The title should be fairly self-explanatory - let us know which plushes, posters, books, games, cards and more take pride of place in your collection! Photos encouraged to make other users jealous.
I've a few bits and pieces preserved from the 90s Pokémania, including the original Monopoly, but by far my most treasured are the Official Pokémon Handbook (so retro it doesn't even have Mew) and a solid double-page spread of Base Set, Jungle, Fossil and Rocket shinies:
Given that I didn't actually play the games until some time after the release of GS, these were my connection to the franchise - especially the handbook. The art was so vivid and there were just so many species to flick through (150 was a lot to a young mind!). It's fun to look back through it and spot the instances of duff information - Starmie apparently gets slower when it evolves, and Exeggutor apparently becomes worse at battling, despite arguably being the best non-legendary, non-Normal Pokémon in the game!
