21 year old Lisa Courtney from Hertfordshire, UK, is celebrating being awarded the Guinness World Record for having the largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia. Lisa owns 12,113 different items which she has been collecting for over 13 years.
Lisa’s favourite item is a doll of the Pokémon Absol that she won on eBay. Her collection includes items from the UK, USA, France, and of course Japan. She has made several trips to Japan for the specific purpose of collecting Pokémon merchandise, each time sending between 8-12 boxes full back to the UK.
Interview with Lisa Courtney
On her collection…
LC: “My family have been incredibly supportive considering the collection takes up the whole house, including my mother’s room!”On her love for Pokémon…
LC: “I love the diversity of Pokémon. There’s such a wide range of different characters. There’s one for everyone.”On how Pokémon helped her get through a difficult stage on her life…
LC: “I was bullied at school. When I was upset I could just switch on a Pokémon game and it would take me away from everything. I’m now far happier in my life, but still, if I get upset, I can look at my Pokémon collection and it lifts me.On how it feels to be a Guinness World Record holder…
LC: “To have your passion recognised by Guinness World Records is an indescribably good feeling”On any items that she really wants to add to her collection…
LC: “The one item I really want is the life size Tyranitar plush toy. It was released in Pokémon centers in Japan and New York. Unfortunately these centres don’t ship to Europe, and because of the size of the plush toy eBay sellers are unwilling to ship it.”

Where is teh absol? If it’s her favorite, it should be in the picture.
I think he is a bit over the top i bet his parents or he would of spent alot of money on all that but if where does he put it all he cant leave it in his bedroom well he could if it was big but i think he gets it all and shoves it in his cupboard and keeps it locked and has to jam it tight
OMFG I SO JEALOUS! 8D
OMG!! that is a lot, the person has like 30 same charizard’s, when I collect I don’t collect the same plushy, I collect one of each, unless its my favorite Pokemon like Pikachu then yeah..
This is a huge collection, I dont’ think I’d get that large in my collection, I wouldn’t want to over pass my family of my son and my husband out of the house.. that is quite a bit of things though I must say!

WOW SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jealous!!!
ok this a little irrelevant but i thought id let people know this. Well what i want to say is im sueing those mongrels nintendo for causing pokemonworldonline.net to b closed down after 3yrs. The staff/team had spent so much time and money to try to provide players with an ever improving game. Seems Nintendo felt a lil threaten by a small lil group making a pokemon game. hah how pathetic are Nintendo lol. We all guna miss our lil game which was more than a game. It was like spending time with a second family.
R.I.P pokemonwrldonline.net 4eva in the hearts of all the players
if anybody feels like helping out by mayb making a petiton please do. Mayb we can convince nintendo to allow us to bring bak our game
