Obtained over a span of thirteen years, Lisa's collection features 12,113 separate items. When asked about the record, Lisa said: "My family have been incredibly supportive considering the collection takes up the whole house, including my mother's room! I've even named the room where my main collection resides 'Pokémon Centre Europe!' To be in the new Gamer's Edition and to hold a world record for something you feel so passionate about is just an indescribable feeling."
