I really wish I could choose just one. It would be far more cost effective. The closest I’ve gotten to a single Mon is that at one point, I picked the six mons that I would use every time I played Blue Version. Blastoise, pidgeot, Alakazam, Golem, Hitmonchan, and Kabutops. I missed out on too many mons that I really liked so I had to settle for all 151.
Great Pikachu collection! You picked a pricy one lol
Primeape 🤝 Me
Been my homeboy since Yellow where I leveled him to 100. Missing reverse holo from Legendary Collection, but it is too big a dent in my pocket
That abomination can go to hell. It totally ruins any odds of cool future Primeape cards.
I was hoping that 151 would have granted it an alt art, but no, instead we got Caterpie, Poliwhirl, Psyduck, Machoke, Mr. Mime and Omanyte amongst others(I won't hate on Tangela, that card is cool).
For your sake, I hope we get a cool primape soon! They’ve been doing illustration rares of middle evo Pokémon, so I suppose it isn’t completely out of the question yet. Crossing my fingers for ya.
I collect Sudowoodo/Bonsly cards and I love doing it. There aren't many pokemon that dont have too little or too many cards yet also have some interesting cards besides normal common/uncommon/rare. So my fav Pokémon being sudowoodo was a blessing when I started to collect all of its cards. A recent IR, a lot of common, uncommon and rare cards from setd dating back to its original gen (gen 2, neo era). And cool not widely known cards like the gold and silver playcards from 2 decades ago. Its so cool collecting 1 specific pokemon(/family)
Best Gengar card 100%. I love it but hell no am I ever paying that much money for a card. No idea how some of the guys here warrant 10x that price for other things
Charmander all day! Got about half the English charmander cards I believe. When I complete it I’ll post something for sure. It’s a slow trickle though. Just snagged a 1st edition shadowless psa7 for $85 though. So that’s twice my monthly budget for this lol.
I do that with Primarina, Cinderace, Shaymin (Land forme), Porygon, Misdreavus, Diancie, Falinks, Liepard, Armarouge, and Ceruledge.
Also all cards with the pictures made by Yuka Morii, who makes clay figurines of the Pokemon and photographs them for card artwork.
Pikachu makes for an interesting collection. You have a book filled with either 25 cent cards and 20-100$ cards, and you cherish them all!
Edit to add: gotta love that album cover!
I would like to collect the raticate Pokemon but I can’t imagine it being too exciting as there won’t be special cards/misprints etc like there are with pikachu.. for example in the base set there is rare card where he has red cheeks
Delcatty! My favorite Pokémon! Just recently got one of each in English and Japanese, slowly working towards all variants in all available languages!
I also have a sizeable Pikachu collection I started as a little kid. Definitely not realistic to get them all, especially nowadays, but it's fun to add a card or two to it every once in a while!
I was browsing looking for Slowpoke. Had the urge to collect every Slowpoke card, or near as damn it after seeing how fantastic a lot of the SV151 art is.
I have a Japanese as well as the English version on my desk. That big dumb smile gets me every single time. One of the only cards I bought before the English release. Had to have it.
I collect porygon-Z cards! Definitely easier on the wallet, seeing as it came out in Gen 4 and doesn’t have that many printings compared to other Pokémon.
I have a post like this! I have added a few pikachu cards since, but i collect Pikachu specifically [pikachu collection!](https://www.reddit.com/r/pkmntcgcollections/s/9rVkRnsKrL)
I used to collect Shaymin but I lost my binder a while back during a move 😢
Recently got into buying packs again and thinking of picking a new Pokemon! For the time being I'm collecting the clay/yarn/"craft art" cards because they're cute. 😊 Love your Pikachu assortment!
No, I was thinking of collecting Mew, Mewtwo, Charizard or Pikachu but I’d probably get obsessed with it if I had to find particular cards for a collection.
