TCG items
Genesect prism corocoro card
This card was only in a certain issue of coro coro magazine, some kind of japanese gaming magazine, i believe? This card is very pretty, with it's prism holo effect. A great item to have =p
Genesect plasma EX card from Megalo cannon
The plasma EX card from megalo cannon! When this came out, i knew i had to have it but was worried about the chances of obtaining a card like this. I was going to rush out and get a booster box then decided against it because it was so expensive and getting the card wasn't guaranteed T_T
In the end i bought two booster packs to boost an order online...and it was the first card i pulled! XD Best £4 i ever spent!

Pokemon center prism holo promo card
This card was given out to people who bought items in April 2013 at the Pokemon center. When it came out i figured i'd never own it because...it was rather expensive >_<
Later i came across a lot of two MIP so i snapped them up =3 They're really pretty in the sun but they came bent due to their flimsy packaging. It's the kind that movie cards and cereal toys come in. They weren't even sent in plastic card protectors or between cardboard :/

genesect ex full art card
g booster ace spec card (Korean language)
Japanese booster pack wrapper
Megalo cannon booster pack! Probably a random thing to include but i love the art X3
Before collecting merchandise like plush and figures, i avidly collected cards from the trading card game. I have only ever been really interested in holographic cards and there were never very good odds of getting them in boosters (until the fairly recent thing of always having at least a reverse holo in each pack...) so i used to collect the booster packaging as well ^_^
Actually, knowing the odds of getting a genesect card, i got a booster pack anyway just for the art. The genesect EX was a very, very awesome bonus!

korean booster pack wrapper
plasma blast booster pack wrapper
The foil wrapper for a Plasma blast (Megalo cannon in Japan) booster pack. The art is different from the original Japanese set which i appreciate.
There is also a version of this booster pack with cardboard packaging instead of foil, which is aimed at collectors; presumably since it's easier to open/not tear. |
Deck holders, folders & other accessories
Half-deck holder
A beautiful team plasma deck box featuring genesect, deoxys, lugia and one of the genie trio (thundurus?). There are card protectors in this design as well.
I bought it because genesect but it's actually a really nice item =) it's smaller than i thought and can only hold a half deck (30 cards) though i bet you could cram a full deck in there if you were desperate, not that i've tried ^_^'
I like this item a lot more than expected - The deck and separators are slightly see through instead of solid colour and the colours are very vibrant in person. Everything just 'pops' it's nice. I wish they made clear files like this.

a4 ultra pro card folder (Plasma blast - mind wipe )
It has 10 pages of pockets inside (with 9 pockets per page) so my genesect card collection fits perfectly.
The genesect artwork used on this folder is from the "Plasma blast - mind wipe" theme deck, not to be confused with the "Plasma blast" boosters which have different art. The Volcarona artwork is from the "Plasma blast - solar strike" theme deck which is a companion to mind wipe. |
This is huge and surprisingly heavy! It's A4 size while most trading card folders are A5 (Soo around half the size of this folder!). I had no idea when i bought it, thinking it would be the standard, smaller size.
|
a5 ultra pro card folder (plasma blast)
A smaller card folder made by Ultra Pro.
It's a shame, but this folder feels much more flimsy and lower quality than the above A4 folder and some of the others i own, especially for it's price point (this folder costs between £4-7, while the A4 folder is typically £6-10). Considering you get 40 pockets in this one and 90 in the A4 one, it's also much better value too. But enough negatives! The pictures are bright and well printed which is the main thing, since i love this particular piece of genesect art. |
Pre-made decks, collector's boxes and special packs
Mewtwo vs genesect half deck
Campaign pack
The campaign pack -this is the first ever shiny genesect card made! There is a movie exclusive variant made of this card as well. It comes with four packs of EX battle boost cards (i got a grand total of 0 holos from it though. Curse my terrible luck with card pulls!). If you missed it, the red genesect collection box (coming out September) will contain this card in English.
|
movie exclusive red genesect pack
Like the set above, this card originally came with booster packs (two EX battle boost, two Megalo cannon). I bought this on y!j though, so i got the card by itself.
This is the movie exclusive variation (which i like the artwork of more, go figure!) so it was only available in theatres showing the pokemon movie for a limited time. |
movie exclusive card sleeves
Another movie exclusive - there are too many!
This exclusive pack contains two booster packs ( one EX battle boost and one Megalo cannon) and two packs of card sleeves (32 individual sleeves). These card sleeves are extremely vibrant with some lovely artwork which i haven't seen re-used elsewhere. Really nice items to have, and they're useful for keeping your cards in too! |
Elite trainer box
Plasma blast is the English name for the Megalo cannon set. There are some minor differences in the set but i believe the holos are the same.
This is a special box only released outside of Japan. |
Red genesect collection box
Another set of English cards. I think at this point most if not all genesect cards have been released in English and other languages, (mostly in theme decks and special packs like these) perhaps with the exception of the special movie exclusive card, but time will tell if they release that here also.
This special pack included a pin, deck box, booster packs and a large coin. The pin and coin were the main draw for me since i already have this card in Japanese =) |
korean megalo cannon booster box
Clear files
The normal coloured clear file. This file seems to have inspired the design of the purple zukan and red lottery figure because of the rock theme.
I bought this in the genesect promotion of Dec 2012 with most of my other normal genesect stuff. There were loads of pencil cases, stationary etc. but it all had this design on so i went with the clear file. I may have an addiction XD

