An American Pokemon maniac (32), calling herself “PikaBelleChu” and proclaiming herself a “PikaHolic”, has set some record or other, nightmarsihly festooning her domicile with Pokemon goods (specifically Pikachu) and going so far as to cosplay the creature obsessively.
She claims record worthiness and demands recognition for her collection of over 8,000 Pikachu goods. She even has an itasha.
Quoth the lady herself:
My name is Belle AKA.PikaBelleChu (Ash)///I am a Pika-Holic, I have over 8,000 collectables of the little guy and even owning one of the official Pokemon Pikachu Cars, I named PikaBug.
I love to cosplay as different characters and most well known for my Poke’Womon Princess Creations of which are copyrighted. Based like the Disney Princesses only with Pokemon.
I attend many anime conventions, car shows and do lots of events for children. Official Pokemon Events,Birthday parties, School events and so on mostly as the Pokemon Character Ash cause I can do his voice dead on.
I am also a cartoonist and paint many murals around my town and teach children art classes at a local craft store. I am also a big Disney nut and attend the parks whenever I can, I used to work for Disney playing the roles of Belle and Jasmine in the parks in the shows and other events in the parks.
Now I do alot of promotional things with Pokemon as there characters and my Poke’Womon Princesses… and one day I shall Catch Em’ All…
You can see her Guiness World Records page should you not be satisfied by this. Via Gigazine.
Common sense, and this case amongst others, suggests that however disturbing the obsessiveness of Japanese otaku may seem, whether in cosplay, collection, or plain terror inducement, they are nonetheless equalled by their overseas equivalents in all cases.

I have this sudden urge to set her entire collection on fire...
did she have her no in poke index?
#551 - belle (a ground-type pokemon)
Cool collection.
Gotta lol at her if she doesn't even know who Satoshi is..
I just love this! As a Pokémon collector myself, it looks like I've found someone to really look up to. xD
Whatever.
If she's happy with all that, I say go for it!
Specially if all that effort also translates into charity.
I say she is doing a lot more for society than most of us commenters.
I'd hit it
Bueno… si todos esos artículos la hacen feliz allá ella xD, pero puedo imaginar su reacción cuando a Pikachu lo hagan evolucionar en la serie (contra su voluntad) y …. el caos será grande xD
very colorful woman
she's a sane otaku
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Insane or not, I want her car.
I bet her boyfiend is a Psyduck psycho..
CANNOT UNSEE
I dunno about most of you guys, but she seems like a pretty awesome person.
I mean, yeah her obsession with Pikachu is a bit much, but at least she's having a blast with what she enjoys. She sure contributes to society a hell of a lot more than most Sancom users.
I agree...I mean plenty HERE are obsessed with cartoon porn. How many of us have THOUSANDS of pis and vids of hentai hmmmm? Many I bet. Judging someone like that some here have is stupid at best.
I'm frightened for this woman.
I hope Squirtle's top fan doesn't see this shit.
she needs a life or a boy friend that is just sad *sigh*
That IS her life. she makes money and get out of the house often enough to earn that money. Can the same be said for many in here?
Just because you don't like her life doesn't mean she doesn't have one.
It would only be sad if she only stayed indoors making judgmental comments about people she doesn't even know... oh wait. heh
get over your pathetic ego lol
I've seen her before... She was in an old issue of Nintendo Power in the fanmail section. (The top middle section on the first picture is what was shown in the magazine) LOL!
Sure my kind of girl, thats set a example on all otakus... i wonder if she would date me.
It's like looking into my best friends' future... ew....
Oh well, good for her. Atlest people always know what to buy her as presents?
That VW Beetle looks more like a traffic hazard than a street legal car.
Was that actually one of the official promtional cars that Nintendo drove to trade shows and stuff?
It looks a lot like the ones I saw in EGM way (way way) back when.
Pretty sure it is, my little brother had a remote controlled toy version of this thing.
Also agreed!
This is a good example of why I moved out of Florida.
I know who's not getting married.
i'd like to introduce her to chris "sonichu".
Lol! xD
Maybe she will, if she ever finds a male Pokemon fan as old as she is. xD
Or maybe cosplay as mudkip, i'm sure that mudkipz-loving guy will like her. xD
She looks fat
Just as fat as pikachu.
loool
probably lives with her parents still...
who else is going to pay for all her toys?
IT'S OVER 8000!
She's short a thousand :)
phail
yeah...but it still is :P
It almost makes me want to cry, but it's nice that she does something useful. Perfect type of "adult" to play with and teach children.
LOL who wants their children taught by that type of person?
Shut up.
All the millionaires are busy for some reason, so this, and the sex fiends, is what's left.
Either her, or pedobear...
even pedobear is scared of somethings
Wow i still remember the pikachu car from so long ago.
Pedomouse...
If you read the article, it seems she doesn't need to rely on parents for income. First off, she originally worked at Disney as one of the costumed princesses anyway, so this is just an extension with Pokemon. And, the more she collects and makes, the more she can use at parties and events. I think it's a fine if she can do something she's really interested in and can have fun while doing so.
AGHHH~~~!!! My eyes.... Seizures!!
I love pocket monsters... but this is too much... =_="
She has one of the Pikachu Bugs?!
As dorky as it would be to drive around town, I really want one!
I wonder if she owns any ero versions of pikachu XD
