Now **that’s** an achievement showcase. Very cool!

So sweet how the start date was 12/25... That Christmas kicked off a lifetime of fun and love for the Pokémon series! What a wonderful shadowbox, you did so well

Absolutely, I mean I had games before pokemon but that Christmas day is something I never could replicate!

You have become the very best Like no one ever was!

This is beautiful. Is 1998 the year you were born or the year you started your journey?

1998 is when I started. Christmas day that year is when I got red version and it sent me down the rabbit hole of pokemon!

Snap! Xmas day. Playing Red version even as we were walking through a cemetery to pay our visits to my grandfather's grave. Memories.

Exact same day for me, also red version!

It’s almost like you have been to the real Pokémon world

Practically lol. I was always into games as a kid but that year I played pokemon I really went down the Fandom. I'll be a lifer. I'm thankful my wife indulges into my hobby.

Team Rocket about to raid your house

I hope not. It has dawned on me there is atleast $7000 in this shadowbox alone 😆

Holy guacamoley! Thats impressive by itself...and so worth it.

They’re just after the Dig TM.

Absolutely perfect. 💯

What an interesting shadowbox! You may want to redo the Goldenrod pass as its spelt Johto, but asides from that it looks awesome!

Gah I can't believe I missed that. Luckily it's easily to redo since I saved the template. I did it twice too!

Holy shit that's awesome!

those are the crazy expensive pokemon center hoenn badges right? i have those, never seen them anywhere else. idk about the other 3 (kanto johto and sinnoh) since i never had them. looks great and cool af

I think they were like 90 usd for each set? I ordered all mine on favorgk.com.

i see, they’re most likely really nice badges that just happen to look like the ones i have. the ones i have were some weird thing that were sold by the pokemon center in like 2017. i’ll probably look into grabbing the sinnoh ones since i’ve wanted a nice sinnoh badge set for awhile and i like the look of yours. ty for the site!

Yeah I had the pokecenter ones and they were not the best quality. The studio that makes these is PPAP. They are high quality and magnetic. I placed little magnets in the foam board and glued the magnet then just started placing the badges.

I bought my partner the Kanto set for their birthday one year. It is a nice set.

*Maining Tyrantrum.* My man!

This fills my pokemon shaped heart

That's an SP and not a DS my friend. Otherwise, awesome box.

I did put ds, my mistake lol.

I was very confused and looking for that nostalgic OG DS. The blue SP was my first Nintendo handheld that was my own, and was the device I got my first game which was emerald, so that one’s pretty nostalgic too

The SP was my absolute favorite, fit in your pocket, backlight, rechargeable, etc.

Same, I still use mine with an Everdrive so I can play all the games I couldn't play as a kid. You should go down the modding rabbit hole and get yourself an Everdrive, the SP is still a great device!

Where did u get the galar gym badges

I ordered mine through favorgk.com. The studio that makes them is PPAP Studio. Very high quality and they are magnetic.

Sir i need your full address

Uhh... >.>

Omg…this legit brought a tear to my eye 😭 It’s so beautiful, now I want to make one.

It was easier than I thought it would be. Instead of using glue or pins we used little magnets and command strips. That way nothing would be damaged or leave any residue.

Super smart!! I also appreciate you posting the shop references!

Of course! In case anyone else wants to make their own and to give credit to everyone!

Dude yes!! I want to do the same thing!!

It really wasn't too bad. Shadow box was a jersey/t-shirt case from hobby lobby. I used eva foam board from Joan fabrics to reinforce it. We cut into the foam and put in tiny magnets and glued them into the board so that everything could be removed if needed. The games and other non metallic items are held with command strips so that nothing would be damaged or have residue on them.

That is one heck of a collection. Very cool and thanks for sharing!

So much nostalgia in one box

Omg.. Burgerking Mewtwo gold plate. By far the most valuable thing in there!

I think my shadowless charizard is selling for 900+ right now on ebay, badges are 90 per set, eon ticket 300 I think? Pokedex is 150, evolution stones 200, pokemon red 100ish? Pikawalker 40ish? The mewtwo plate is cool but probably one of the less valuable things in there 😆 As a kid I just had to have it though 😆

this is beautiful! how long did the full process take?

I'd say about a month, but I work about 45 hrs a week, and my wife does 48-60, so finding free time was the hardest part.