Red genesect movie clear file!
As with the normal genesect promotion goods this image was slapped on everything so i just went with the clear file. It's reaaally pretty and shiny as with the last one, but this time due to the movie it has FIVE GENESECT on it!! I like it so much it's not coming out of the bag! (ever).

The clear file which came out with the impossible to find movie promotion merch. The front art is a rather softly drawn cityscape - quite different from the rest of genesect's blocky, cartoony artwork. Not my favourite but i love that it shows both genesect in a different style...and includes his extremespeed form! I love, love, love the art on the back of the file though! The combination of building or circuit board like abstract shapes and music display is pretty cool.
Extremespeed genosect and the awakening of mewtwo clearfile and discount voucher
For the last few months movie posters have been floating around the net: Ebay, Y!j, Rakuten, PKMNcollectors...and, for the last few months, i've been vehemently ignoring those overpriced things. Until now. I saw it on Y!j, this beauty that combines movie poster with clear file and it gives what the posters do not: two sides, one filled with shots from the new game! Being realistic, they've just basically pritt sticked a poster and a magazine page onto a clear purple file and called it a day, but it makes my obsessive senses tingle because A: It's a clear file i don't have and B: i don't need to buy a poster and have it get ripped up because plastic is stronger than paper and C: It has extra stuff like the game promo side and a discount voucher for the movie. If it's not worth anything i may frame the voucher..... ..... .....yes i'm serious XD |
Otherwise known as mystery file, because it just appeared on Y!j and i know nothing about it!
It appears to be some kind of prize, freebie or promotional item advertising the black/white 2 games in Japan - it says NOT FOR SALE on the back, so presumably it was never sold conventionally through the pokemon center or such. It wouldn't surprise me if it was also to advertise the mystery gift giveaway of genesect. I remember that being around November last year and this file has the date 2012 on it.
I would LOVE to know more about this file! If you know anything at all, please use the contact form on the genesect item list page to get in touch! ^___^
So yeah, this file just turned up on Y!j one day! - I wasn't sure whether to go for it because the seller had terribad reviews, but i bid anyway, no one gave me any competition (because of reviews?) and i won it for 50 yen C= It arrived without incident and in pretty decent condition (no protective plastic,a few scratches and stuff - no biggie) so i'm happy, especially because clear files are my favourite flat atm and i want all the genesect ones. I also really adore promotional stuff so that's a bonus too =)

This file man! XD I ummed and aaaed over this for MONTHS and worried i wouldn't get it again but i said to myself 'it only has a tiny genesect on it, it's not really genesect centric merch anyway' and forgot about it. Then i bought some other stuff, got some clear files from Y!J and fell in love with these all over again. Sooo...i bought it to bump up an order and OMG I LOVE THIS SO HARD!
For starters the style is AMAZING. I have a large towel with a similar style and i just adore it. Secondly it has some of my favourite pokemon, as well as others i find incredibly cool: Metagross, salamence, Flygon, Volcarona, Rayquaza, Tyranitar, Haxorus, Garchomp...Aaaah! It's definitely one of my favourite flat items ever, despite having roughly 76234 other pokemon on it other than genesect.

3d effect Lottery clear file
namco mini clear files set |
These mini clear files were part of a pokemon pan (bread) promotion where, when you collected six of these, you could trade them in for one normal sized clear file. As well as these three movie themed ones, there were also three eeveelutions ones made to promote the short.
|
movie comic panel clear file
Another movie exclusive item. You can tell which items are exclusive from the Pikachu and Eevee stickers on them.
This clear file came in a set of two with a sylveon and eevee themed one. This file - like many movie files - features a movie poster on the front with another design on the back. I particularly like the comic panel style artwork on the back side of the clear file.