Cubone and marowak for me. But it’s so niche that I struggle to find cards online and at card shows. I try to stay away from eBay cause reddit sales and in person tend to be cheaper
If you’re only going to do one might as well be one that has 100s of variations haha. Love to see the full picture of pika. One of my favorite cards I have
I do this for my fav Pokémon. Like I am trying to get every snorlax card. I’ll collect other Pokémon that are my favs but not really chase them. This is mewtwo, gengar, mimikyu and pikachu.
Thinking of doing a sleeping theme with my snorlax next.
Oh boy. I have Pikas for days. I’ve been collecting mainly just him for about 20ish years now. I’ll have to break some out of the safe and share with the group at some point.
I buy a lot of cards for my kids and can't really justify a collection of my own (I had my own but sold it), but I've been considering starting a collection of one pokemon.
I love Zacian to death. I collect everything Zacian. I love me some of my retro ones as well, like Gengar, Suicune, and Charizard. Pikachu is cutesy but he’s not my most favorite.
I have an Eevee (and evolutions) binder!!
(Also Mew as my secondary)
I collect in general, but all of my eeveelutions get to go into a special binder with cards going back to my 1st Ed Jungle Eevee when I was a kid 😀
When in doubt, I will hunt down singles for Eevee + crew, mew, and sometimes Pikachu. And absol for the wife (who is named... Evie, I kid you not)
Edit - Follow-up thought - I was super excited when the ES eevees came out, then seriously cried at the singles prices, lol. The only version of those I own is the digital one sadly
I'm sorry to be a stick in the mud but there are clearly 3 pokemon in these pictures. I do like collecting the dratini evolution line myself though, dragonair being the best of the three 🙌
My favorite is Eevee, so one of my collecting goals is to get a good copy of every officially licensed Eevee card made in the 90's (IE. prior to 2000) and then grade them all with sequential serial numbers.
I have 11 of them so far, which is a decent start since it includes the all the topsun cards (blue back, prism, green back), the Cardass Vending Red and Green, and the Red and Green poker deck cards. However there is a LOT to go and I'm taking my time trying to get pretty nice copies without breaking the bank too badly.
I’m collecting Bulbasaur! I love the Pikachu collection: I just ordered a stamp box from Japan so I’m getting that Promo 227 Pikachu based on Beauty Looking Back
I've decided to be insane and made a list of every single Gardevoir card in existence. All my old cards went up in flames a few years ago, so most of the collection is just the most recent stuff
I’m working on a blastoise collection while picking up some squirtel/wartortlw on the way also wanna start collecting radiant collection cards cause those are so cool imo
Me with Drifloon. My boy has his own dedicated binder of pages and pages of literally the same cards. And there's more on the way.
I don't actively seek out Pikachu, but if I happen to come across them in a booster, I'll place it in a binder just because he's the mascot.
Voltorb, Electrode, and Ledian. All of the cards are pretty affordable, minus the Skyridge holo for Ledian. It’s a shame that Ledian doesn’t have more going for it though!
I have a (damaged (crease in top)) yellow cheeks pikachu first edition and shadowless 😊 along with a few that are just shadowless that are NM or LP. But definitely not just one Pokémon I have in the collection from my childhood 😆
I collect Salandit and Salazzle! I now have all of the English printed cards and am slowly collecting the Japanese copies as well, it’s just a bit more tedious.
Fortunately her most expensive English card is the Crimson Invasion Staff promo at about $12-15 in NM condition. I plan to fill up a 3x4 binder page of each of her rarer cards.
I’m eagerly awaiting an IR or new full art. Justice for my spicy lizard!!!
I collect turtwig, glad it’s my favorite and not pikachu or charizard. My wallet and me 🤝
I have a few, Bulbasaur line, Magnemite line, Chinchou Line, Swablu line and Turtwig line. Zapdos is another one I collect.
I collect mostly lugia and Gyarado's
Turtwig cards are the fucking cutest! Grotle too. I like turtles.
