PokeCollection

Next week, on June 17, PokeCollection turns 16.

Fun(?) fact: I was closing in on finishing my #PKC16 poster and then Adobe crashed, and I have to start again.

That's my update. 🤦🏽‍♂️🙃

I know it's been a while, but it's been a struggle juggle! Lots of life, lots of admin, lots of meh. But rather than put a date on anything yet, I'm just hard at work restoring the PokeCollection studio to it's former glory - and a new iteration at that!

Plus, #PKC16 to look forward to aswell, rebinding to be done... - along with a lot more.

So much to get through, but I'm taking it each day at a time... and they're long ones, and often unkind to the mind.

Hopefully by the second half of this year, I'll be able to look back and laugh as I'll be back to streaming and all sorts.

One can hope!

Hope all of your are doing well. I just wanted to let you know that you're not forgotten during this extended hiatus.

I'll be back soon, I promise. In the meantime, keep up with my socials as I'm always updating there! :)

A big congratulations to my sister, Anya, who graduated this week! 🎉

Many of you who have followed PokeCollection since the beginning will remember her fondly.

Anya was 8 when I first started the channel, can you believe it? 🤯

Couldn't be more proud of you, Anya! 😊

Ohai! Hi! It's me. We recently bought our first home and we moved in last week!

For those who don't follow my Insta Stories, I may have dropped off quite a bit on YouTube and a few other spaces, like here, so quickly dropping in with an update.

We're well and truly functioning as a household again, and it's so great to be able to call this our very own home! We took last week off from the day jobs to move in and start setting things up for success, but things on the PokeCollection side are still very much a work in progress.

I'm still rebuilding the studio from the ground up, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out, but for now it's a bare minimum studio where I can at least get some work done and start getting back into the swing of things.

Hopefully soon I can start settling and figuring things out, giving you a tour of the new place, and setting up streaming sessions from here on in. Plus, loads more content to film for sure.

I guess this calls for a PokeCollection Housewarming Party, right? Should we make that the theme of this year's birthday festivities - PokeCollection's Sweet Sixteen Housewarming Party of Amazingness and Stuff?

Watch this space. And I know there's been a bit of a gap, but trust me, I'm working on it - but life priorities first.

Chat soon! :)

Thank you all again for entering the giveaway. There were so many entries to get through this time around, so I'm glad I could give out a fair bit to spread the love!

Oops! I've made a mistake with my 151 giveaway! 😱

This doesn't happen often, but I had a bit of a brain fart and announced only 1x winner for what I stated to be a 151 Booster Bundle, but in fact the giveaway was (as stated in the video) for 5x bundles of 2x 151 Booster Packs - DOH! I guess I'm not a robot after all, and also very sick, so this is real horrifying for me!

This doesn't mean my original winner, @kyleb0000 misses out though - they'll still get their prize of 2x booster packs, and I've been in touch, but it just won't be a Booster Bundle as I originally, incorrectly mentioned.

The good news is, there's 4x more prizes I need to draw, having drawn just the one! So I'll get onto that and announce the remaining 4x winners as soon as I can. This also doesn't affect the Prismatic Giveaway which was drawn correctly.

I'm really sorry for the mistake here. I can imagine it would suck hearing that you've won something, and then it turns out to be any lesser, but in all fairness of the giveaway rules, I did state this in the video and this was on me for getting it wrong. If I was a retailer, I'd be able to give out more, but as this was just a giveaway for good will, I'm really gutted I can't make up for it any further, so I'm sticking to honouring the original giveaway as it was stated and I'll make sure I don't mess up next time.

I suppose I really could do with some sleep and rest! 😫

PRISMATIC + 151 WINNERS! 🎉

A BIG congratulations to PokeCollection YouTube Subscribers ‪@TeMawhai‬ and ‪@Kyleb0000‬ for being drawn as my recent giveaway winners, which I hosted across several YouTube videos that released over the past month! 🔥

@𝗧𝗲𝗠𝗮𝘄𝗵𝗮𝗶 wins a Pokémon Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box, and @𝗸𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗯𝟬𝟬𝟬𝟬 wins a Pokémon 151 Booster Bundle, with a massive thank you to my friends at Mighty Ape Hobbies for sponsoring this giveaway.

A huge thank you to everyone that has entered over the past month and for either having, or have already been, subscribed to PokeCollection. Your support means a great deal and it's because of that, I'm able to organise awesome giveaways like these to you.

These ones in particular I felt needed a longer time frame to give everyone the maximum opportunity to enter. I wish I had one item for each and everyone of you - even those who didn't just comment to enter!

Thanks to everyone that entered and watch this space for more unboxings coming your way soon, along with giveaways too! 🙌

WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST HOME(COLLECTION)! 🎉

Just got the keys today! 🏡

After countless open homes and weekends lost, juggling parenthood with new career milestones, and a bloody ton of stress... our efforts finally paid off, and we didn't have to give up our barista coffees and brunchin' (a.k.a what remained of our sanity) along the way!

Life's a whirlwind and we've still not processed it, but it definitely feels like an April Fool's joke at this point. 😅

A memorable milestone and one that we're so proud of and grateful for, and the timing couldn't be more perfect, having settled today on Eid-al-Fitr. ☺️🙏

PokeCollection has definitely had to take more of a backseat over the past few months, but I'm stoked I still managed to get a few bits of goodness out there - including the recent giveaways! There'll be more to come, but the PokeCollection studio will be in full transition over the Easter period, so it's going to be a crazy month ahead.

Appreciate your patience as we navigate this new (Pokémon) journey, but I cannot wait to finally get settled and get back into the swing of things for real! 😁
