GENERATION V POKéMON COLLECTION
Yes, I admit it. Generation V is my favorite generation to date. Well, I loved Black and White. Their sequels... not so much.
I am not ashamed of that fact. The truth is, I loved these games for what they did. Unlike Generation III where there was no knowledge if the series was being rebooted or not, we knew by this time that they were not going to reboot the series because the games were obviously backwards compatible with the Generation IV games. Yes, they forced us to use the newer Pokémon of the generation, but you know what? I'd rather play with newer Pokémon in a NEW Pokémon game than play with something I am already familiar with. That is what the post game is for. Generation VI kind of screws with this but that's a story for another page.
The designs of these guys are not too shabby, either! They don't feel like they are out to steal the thunder of previously released Pokémon. They really made the games what they were. They define the Unova region and what made it a great and fun region to play through, and that is what I liked. Yes, these games were not innovative in the slightest, but hey, they're fun.
Who are the main Pokémon I collect from my all-time favorite generation in this franchise? Take a look!

#498 Tepig, # 499 Pignite, and # 500 Emboar
Japanese names: ポカブ (Pokabu), チャオブー (Chaoboo), エンブオー (Enbuoh)
When I decided to collect the fire pigs, I always had a voice in the back of my head telling me "What the hell have you gotten yourself into, you idiot?!" It's kind of true. I mean, they're starters! Especially in Tepig's case and the promotion of the Generation V games, there was going to be a lot of stuff coming out and it was going to be overwhelming! I tried to convince myself that I didn't like them enough to collect them. That didn't quite go as planned. I love these guys so much that I caved and eventually started collecting them furiously. What can I say? They're adorable!
It actually did get a little overwhelming, especially since they started promoting Charizard items again! This has taught me a couple of valuable lessons as a collector of Pokémon merchandise:
1.) Don't collect an entire line of starters in the future, and...
2.) ...if I do collect an entire line of starters, I shouldn't expect to finish it right away. I should also make sure I have a secure high-paying job to pull it off.
I am not expecting to finish my fire porcine collection anytime soon, but oh well. I like them too much to do a weeding sale or have them as a side collection.

Tepig Pokédoll
This was a gift from minhimalism during Pkmncollector's secret valentine exchange in 2012. Thank you, love! You don't know how much you have made this lioness happy!

Tepig American Pokémon Center Plush
I stupidly, STUPIDLY ripped off the tag when I was trying to remove it from the card protector that was used to protect it during its mail transit! Ever since then I use scissors to cut the tape and remove the tag slowly. I still have the tag and it is stored away for safe keeping.
I would love to have the Japanese plush! While the two plush are identical, the Japanese tag looks so much cuter!

Tepig Sleeping New Year Plush
Probably my favorite Tepig plush! I managed to get this adorable little thing when she was fresh out of the Pokémon Centers in early 2012! Nowadays you have to pay twice as much just to get one, and they're big so shipping will cost a hefty price, as well. She is the mama pig to all my little piglets! I have them all on top of her to make them look like her litter of baby pigs!

Tepig Canvas Plush
This has to be my second favorite plush! He just looks so cute! He kept face planting when I tried to have him on his four legs so I set him up on his hind legs to take the photo. He looks so cute in that position!

Tepig American Tomy Plush
I am so glad this got an American release! I like the happy expressions of the Japanese plush much more than the angry looking ones made by Jakks.
I am not in a hurry to get the Japanese plush, but I still plan on getting it in the future. The shiny plush is a huge want!

A cute little keychain for good measure! This was never released in my Toys R Us. My friend and partner-in-crime, syminka, went to the New York Toys R Us and picked this little guy up for me. What a pal!

Every single Generation V Pokémon had MPC plushes made of them! They are really small, but well-made keychain plushes that could only be obtained through UFO machines and I really hope they do this for all the Pokémon from previous generations!

Tepig DX Big-Headed Plush
This big dope! He is always, without fail, face planting! He was propped up for this picture and right now he is back in his display area. Guess what he is doing now? Yup.

Tepig Jakks Plush
One of the things I was never too keen on was that in order to appeal to the American market of kids (mainly boys, for some weird reason), they would make certain Pokémon more aggressive-looking, and I didn't like that. I love Tepig with the more docile look.
Here is an angry-looking Tepig for us Americans with obvious aggression issues.

Tepig Jakks Reversible Poké Ball Plush
This Tepig looks like he has evil thoughts going through his mind. Really Jakks? What's the big deal about making Tepig so... mean-looking?
Anyways, you can turn him inside-out to make him into a Poké Ball.