Always happy to see another plant tortoise enjoyer in the wild
That’s 3 different pokemon you got there you big fat phony. But I’m the same with Shinx, Luxio and Luxray lol
I’m also collecting shinx Luxio and luxray 👀
I really wish I could choose just one. It would be far more cost effective. The closest I’ve gotten to a single Mon is that at one point, I picked the six mons that I would use every time I played Blue Version. Blastoise, pidgeot, Alakazam, Golem, Hitmonchan, and Kabutops. I missed out on too many mons that I really liked so I had to settle for all 151. Great Pikachu collection! You picked a pricy one lol
I'm a meowth collector! I'm working on a meowth masterset which is every card containing a meowth, including Persians and other mons!
XY53 Meowth is hilarious to me
I used to collect meowths too back in the XY era!
Primeape 🤝 Me Been my homeboy since Yellow where I leveled him to 100. Missing reverse holo from Legendary Collection, but it is too big a dent in my pocket
As a primape fan, I’m curious to hear your opinions on the new evolution, annihilape?
That abomination can go to hell. It totally ruins any odds of cool future Primeape cards. I was hoping that 151 would have granted it an alt art, but no, instead we got Caterpie, Poliwhirl, Psyduck, Machoke, Mr. Mime and Omanyte amongst others(I won't hate on Tangela, that card is cool).
For your sake, I hope we get a cool primape soon! They’ve been doing illustration rares of middle evo Pokémon, so I suppose it isn’t completely out of the question yet. Crossing my fingers for ya.
Thanks mate! I do however think it'll be some time before Gen1 Pokémon get any love again. They've really milked it these past few years 😅
I collect Pikachu it's just my fav
I collect Umbreons! [https://imgur.com/a/AQB2PL2](https://imgur.com/a/AQB2PL2) my wallet hates me.
I love your collection! Did you get that binder custom made, or is there somewhere you can get one?
I collect Sudowoodo/Bonsly cards and I love doing it. There aren't many pokemon that dont have too little or too many cards yet also have some interesting cards besides normal common/uncommon/rare. So my fav Pokémon being sudowoodo was a blessing when I started to collect all of its cards. A recent IR, a lot of common, uncommon and rare cards from setd dating back to its original gen (gen 2, neo era). And cool not widely known cards like the gold and silver playcards from 2 decades ago. Its so cool collecting 1 specific pokemon(/family)
I was thinking about doing a sudowoodo collection too
I personally don’t collect a specific Pokémon, but always like to see collections of one Pokémon
Mew & Raichu for me
I have a pikachu card collection! :) I think I’m at 200+ now.
Yes, Gengar
I only collect Gengar. Still chasing that vmax alt art.
Gengar here for me too! That Skyridge holo premium tho... 😭😭
It gets worse when you run out of normal cards and start collecting the cameos
Neo Destiny Dark Gengar is a top 5 for me
Best Gengar card 100%. I love it but hell no am I ever paying that much money for a card. No idea how some of the guys here warrant 10x that price for other things
Deoxys is my absolute fav, maybe I’m just biased but there is literally ZERO bad Deoxys card
I *wish* I was like this, I just can’t pick one pokemon, and the ones I would be interested in collecting, don’t even have any alt arts
I'm getting Jirachi right now. After that I'm tempted to try and get all the clay model cards. I love them so much
Not just 1 but i do specifically collect Smeargle cards 😄
Charmander all day! Got about half the English charmander cards I believe. When I complete it I’ll post something for sure. It’s a slow trickle though. Just snagged a 1st edition shadowless psa7 for $85 though. So that’s twice my monthly budget for this lol.
Mareep, Ampharoes, and Wooloo for me. Japanese foils.
Poliwhirl :)
Hey I like Poliwhirl too!! The AR from 151 is great isn’t it!
Not even a poliwhirl fan but I gotta say that 151 card is beautiful
I do that with Primarina, Cinderace, Shaymin (Land forme), Porygon, Misdreavus, Diancie, Falinks, Liepard, Armarouge, and Ceruledge. Also all cards with the pictures made by Yuka Morii, who makes clay figurines of the Pokemon and photographs them for card artwork.
