British girl has record-breaking Pokemon collection

by Justin McElroy on Jan 21st 2010 12:45PM

For years we've waited for the news, patiently biding our time, but we need wait no longer. Somewhere in Hertfordshire, UK, 21-year-old Lisa Courtney ... has caught 'em all. Her 12,000-piece Pokémon memorabilia collection has landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records 2010 Gamer's Edition, and if a 12,000-piece set doesn't constitute 'em all, then we don't want to know what does.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to go tell Griffin about this so he can start writing Lisa creepy love letters.

Griffin's caught them all. This girl's just a REALLY convincing poser.

She's caught em all until the next Pokemon game anyway.

Add a ditto to her collection and I guarantee she can double, dare I say triple it.

I know this girl...I just got matched with her on eHarmony.

Wow, are you that desperate Captain Planet.. I know the green flattop isn't a chick magnet, but the muscles should compensate.

When your skin is blue and your hair is green, EVERYWHERE...then come talk to me about dating.

Asshole.

A green flat-top mullet.

He has no bulge. All self respecting second tier superheros are drawn with a bulge to show they're choking a whale's endowment with those fruity tight pants.

@Shagittarius

...on his crotch.

Second tier superhero?

DOES CAPTAIN PLANET HAVE TO CHOKE A BITCH?

I don't believe in these so-called "tiers".

Excuse the other guy, he's a bit loco in der coco, if you know what I mean... :P

OMG Captain Planet, you really are my personal hero. ROFLMAO

It's hard to argue with a man who rolls in a cut-off shirt and a speedo.

hey motherfuckers, the carpet matches the drapes ok?!

On no Captain on E-Harmony?
Did thinks not work out with Rosie?

And no, I won't let that die. Ever.

Shhhhh!! Rosie doesn't know you fool!!

It would be A LOT cooler if she caught 'em all in the games legitimately, transferred them all into one game on the DS and said GARY OAK EATCHO HEART OUT!

I'd hit 'em all.

I see her thought process was pokemon toys > college.

she looks just like i imagined she would

more like pokemon > college > friends > family > life > her soul

She could look a whole lot worse, Cyclet.

And besides, who are we to judge, not like any of us are winning Mr. America beauty pageants, or anything.

I think Hydrophobicfish has shown a little love for pokegirl.

I'm not sure if someone who has made 1877 comments on Joystiq is the right person to critizise someone's lack of life.

i think hydrophobicfish just spelled my name wrong.

Speak for yourself Hydrophobicfish

Oh shit, Captain Planet just won the Mr. America Beauty Pageant!

12,000 constitutes 'em all being locked away for a month during breeding season.

SHES 21!?!?!?

disappointed huh?

Well, I mean.. if she bothered to put on make-up she'd look older.

holy fuck!? 21? At first i thought it said 12, i looked at the pic and i thought "alright, believable" but 21!? Jesus that girl must have discovered the secret of youth or something.

pokemon blood rejuvenates the skin.

The funny thing is, she probably wouldn't give you a second look either, jackass.

Fuck yeah! Now I can finally be proud to be British!

No, not as long as your people keep buying Just Dance.

did you forget crazy frog

i think that classifies as a war crime, I'm not sure.

To think that if the Revolutionary War were fought with Pokemon I would be British. I cringe at the thought. >_

The Colonies would just have broken out Griffin. They would have run off in forbidden romance, allowing the vastly larger population of US Pokenerds to overtake the Crown.

You guys made Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine the #1 song of the holidaze.

And now this?!

I'm green with jealous rage right now.

Now she needs to catch a boyfriend....or maybe she's already hooking up with a Mr Mime...

No, Justin already pointed out that it'll probably be Griffin (see link in article and read Pokemon Platinum part).

Shes undoubtedly more of a pokemone master then Ash is :P

[Comment reflecting on the female gender of the person in question and how well they uphold vague social standards imposed on them in regards to vanity, and how subservient they are]

[Comment reflecting on status of personal relationships of individual with said extreme hobby examining their ability to be like everybody in else in an attempt to distance self from extreme-hobbyist and make clear in everyone else's eyes JUST HOW NORMAL *I* AM, while making a huge deal about the subject in general]

[Continue being an asshole]

I don't like how you generalize our generalizations.

I feel it cheapens the relationship we have here on Joystiq.. you know, the non-existent one.

Was his comment modded or did he write it that way? Hulk confused.

Looks like a hell of a place to shoot porn

Imagine when she brings a guy back to her place. She has to turn them all around before she gets busy so they don't watch.

post of the day.