This is a nice and cute plush! The material is very soft and he is not derpy in any way! My only criticism of it is that I wish the brown parts of his body were darker. He would have been perfect if they did that!

Emboar Pokémon Center Plush
I won this guy from a group auction on Pkmncollectors. The unfortunate thing was that when the host of the group auction received the plush, they reeked of paint thinners! She managed to get most of the smell off him but he still had a little bit of the smell when I got him in the mail. It's been months and he no longer smells like nail-polish remover so I am happy about that! That smell gives me a terrible headache.

Emboar DX UFO Plush
This guy is BIG! He is about as big as the Pokémon Center plush, and that's pretty big! I was actually expecting him to be a little smaller, and it's rare when I expect something to be smaller come out bigger! Bigger isn't always better, and he is so big I have him riding my DX big-headed Tepig who loves to face plant. What a site!

Figures

Tepig-line Zukan Figures
I'm sorry, but I don't have a lot of nice things to say about this Zukan.
I really hate how they made this line. In particular, those stupid supporters used to keep Emboar on his feet. It was a pain to set up! Whatever happend to using pegs, Tomy? The paint job isn't the worst but it isn't the best, either. I should be thankful this line even got a Zukan as a lot of the Pokémon in Generation V got gypped out of one, but if they aren't going to even try and make something of good quality, why make it in the first place?
I'm sorry for sounding so negative, it's just that I am really disappointed with this one.

Tepig-line American Tomy Figures
I really wish Tomy had gotten the license to release their products in the US a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of money. The figures here and the Japanese figures are the same thing. The only difference is that the Japanese figures come with a base, but I really don't care for the bases. They are big, ugly, and take up a lot of room so I don't even like to deal with them.
**As of 2014, never mind what I said about me saving money with Tomy distributing their toys in the US. They are pretty horrible when it comes to distribution and prices.

Tepig-line Plamo Figures
I apologize in advance, but I am going to complain again.
I HATE Plamo figures! They wouldn't be so bad if they didn't need to use those crappy stickers, but no, the stickers they make you use are terrible! They lose their adhesiveness very quickly and they are constantly peeling off! It's a real pain but the figures need the stickers otherwise they would look awful without them. Plamo figures would probably be a joy to own if you know how to paint the details into the models instead of relying on those damn stickers, but since I am not very good with a paint brush to begin with, I think I would ruin them even more than using the stickers. I should have never assembled them and just left them MIB.
Now for the information on these models, because why not? The word Plamo is a combination of the words (Pla)y or (Pla)stic (Mo)del. All Pokémon Plamo figure lines come with a Pikachu model because the little ham just has to insert himself into everything. In all seriousness, I think Pikachu is there as a tutorial figure and allows beginners to set him up before they get to the main line on the package. He was the easiest to assemble and in a horrible display of irony, his stickers are the least crappy and don't fall off as easily. Then again, they aren't as big as you see on Emboar, so maybe that's a moot point.

The attacking Tepigs can get away with the angry look. They're attacking! Bandai also balances attack kids out with regular, happy-looking kids, something Jakks didn't do with their plush.

Tepig Jakks Figure
I've had this for the longest time mint in package. I didn't want to have to deal with the leftover figures in this set.
Why can't US toy distributors take a lesson from Japan and just sell these toys with one character apiece? No extra Pokémon that are unrelated to each other; just one Pokémon per package. This little guy came with Pidove, and I already have two of those damn birds because it also came with another Jakks package I wanted!
I have him propped up on his hind legs because he keeps faceplanting. Why do Tepigs love to faceplant?

Tepig Vs. Pikachu Attack Motion Diorama Figure
This is actually a very good diorama and the two combatants look like they really want to go at it, unlike the Charizard vs. Blastoise diorama where those two look like they are making idle chit-chat.

A question... are these figures magnetic? Whenever I place them near anything made out of metal, they are always pulled towards them by this magnetic force.

Pignite Jakks Figure with Fire Launching Stand
I was not thrilled to find out about Jakks rereleasing the same figure just so they could add a new gimmick, which is the stand you see in the picture. Pignite got a fiery stand, and I know a couple of other Pokémon got a different variation of their own stand. Despite that, they all have the same function, which is to shoot little discs from the bottom. They can actually shoot the discs far and fast! That's still no excuse to release the same figure. They could have at least done something different.
I know what you all are thinking: Tomy is doing the same thing, too. That's true. Yes, you are right, and I have to agree with the general consensus- they are not only doing the same thing but they are also doing it more shamelessly! I was at Toys R Us recently and they are releasing the same figures over and over just to pair them with garbage gimmicks. My advice: if you just want the figures, go to eBay or Amazon and try to find them being sold individually. Also, try to not overpay for your figures. This is the better route if you do not want to pay a lot of money for figures that come with lousy gimmicks.