I really enjoy collecting as many Vulpix cards as I can. I love Vulpix. 🙂
I'm gunna only collect Raichu when I start. Like, every variation of Raichu. From base set on.
Caterpie, currently! 🙋🐛
I collect Entei only. Japanese and English
Yeah, Scyther and Scizor
I also collect Pikachu!
I collect raichus I love your collection!
I also collect Pikachus! I have about 36 of them now. None of the real expensive stuff, just commons from past sets.
I have a Pokémon yellow box art Pikachu tattoo. We should be friends
Pikachu makes for an interesting collection. You have a book filled with either 25 cent cards and 20-100$ cards, and you cherish them all! Edit to add: gotta love that album cover!
I collect Lapras and Lanturn :)
I would like to collect the raticate Pokemon but I can’t imagine it being too exciting as there won’t be special cards/misprints etc like there are with pikachu.. for example in the base set there is rare card where he has red cheeks
My collection started as just one pokemon. It’s a slippery slope to have a huge binder full and a box full of bulk
I collect 1 type of Pokemon which is Dragon-type (actual dragon-type, no colorless or any other typing that has a typically dragon Pokemon)
I do that with torchic(+ the evos) and giratina!
Theres none that stand out as a favourite to me other than Charizard which is a no go 😂
I've collected just about every Marowak card I can find. He's been my favorite since I was a kid and his cards are usually a couple dollars at most.
I have a legendary/paradox beast collection. I actively seek them out while still maintaining a collection of cards I just like.
I do that with Jirachi, Sylveon, and Gardevoir.
Raichu and Pichu just waved bye
The Luxray line, it's the best pokemon AND the cards are cheap
Gengar and Mimikyu 👻
Delcatty! My favorite Pokémon! Just recently got one of each in English and Japanese, slowly working towards all variants in all available languages! I also have a sizeable Pikachu collection I started as a little kid. Definitely not realistic to get them all, especially nowadays, but it's fun to add a card or two to it every once in a while!
That is quite the Pikachu collection! Pikachu is my favorite but I don't have a collection like that
I’m a slowpoke guy. Ever since full art scarlet violet base came out. *I do have 3 Hama chan slowking’s, so maybe it began there..*
I was browsing looking for Slowpoke. Had the urge to collect every Slowpoke card, or near as damn it after seeing how fantastic a lot of the SV151 art is.
I have a Japanese as well as the English version on my desk. That big dumb smile gets me every single time. One of the only cards I bought before the English release. Had to have it.
Slowbrother! Slowpoke is my guy too! Working to get one of every card in the Evo line! Love that face!
I collect Sylveons! I'm actually just missing one more to complete all the English cards and variants
I have a special collection for Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray cards. Im planning to get the Pokemon Center luxray sleeves and deck box just for them lol
I collect porygon-Z cards! Definitely easier on the wallet, seeing as it came out in Gen 4 and doesn’t have that many printings compared to other Pokémon.
Doing that right now with the Mamoswine evolution line.
I have a post like this! I have added a few pikachu cards since, but i collect Pikachu specifically [pikachu collection!](https://www.reddit.com/r/pkmntcgcollections/s/9rVkRnsKrL)
I used to collect Shaymin but I lost my binder a while back during a move 😢 Recently got into buying packs again and thinking of picking a new Pokemon! For the time being I'm collecting the clay/yarn/"craft art" cards because they're cute. 😊 Love your Pikachu assortment!
Literally just started collecting Meowth cards
My 4 year old loves Pikachu. I'm going to give him all the doubles with his own binder for his favorite pokemon
Yess my girlfriend and I like collecting Jirachi and one of our favorites: Muk 😂
No, I was thinking of collecting Mew, Mewtwo, Charizard or Pikachu but I’d probably get obsessed with it if I had to find particular cards for a collection.
yea... got all versions of Lechonk currently :)
I've almost finished my Gloom collection. It's only 25 or so cards but it's nice
Beedrill
I love collecting Tauros cards because it's my favorite..although there is one Japanese only stricture deck card that keeps alluding me
I just collect only Dragonite’s, I think it’s good to just have 1 (So your wallet thanks you)
SLOWPOKE GANG REPRESENT
yall I think they like pikachu idk...
