The title of world’s most obsessive Pokémon collector ever has been seized by a British lady.
Guiness have officially acknowledged Lisa Courtney as the world record holder for Pokémon amassment, with 12,113 articles amassed over 13 years.
She speaks of the trials of obsession:
“My family have been incredibly supportive considering the collection takes up the whole house, including my mother’s room!
I’ve even named the room where my main collection resides ‘Pokémon Centre Europe!’
To be in the new Gamer’s Edition and to hold a world record for something you feel so passionate about is just an indescribable feeling.”
The previous contender, an American lady with 8,000 Pikachu collectibles, seems to have her work cut out if she wishes to regain her dubious yellow crown, though she does still have a Pikachu car:

Crazy western woman. It's just a kids game!
Indeed
It was collected over 13 years. She started going maniac 13 years ago, when she was a kid...
She so fucking likes mudkips!!!
I had no clue it was a woman from the preview picture. In fact, I think this was a mistake. I call for this article to be fixed.
does she also hold the record for most pokemon-related beatings a kid got in school?
it's like she's just a magnet for school bullies with a record like that
She was bullied for having a malformed arm and started collecting them because it would cheer her up when she got home.
pokemon = for retards (no kidding!)
Worst than harry potter shit!
so Guinness heard she lieked mudkips... and she now has a world record for it...
what kills me is the "mental illness" tag. hilarious XD
better than twilight
I like how one of the recommended related articles offered up by the site is "Japanese Suicides Reach Record Levels".
Kind of fitting.
Hmm, You are mistaken, Pokemon now is shit, but back in the day, pokemon was awesome, nuff said. There was one point when almost everyone in the world had something pokemon related, good child memories.
still a fun game though...
Still indeed the above though... Collect real mens toy! Like figurines for example. That's... Manly.
As manly as can be. Touhou figurines! And tea.
Don't judge by looks. The setting indeed is childish, but the game itself is a good RPG with great strategic multiplay mode (and much more).
This form of money spending obsession, however, isn't really healthy.
Isn't that otaku?
And the main Pokémon games are good with either bad or good graphics. Game mechanics is the series' best. ;-)
yea, bet i know what the doctors of those ladies sing all day long
"gotta catch em,
gotta catch em all...
BRAIN TUMORS!"
Doesn't take away the fact that it's "just" a game, and that this may be too far for some people.
almost as bad as world of warcrack.
I know, right? Stupid otaku obsessing over cartoons, what a waste of time.
Oh wait...
who the fuck are you calling stupid?
looks like that comment was directed at all the sancon lurkers
hey, lurkers will fuck you up. all you need is a hydralisk den and a good ckoke point.
do not want (the girl)
do want (the car)
I'd rather have a Golf GTI than that beetle...
Wouldn't you rather have a RWD car and not some FWD POS Golf?
Ya, I was just making a fair comparison, now that you mention it...
FWD may be POS compared to RWD, but no one talks shit about Golf!
If that was my daughter I'd be sure to hit her
Should be collecting Digimon merchandise!!!
Hit her for being ugly, tho the American woman is worse. Look at that face!
oh you ignorant muggle..
Lamest Otaku Ever.
Agreed.
Yea... And nothing screams more "I'm not lame" than your avatar xD
Just looking at it from different perspective ^^
Thanks :D
so i heard u liek mudkipz?
She does. She's got a couple of them :)
....seriously. That's a lot of Pikachu.
Wait... Is that a Girl?
Apparently it's 21 years old and indeed female... o.O;
yes, my pokedex just confirmed that. ha ha. i know i fail...
i lold
I was about to ask the same thing XD
spend my money in pokemon merchandising shooooout
And nothing of value was spawned.
The expression on that pikachu's face she is holding pretty much sums up my reaction.
what a faggy car
~ahhhh~ sooo many I think I'm in love 0.0
So... FOR MEN... is this a test for marriage material in women?
Women can check our computer for porn... but what about all this Pokeporn?
Makes me wonder.
funny thing is, there actually is pokeporn. but thats what i love about porn. it doesnt discriminate. theres something for everyone!
I want that room
You're a fucking retard then.
It's the Poke-fuck room! So soft and comfy.
"Lie down here, baby, and let me take your clothes off. I wanna take a Piccachu." (peek-at-you ha-ha...)
I lold
