Information Resources
- Collector Viper
The best resource on card information, news, history, and high-quality scans. Second only to the official Japanese site. - All About Pokémon Figure
My absolute favorite source for news and the latest information on merchandise releases. No longer updated, but a great resource nonetheless. - The PokéPlush Project
A great resource, with its goal of being documenting each and every Pokémon plush ever made. (Within reason. I'm looking at you, Pikachu.) - Jim Breen's WWWJDIC
My all-time favorite online Japanese dictionary. Not only can you look up words, in Romanji and Kana/Kanji, but you can translate sentences comprehensively, and look up Kanji using an amazing multiradical method. An amazing educational tool.
Merchandise Resources and Stores
- Yahoo Japan Auctions
Where I buy most of my merchandise, using a deputy service.
Note that this site is Japanese-only, but you can always use an online translator for the auctions. - eBay
Another indispensible auction site I use. However, be vigilant about spotting bootlegs. - Sunyshore Pokémart
One of my all-time favorite stores, run by a good friend of mine! I've bought a good few rare collectibles from her, and her prices are always fair. Always top-notch merchandise, too, many of which you won't find anywhere else, sometimes even on Yahoo Japan.