pokemon special autograph signing clear file and post card |
As i understand it, these clear files were either given away or were prizes as part of a lottery during a signing event. I haven't seen too many pop up (and i've never seen another postcard for sale) so i'm presuming the latter.
It's truly stunning with the artwork from pokemon special ( a manga based on the pokemon series) which just happened to include genesect, so of course i had to get it! |
Charms, straps and keychains
Pokemon center charms
Red genesect charms, my favourite of the two packs of charms because it features the extremespeed form! The art behind it is also nice - far more interesting than the normal grey charm background.
Normal coloured genesect charms! This one comes with a clip. It's awesome that the red and normal genesect get different poses, it's a nice touch.
16th movie promotion metal keychain
2012 genesect promotion metal keychain
metal movie charms set
stamp rally sendai charms
These were prizes from the 2013 stamp rally! You could win these by riding the railway cars and gathering stamps in each station.
I can't read Japanese so i'm going by the pictures, but from what i understand these were given out depending how many stamps you got: 3 stamps got a pikachu charm, Pikachu + 9 stamps got a genesect, genesect + 15 stamps got a mewtwo and all the charms + all 24 stamps got you the movie charm on the left. You could also win an eevee + pikachu charm which i have, but i don't understand the text (and there are no helpful pictures T_T ). You needed to get two eeveelution stamps to win the charm though. Either way, i've only seen these up for sale twice so i'm guessing winning these wasn't easy. |
pokemon center phone straps
This strap is nice - a bit smaller than i expected, but as the first 3D 'figure' of genesect available, i leapt at the chance to own it =)
netsuke phone straps
Purple and red netsuke straps. I have to admit, i'm slightly miffed because red is missing his cannon. It hasn't dropped off or anything...it was just entirely absent when i opened the pack. Odd.
dot sprite earphone jack strap
red genesect lottery charm
The G prize in this summer's ichiban kuji was a set of three charms including this one! (the others were eevee and pikachu).
This is such a nice sized charm with beautiful packaging reflecting the lottery's pokedoll theme. As well as the main charm, there are also charms of pikachu, charizard, mewtwo and a blue cube with a pokeball on it. All the charms are made of a clear plastic. |
"genesect army" pokedoll keyring
Another one of those sought after pokedoll items!
There were three pokedoll keyrings to choose from featuring different pokemon. One keyring had mewtwo and the Kanto starters, another had pikachu, eevee, oshawott and dragonite and the last one had the full genesect army from the movie. I love this keyring - the charms are a nice size, each genesect has a different colour drive and they don't share a ring with any other mon. Yay! |
7-11 drinks promotion screen cleaner and earphone jack straps
Please excuse the horrible photos of these guys, they were very hard to photograph, especially since the red one arrived bent >_<
namco prize figure keyrings |
I honestly wasn't sure whether to stick these here or in the figure section because they're literally full sized figures on keyrings.
They're around 2 1/2 inches tall (4 1/2 if you include the keyring) so they're not exactly dainty little charms. I'm not sure i'd stick my keys on these personally but the figures look great displayed. |
Best wishes ball chain swing charms (Takara Tomy arts)
These figures are rather large and well made. It's almost a shame that they're on chains because they stand so well on their own (unlike all genesect's other figures).
|
There are four different drive types in this set for purple genesect.
|
Ball chain swing charms. I get this set confused with the other set of ball chain figure charms a lot.
|
Ball chain figure straps
This is part of a set of blind boxed charms. Although these ones are much larger than the others, it's impossible to tell just from the illustration so i tend to mix these up.
These are pretty good charms - big, well detailed but they suffer from quite a few paint and moulding issues, especially the mewtwo one. |
Metal emblem keyrings
Metal keychains to promote the new movie! Didn't know these were released until they turned up in a sales post recently. I imagine they're blind boxed as there are 10 designs to choose from: these two, mewtwo, pikachu, eevee, charizard, dragonite, flareon, vaporeon and jolteon. I also assume finding/buying these was difficult and expensive due to all the eeveelutions >_<
...Anyway! They're mine now, and they're pretty awesome! I'm still deciding whether to take them out of their packs to display them, cause the packaging is a real issue - it's impossible to see and photograph them without glare. Those paper inserts are nice though =3