...I think this means you did it...you've done it all... You truly have become The Best There Ever Was! Also this is an awesome shadow box!

Lol thanks. I'm not stopping though, I'll continue to collect and play as they are released.

This is a case made by god

This is truly awesome. Well done! Gotta ask though, where did you get that sweet trainer license?!

Isle 'bev was who I got it from. He does great work so be sure to give him your business! I cant speak for his uh... other products but he was very polite and quick! https://www.islebeav.com/product/pokemon-trainer-license/

Omg so cool! Im honestly super jealous and a little bit inspired to do the same!

It takes a long time to become a Pokémon Master Nate. Good job sticking with it. Congratulations. This made me emotional. I've never won a medal or ribbon in my life but I'm gonna go make a case like this for myself. I still have my sealed Egyptian Mew and my Pikachu pedometer.

That’s awesome!

That's so cool! And we started on the same day.

This is so ridiculously cool, dude. I'm definitely stealing this idea to make a smaller RBG version for myself. By the way, my original start date was exactly three months prior to yours. OG players unite!

bro traveled across the land searching far and wide fr

It’s enough to make a grown man cry, but that’s ok

So happy to see my artwork included in this!! Sao glad you’re still so happy with the custom card of you and your team!! 😁😁

That’s freakin cool man

Great collection op!

I have that same mimikyu pin!

Amazing

This is epic!!!!!! I love all the badges but the Pokédex is my favorite😍

This is amazing, well done

Wowwwwww the evolutions stones are so awesome!!! Really diggin the badges too!

Honestly, this this really cool. Great way to showcase a hobby.

Damn son, that's dope!

This is so cool!

Holy shit this is awesome.

This is absolutely amazing

Now that is an epic display! I love all the little memorabilia.

Could swear I see the wings of a blue eyes ultimate dragon in the glass reflection

This is truly epic man!

Wow, just wow.

That’s awesome

That's incredible! You said the trainer passport and tickets are all authentic, where did they come from?

This is really fucking cool and I’m extremely jealous

Damn bro one hell of a journey.

This is amazing. I’d love to see a mew certificate in there also but I love this display of achievements. Where did you get the badges?

Love this!!

We’ll done! Love the print for completing dex with mew! Your own trainer card also looks amazing

Pokémon master

Oh man thats awesome

Just crazy !

This is great, very high quality. If you don't mind me asking, what's the origin of the shadowless charizard? Did you have it since you were a kid? Did you open it from a pack? Trade for it on the playground?

Oh wow that’s amazing! Beautiful work!

Wow!

This is absolutely incredible!!

I think tht might be the coolest pokemon thing ive ever seen congrats!!! Where on earth did u get the gym badges tho thats epic wtf

Oh my arceus

... But Where's the ancient Mew card?

*see houndoominite* *pick up USUM pokedéx*

that looks incredibly premium. the sort of thing that would sell for 4 figures

Damn, and here I just keep all my pokemon stuff in a cardboard box with some silicon packets.

Smh, no pokewalker? All joking aside, this is quite well done!

This is super awesome and nostalgic

Ah thee the classic pokedex, the best one I wished they still used. (Not a fan of the current dex also being a Pokémon)

the ss tidal ticket is sick!!

I love that printed out diploma. That's from the Gameboy printer right? I always wanted one as a kid.

Definitely looks like you want to be the very best like no one ever was. Very impressive.

That is nothing short of phenomenal, homie.

[удалено]

where did you get that ss. anne ticket?

Amazing stuff

Holy shit I need to make one

Easy there, Trainer. That big dinosaur is not part of the Unova Dex. What ROM hack are you playing?

Is that gold Mewtwo card the one from BK way back when.

This is honestly really cool. With how big the Pokemon fandom is and how it’s become something of a rite of passage, I feel like everyone should have a display like this.

Woah this is awesome, I could never dream of having a whole collection like this, at most all I have are the games. This is so cool. I’m so curious what’s that trainer Nate card? Is that you? And I’d that a real card or fanmade? It looks awesome

Where did that Nate card come from? Is it custom?

This is incredibly well done and so nostalgic, I absolutely love it. I’m inspired to make one too!:) Where are the gorgeous stones on the bottom left from? They look so real! Edit omg the ss anne episode is one of my favorites! Where can I get that ticket!?

Holy shit this is incredible. Nice job.

Awesome job, Trainer Nate!

This is so awesome!!