Tepig and Friends Pokémon Center New Year Postcard 2011
This was released in late 2010 for the 2011 New Year. While they normally have the new year animals in some form on at least one of these cards, 2011 lacked rabbits (it was the year of the rabbit). I guess they wanted to show off what was in Generation V only, but when Gen VI rolled around, that didn't stop them from adding a horse from a previous generation (Ponyta) to their postcards. I don't get you, Pokémon Center. You never make any sense to me sometimes.

Pignite and Friends Pokémon Center New Year Postcard 2013
This is a replacement to a single postcard I idiotically ruined. I was very lucky to find a replacement packet since these things are a humdinger to find once they are no longer being sold at Pokémon Centers.
New new year postcards I buy that are MIP are going to be kept MIP. I'm done with this malarkey of ruining good postcards due to crappy tape. I want to display these things, gosh dang it! It shouldn't be hindered by garbage like that!
Anyways, what I love the most about these postcards is the artwork! I just love it! It's so unique and pretty.

Pignite Metal Keychain
When I first saw this item in an advertisment, I thought it was going to be the size of my palm. Not too big, but not tiny, either. I was wrong. This thing is very small! It is smaller than the palm of my hand and I had to get up really close to take its picture.
Now, keep in mind that smaller does not make it worse. These keychains are well-made and will not take up a lot of room should you decide to display them. I say they are still worth the get, just don't be too disappointed if you find them too small for your liking.

Pignite Pokémon Worlds 2011 Plastic Tote Bag
I sometimes participate in competitive video game tournaments, but mostly for the sake of having fun rather than to actually compete. I win, I win. I lose, I lose. Overall, I have fun! Still, who would have known Pokémon would be such a thing that a world championship with big-time prizes would take shape?
I also go for the merchandise that they sell at these venues. I would love to go to a Worlds tournament not so much to compete (though it would be a dream come true if that happened! *dreamysigh), but for the items they have to offer! Every year features a different design, usually based off the location where the tournaments are taking place. The year 2011 had the championships take place in San Diego and featured my favorite middle-stage starter, so I had to buy the items, of course!

#503 Samurott
Japanese name: ダイケンキ (Daikenki)
Otters are my second favorite animal, so when an entire line of otters were revealed for Generation V, I was as excited as excited can get! I like Oshawott and Dewott but I really don't want to collect them because that would be WAY too much for me to handle. Collecting the Tepig-line is enough for me. I like Samurott the best, and I was especially happy when I managed to get a female in my White 2 version, so once again, I caved and had to collect.
Samurott's collection of items is something I hope to finish soon! Unlike the final forms, The first forms are the ones who are merchandised to death, which is why the Tepig-line is taking forever to complete. There are a few more Samurott things I need, but they are not the most expensive around, so that's good!

Japanese names: ヨーテリー (Yorterrie), ハーデリア (Herderrie), ムーランド (Mooland)
Terriers! I LOVE TERRIERS! Terrier Pokémon? Yes, please! Knowing The Pokémon Company's unfortunate habit of releasing little merchandise of cat and dog Pokémon, I thought I could manage collecting these pups. They proved me right. Lillipup got a decent amount of merch, Stoutland also has an adequate amount, but Herdier has very little. I am also not happy with the fact that they don't have Tomy figures or Zukans while Pokémon from past generations with at least one Zukan released got new poses, but what can you do? I am just happy they got anything, especially plushes!

With the Officer Jenny promotion, she made a return in plush form! This was fantastic news as it meant another terrier to add to my collection.
Lovely plush! While her pose is nothing spectacular and I wish they used a softer material, I am glad they decided to do something different for once instead of giving us the same ol' same ol'. Definitely a welcomed addition.

#510 Liepard
Japanese name: レパルダス (Lepardas)
Being the crazy cat lady that I am, I knew I wanted to collect Liepard the moment I laid my eyes on her! She is another Pokémon I wanted to collect non-stop, but sadly, she hardly has anything. I don't know what is it about The Pokémon Company and fully-evolved cat Pokémon. I guess they are not as "cute" as their pre-evolved forms, which makes me sad. Don't think I don't like Meowth or Purrloin, because I really like those two, but I love their evolved forms for their detailed, realistic, quadrupedal shape!
I can't complain too much. At least Liepard got a plush. Oh, and fun fact: every single one of Liepard's items here are from Japan! True, there isn't a lot, but still, you'd think there would be one non-Japanese item here.
