Many people long to win the lottery and enjoy the much wealth. But for one woman, finding a job at the Pokemon Centre in Japan would be her dream to come true. Lisa Courtney, of Hertfordshire, has spent most of her life collecting Pokemon memorabilia of all shapes and sizes.
Indeed the 26-year-old has amassed so many during her 17-year hobby, and she now holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Pokemon items, having 25,000 of them spreading around the home she shares with her mother, Sharon.
“I just love Pokemon so much— there’s just something about it that brings joy to me every day,” said Lisa. Her hobby started at the age of nine when she saw a picture of the cartoon, Pikachu in a Nintendo magazine. Her collection has grown so large that her mother had to move from the largest to the smallest room in their house to make room for her toys.
Lisa made the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Pokemon memorabilia in 2009 when she had 12,113 items, but that hasn’t stopped her from collecting more. The devoted fan even travelled to Japan when the 11th Pokemon movie was released to get those that weren't available in Europe. “The first toy I ever got was one from Japan —my mother and grandmother ordered it from a mail order company before Pokemon hit the UK,” Lisa said.
