18,000,000+ toys, clothing, keychains, videogames (which I love playing), vehicles- ie:Pikachu Buggy, and the Lugia Buggy, Internet fan site, starting Pokemon Cosplay at various anime gatherings which happen at every major city (just look for people who look like characters from games, movies, etc. (it's fun stuff ^_^) you know... that sort of stuff ^_^
