World's largest collection of Pokemon Memorabilia

When a bullied schoolgirl turned to collecting Pokémon for comfort, she couldn’t have known that 12 years later she would be a record breaker. Lisa Courtney has the world's largest collection of Pokémon Memorabilia. Her collection boasts more than 13,000 different pieces of Pokémon merchandise – including her favorite character, Absol. She celebrated the Guinness World Record award and her 21st birthday in Japan, the birthplace of Pokémon. ‘It has just made everything I’ve done so worthwhile – I was so proud and I’m so thrilled’ said Ms Courtney, from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. link
