintage, but eventually I got frustrated with being unable to keep up with new releases, so I dropped that for a long time. Then I turned to MonColle, but I started losing interest around the SuMo era, and then dropped it for good when the initial SWSH era figures saw a notable dip in quality.
Now I’m getting back into the TCG in a big way, and I’ve also decided from now on to focus my merch collecting on my favorite Pokemon and human characters. My absolute favorites are Sylveon and Lillie, but I also have smaller collections of other fairies and fairy specialists (and Iono. and Eternatus).

Hi, my name is Kenna and this seems like a really wonderful forum. 
I’ve really been enjoying the deep dives on specific releases and such! I’ve been into Pokemon since I was 3 or so and used to collect the cards as much as my parents would allow me until I found the LJ community pkmncollectors and completely pivoted to merch like plush and figures by 2011. I sold most of my card collection in 2020 due to the boom cause at that point most of them had sat in a bin in storage for years at that point, but got back into card collecting in 2023, so of course I regret selling a few things! (But I kept what I considered my rarer and better cards luckily for me) I focus on collecting various species nowadays, with the Aggron line and Rayquaza being my number 1’s and number 2 respectively, but I also have card collections of various sizes for (sorry this list is LONG lol):
Karrablast, Lotad, the Wingull line, the Anorith line, the Swablu line, the Bergmite line, Raikou, Palkia, Skarmory, the Cyndaquil line, Scyther, all Oricorio’s forms, Lanturn, the Bulbasaur line, the Rowlet line, the Turtwig line, the Rhyhorn line (-Rhyperior), the Hoothoot line, the Pidove line, the Pidgey line, the Natu line, the Murkrow line, the Spearow line, the Doduo line, the Starly line, Cramorant, Delibird, Chatot, Giratina, Farfetch’,d, the Ducklett line, the Taillow line, the Fletchling line, the Rookidee line, the Rufflet line, the Wattrel line, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Golem, the Totodile line, and the Joltik line. Some of these Pokemon only have 1 small page or two, but it’s all a part of my collection. I also have a soft spot for Japanese vintage~
Karrablast is one I’m open to collecting more of in other languages besides English and Japanese, just cause he seems in low enough demand that it would not be too expensive, but it’s not a top priority as of now! I’m not sure how active I will be, but I figured an intro is a good place to start.

Hello everyone, my name is Patrick. I have been lurking on efour since Nov 2024, I just never thought about actually making an account (lol). But now I think is the right time, I wanna slow down my collecting so i need another way to interact with the community. So here I am haha. I am from Austria so please exuse me for my spelling and gramatical errors.
A bit about me: I have been an avid collecor of all things I enjoy since my childhood. I have collected so many differnt things, its probably easier for me to say what I have never collected. It all started with Pokemon, i grew up playing Pokemon Emerald on my Gamboy and then HGSS on my DS, somewhere along that line I got my first cards. Sadly I dont have my childhood collection anymore, just random cards that were not in my Binder are left. It is what it is, I have accepted that I will never see them again. From then until now I have collected many different things including Games, Gameboys, Figures, etc.
I dont know when exactly but I just stopped collecting Pokemon cards during my childhood, I came back around the time Pokemon Go came out but stopped after a short while. During Covid I wasnt even aware of the Hype, I just had too much going on. I started collecting again when Scarlet and Violet came out then I lost my job lol. As you can see my attendence is bad haha. Well I joined back in right as Surging Sparks dropped and the rest is history. I engaged a lot with the collecting fandom in Vienna, Austria and im known there for my knowledge about cards.
I also collect One Piece, Dragon Ball, Weiß Schwarz and other rather unknown japanese TCGs. I started collecting One Piece in March of last year when the Pokemon Hype got too much for me, I mainly collect Jewlery Bonney (my fav Character and the Deck I wanted to play/nerver got to that lol) and Boa Hancock (my Waifu). I just recently got into collecting DB and Weiß Schwarz I just bought when no Pokemon was available. From Pokemon I collect Charizards, cards that grew close to my heart and Full Art Trainers.
Im happy to finally be part of the online Pokemon fandom!

Hey everyone,
So I go by “sofamore” and I’m in the UK.
Just recently started collecting base, Jungle and Fossil sets. Will probably move onto vintage Japanese too, as I loved those whenever I would occasionally see them as a kid.
I discovered Elite Fourum today, after seeing a Vinted listing for a “ruby” unlimited Charizard and doing some digging. This place seemed to have the best info!
I will probably be a serial lurker, as is my nature. But thought I’d say hello