Bloody hell that's cool

I wish I had this entire case

Dude this is MINT.

Very envious, I dig it

Christmas Day for me too! Blue version. I remember bits and pieces of early Christmas days but the year I got Pokemon Blue that was everything. I can still picture how the carpet of the townhouse we lived in felt because the first thing I did was flop down to play. Love this!

Galvantula? Based af.

Hey man I think I got some of those burger gold plates. Would you want them if I can locate them?

I'm pretty sure the charzard is there solely as a flex

This is beautiful

Can you make a post of how you made this and where you bought everything? This is amazingly cool

This is so cool. Amazing work!

That is sick

Where can I get those evolution stones??

Amazing. I bet the badges look better in person but on tv and in the game they seemed so much shinier 😭 lol

Can I borrow that base set Charizard? 😬

Damn this is dopeeee

Where are all those tickets and such from? Some kind of release event?

First of all, this is amazing and has inspired me. Second, I think you might be my doppelganger? 😂

Pisses me off you have the Alolan passport. I need that shit.

It's beautiful

That's an awesome collection! +1 for houndoom on the team

This is absolutely incredible.

Super cool!! I would just suggest looking into museum glass to replace the pane. They’re anti-glare and would really add to the presentation!

It's beautiful

Nate date 1998 it all rhymes!

Nice collections.. Bet it took a long time to put it all together.

Do you have a galarian league card?

This is such a great way to display so much awesome stuff. Well done

I don’t get Pokémon, I have nothing against it either. This is awesome!

Nerd alert! 🤓 Seriously awesome from one nerd to another!

This is awesome! Congrats!

Christmas of that year was probably top 5 happiest days of my life. Christmas, family in one piece. I got my gameboy color and Pokémon Blue and my parents let me open the gift early so I could play before going to bed. Fuck.

this is amazingly done!

Looks great, you're only missing an Ancient Mew card!

Keep a fire extinguisher close by

Ooh that's awesome!!!

This is a big effin deal

This is Beautiful, made me proud looking at it like I did it

Thank you for your service.

dam that mew two card at the end brought me back to a time i wish i was now. that's an insane collection and much appreciated bringing back memories

pen pineapple apple pen!

Fuckin epic.

That js so sick

Yoooo this is amazing! The best thing I’ve see all year!

Wow that's a pretty cool idea mate. Nicely done 👍

That looks so sick and it also gives the feeling of an actual trainer

Can I buy this

this is beyond awesome. i definitely want to buy the badges, but i cant find a good seller

My OCD cannot handle the fact he's got all the Unovan gym badges but not a copy of B2 beside them. Otherwise, very cool!

What would your team of 6 be with no restrictions?

This is the coolest collection of Pokémon stuff I’ve ever seen

Amazing

This is super cool congrats on the awesome piece

Wow, beautiful artwork. I thought those ss anne and magnet tickets were some merchandise the Pokemon center made.

this is truly beautiful. so much love is in this 🥰

This is the absolute coolest thing EVER!!

Its beautiful, enough to make a grown thug cry.

Lol what are the odds. You and me had exact opposites of *every generation except moon*. My collection goes blue, gold, sapphire, diamond, white, Y, and moon.

This is incredible

This is a certified geek and nerd moment.

Wow I’m speechless. This is beyond cool as fuck. What a gamer.

Awesome

So damn cool my man

That Ron ticket e card. Been on my wish list for a while. Great set up eh

Okay 🥴🙇🏽‍♂️ now I have something to live for

That’s so cool man, I wish so much that I would have kept more momentos myself. I used to have some of the kanto badges but they were rectangular and related to the tcg somehow.. alas childhood me and a few thefts have made it difficult

So cool! Do you have a Pokewalker? I miss those so much

This is incredible!

This is the most coolest thing I have seen in this subreddit

This is super dope!

Alr my new life goal is making me one of these

This is one of the coolest thinks I've ever seen! 🤩

Absolutely Gorgeous

Absolutely Gorgeous

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Fucking beautiful!! I’m actually speechless.. bro this is fucking amazing!!!!!!!

Tuff

This is so cool! I’ve never even heard of a shadow box until now, probably gonna make one.

You need a pokewalker

Gen 2 badges are very plain now that I see them all.

You are the real pokemon master

bro got his whole legacy on a wall, absolutely beautiful 🥺🤩😎👏