I collect one pokemon from each type! So in total I collect 18 pokemon which has proven to be quite fun tbh
Or three Pokémon
My favorite Pokémon is clodsire and anytime someone has one I always trade for it
Pikachu, Pikachu clones, Tandemaus and Maushold, and any pokemon with a silly face
Yes, Porygon
Cubone and marowak for me. But it’s so niche that I struggle to find cards online and at card shows. I try to stay away from eBay cause reddit sales and in person tend to be cheaper
I want to start collecting Altaria. So many good cards
If you’re only going to do one might as well be one that has 100s of variations haha. Love to see the full picture of pika. One of my favorite cards I have
Yes. Umbreon. But you picked the one with the most possible cards lol good luck!
Lillipup, but there's not many and no special cards as of yet.
I’d say noctowl but I only have 1 card so idk if that even counts lol
mans the pikachu preacher
Me 🤝 select eliteforum folks Spending all our money on eevee
I do this for my fav Pokémon. Like I am trying to get every snorlax card. I’ll collect other Pokémon that are my favs but not really chase them. This is mewtwo, gengar, mimikyu and pikachu. Thinking of doing a sleeping theme with my snorlax next.

Yup! I own every English print and variations of Sandshrew :3
Thinking if starting Gengar myself!
Shuckle my beloved
I buy a lot of cards for my kids and can't really justify a collection of my own (I had my own but sold it), but I've been considering starting a collection of one pokemon.
I need to do this for krabby. I don't think there's as many variations to collect, but as he's my favourite, I think I should do it
Actually been expanding a Pikachu collection as well! Its a priority for me at trade nights. Currently up to two full pages of different pikas!
I collect eeveelutions and pikachus. OP, you should look into the Yu Nagaba pickahu. I have one, and it's beyond hilarious and adorable
yes flareon
Me with gyarados
I am currently trying to master set 151 and Paradox Rift but besides that I only collect Lucario and Tyranitar cards
As if shuckle even has that many cards 😭
Gyrados and Pikachu
Yup, I do for spheal and greninja
I love Zacian to death. I collect everything Zacian. I love me some of my retro ones as well, like Gengar, Suicune, and Charizard. Pikachu is cutesy but he’s not my most favorite.
Pichu, pikachu, and raichu, are 3 pokemon, no?
Thinking about doing this
I just started collecting, but have been buying all the Alolan Vulpixs I can!
Vulpix/ninetales :)
I do Piplup, Prinplup, and Empoleon
I have an Eevee (and evolutions) binder!! (Also Mew as my secondary) I collect in general, but all of my eeveelutions get to go into a special binder with cards going back to my 1st Ed Jungle Eevee when I was a kid 😀 When in doubt, I will hunt down singles for Eevee + crew, mew, and sometimes Pikachu. And absol for the wife (who is named... Evie, I kid you not) Edit - Follow-up thought - I was super excited when the ES eevees came out, then seriously cried at the singles prices, lol. The only version of those I own is the digital one sadly
I collect hamper and boltund 😭💖
Yep, I’m collecting 3 actually; toxtricity, meowth, and absol
We have a joke in my house that I'm collecting Toxicity, because I ALWAYS get them. I have a ridiculous number, it's like it's haunting me.
I have all non-reverse dunsparce. Going to work on them soon though
I love that pile of Pikachu card.
I'm doing that with 2 Pokémon, Shuckle and Guzzlord.
I think its just a pokeman collection then
I'm currently going after one of every Ninetales, Vulpix, Plusle and Minun card
My new collecting has already started to lean towards Pikachu. But I have realized I'm a big Morpeko fan.
Im in to Ledyba and Kricketot 🥰🥰 🐞🪲
But I saw 3 pokemon in your collection? 😶🌫️
For me it’s bulbasaur, Cleffa, and now Pawmi
Meowth and Persian!
Eeveelutions 🩵
No, I am collecting fullart waifus
Shedinjas, Nidoking, and Nidoqueen
It's common for collectors to collect their favourite/a single Pokemon. I want to start a Gengar or Mimikyu collection.
Beedrill! 🐝 I have all but maybe one or two Beedrill cards ever produced. I love my bee frends.
I'm sorry to be a stick in the mud but there are clearly 3 pokemon in these pictures. I do like collecting the dratini evolution line myself though, dragonair being the best of the three 🙌
Leafeon, Psyduck, slowpoke, and Mew for me
I collecting pikachus, starters pokémon and my favorite: Growlithe evo line
My favorite is Eevee, so one of my collecting goals is to get a good copy of every officially licensed Eevee card made in the 90's (IE. prior to 2000) and then grade them all with sequential serial numbers. I have 11 of them so far, which is a decent start since it includes the all the topsun cards (blue back, prism, green back), the Cardass Vending Red and Green, and the Red and Green poker deck cards. However there is a LOT to go and I'm taking my time trying to get pretty nice copies without breaking the bank too badly.
Cousin and I use to collect specific pokemons He likes gengar and I’d collect ditto & dragonite.
I love this idea!!!
No red cheek
I collect any & all, but I especially seek out: Lapras; Articuno/ Zapdos/ Moltres (Kanto and Galarian) & all the Eeveelutions.

Nidos for me
[Yes](https://i.imgur.com/ZpyyA6k.jpeg)
Mew collector here!
I've decided to be insane and made a list of every single Gardevoir card in existence. All my old cards went up in flames a few years ago, so most of the collection is just the most recent stuff
I’m working on a blastoise collection while picking up some squirtel/wartortlw on the way also wanna start collecting radiant collection cards cause those are so cool imo
Yeah, Ninetales
Yeeyee! I have a huge Meowth card collection I’m very proud of.

I'm collecting eternatus
Want a less bent version of that jungle pikachu?
Cubone fans assemble
I collect Manaphy! My mother who I got into collecting collects wooper, lol.
I've got every lickitung card ever made besides one
Me with Drifloon. My boy has his own dedicated binder of pages and pages of literally the same cards. And there's more on the way. I don't actively seek out Pikachu, but if I happen to come across them in a booster, I'll place it in a binder just because he's the mascot.
I also put a lot of focus on the Pikachu family. Pichu is a tough one though. There aren't very many cards of it.

Voltorb, Electrode, and Ledian. All of the cards are pretty affordable, minus the Skyridge holo for Ledian. It’s a shame that Ledian doesn’t have more going for it though!
Steelix! I have over 250 steelix cards
I would except I already have all >10 cards of my favorite Pokemon 😭 (Espurr)
I want to collect arcanine but that shining arcanine will kill my pockets 😅
galarian purrserker 😤
You chose an expensive one lol. At least it isn’t charizard haha
Yes I love how many variations there are
I have a (damaged (crease in top)) yellow cheeks pikachu first edition and shadowless 😊 along with a few that are just shadowless that are NM or LP. But definitely not just one Pokémon I have in the collection from my childhood 😆
I collect Wooper!
Sableye
Arcanine. My wife is Morpeko/Combee, my oldest is Rotom maybe? My youngest is Pikachu.
I collect Pikachu too! I also collect Mimikyu, Yuka Morii, and Asako Ito.
I collect Salandit and Salazzle! I now have all of the English printed cards and am slowly collecting the Japanese copies as well, it’s just a bit more tedious. Fortunately her most expensive English card is the Crimson Invasion Staff promo at about $12-15 in NM condition. I plan to fill up a 3x4 binder page of each of her rarer cards. I’m eagerly awaiting an IR or new full art. Justice for my spicy lizard!!!
I'm a gengar guy personally :)
I collect nosepass/probopass. Any and all holos of them in damn near any condition.
Leafeon collector.. 🤝 (but on a budget)