Chara metal collection charms
These things!
Blind packed with a million designs in a set + a secret rare? check! It's taken months to find this thing! It hadn't popped up once on auction sites, so in desperation i asked the community and a lovely person sold it to me <33 I still have the secret rare to find, but at least i have this lovely charm. It's pretty tiny but heavy and great quality too. |
rectangular metal charm
I could have sworn i put this on here earlier but obviously not! Whoops >_<'
This is a metal charm/tag from one of those blind boxed sets! Much like the metal chara collection charms, this set had a huge number of variations. This charm is pretty small and on a ball chain, though it's quite heavy. The other side has the image of a pokedex engraved into the metal. |
rubber name plate keychain
One of the best things about knowing other people who collect pokemon from the same movie is that, quite often, they'll come across rare, cool items that i don't know about. This is one of them!
This is a rubber name tag - the sort of thing you attach to your luggage, school bag etc. so you know who it belongs to. The name can be written on a piece of card and slid into a plastic pocket on the back. I know there was also a sylveon and eevee tag made as well. Not sure if there are any others besides these two. |
LED reflector mascot key chains
When i was a kid my school gave out key chains to attach to your bag which were in reflective, violently neon colours so people could see you in the dark (to hopefully avoid running you over). These are pretty much the same deal but way nicer!
They're a very large size for something you'd put on your bag or whatever but they definitely do their job - the white parts are reflective so they can easily be seen at night and a nice LED light is included too, so you can see the keyhole when you're trying to open your door in the pitch black. Awesome! A small warning though: if you're epileptic (or get motion sickness) don't get the red one, for the love of God. The purple one is one bulb and only lights up when pressed but the red one is an apocalyptic rave of flashing red lights that loops endlessly unless it's pressed again. It has four bulbs total which flash in a circular pattern, stop for a second then flash again.
|
7-11 exclusive red genesect reflector keyring
This key ring was only available to those who viewed the movie, much like the popcorn bucket. I believe sylveon and pikachu ones were also sold.
It's similar to the key rings above except it does not have LED lights inside it. It is also quite a bit smaller - a much better size for fixing to your bag or keys. |
Flat items and packaging
A metal coin - apparently these were sold in vending machines in Japan recently. So far i've seen these coins in two colours: silver and bronze, but i'm willing to bet they come in others too.
It's quite nice =3 Very small, similar to the size and design of a 50p coin. It has the pokemon BW best wishes logo on the back. |
Ensky magnets
These may look like normal pieces of card or paper, but they're in fact magnets! Ensky is a company that is both loved and loathed by the collecting community for their insistent blind packaging of EVERYTHING. You can never guarantee what you're going to get so their products, once opened, quite often fetch a high price on the reselling market.
These are my first ensky magnets ever and i'm quite pleased how big and vibrant they are! I was expecting them to be around the size of a credit card - actually, they're over twice the size of one!
The printing is really good, very high quality; you can even remove the individual pokemon from the large magnetic background if you want. Overall, one of my favourite flat items X3

magazine ver. movie magnet sheet
commemorative movie stamp (109 cinemas in Nagoya)
This is a very large stamp that you could get if you saw the movie in certain theatres...although i didn't!
I was wondering where i'd get this from actually, since i'd seen this on Japanese blogs during the movie / stamp rally time. Turns out the answer was - as always - Y!j auctions. For ten yen. Bargain =) |

Custom flat items
Custom ACEO card by Viper_fox
Otherwise known as Nyan~sect, because it reminds me of Nyancat ^_^ (can never get that song out of my head!) It's a beautiful extremespeed genesect flying through the sky trailing a shiny rainbow! Viper_fox did a really nice job on this card - i'm very happy! =D
I also wanted some custom merch because it seemed at the time that normal coloured extremespeed genesect was missing out on merch (he's not - at least not flat items) and why should his shiny counterpart hog all the awesome transforming figures?

meiji card
Meiji cards! Like many other collectibles, these cards come with candy and are packed randomly with lots of designs in each set.
I'm not sure if a purple version has been made at all, but red here got his own card after the movie. It's pretty shiny and stuff. |
menko cards
These cards are odd. They're much smaller and thicker than regular trading cards. I thought the card on the box was a dummy because of it, but they all look like that.
This box contained 30 cards which don't seem to be blind packed since i didn't get repeats. It's an awesome thing, because i got all the cards i wanted from the set! |
black and white card
These cards came in a pack of two: one is clear like the above, while the other one has a background. You put them together and it looks like the two pokemon are fighting! They're basically the same as VS cards but with a new gimmick (which i think is cool but eh).
I only bought the clear plastic card since, to my knowledge, there isn't a genesect card with a background. The card is slightly larger than a trading card and quite flimsy/bendy (though i shoved mine into a card pocket easily enough). |
stamp rally stamp book
This book was given out during the 2013 stamp rally. There are 24 stamps you have to collect around different stations to win prizes.
There are also other prizes, like an eevee and pikachu charm and a mewtwo, pikachu and red genesect bottle holder which require you to find different stamps besides these 24. |
stamp rally stamp sheet and cards
movie 16 brochure
This was a movie booklet/brochure available to purchase when viewing the 16th movie. I believe it was around 600 yen to buy originally.
This is a really good supplement to the movie! It includes information about the setting, characters, voice actors and plot points, as well as things to make and do. It also has quite a detailed look at all the exclusive movie merchandise, new games, events etc. There's also a place for a "memorial stamp" but mine isn't stamped, gah! >_< The book doesn't have too many pages and it's mostly advertising but that's ok (it's kind of like a check list for me anyway!). My favourite part about this book, besides the genesect art inside, has to be the front cover. It has a prism holo finish much like one of genesect's holo TCG cards. There's also a small booklet inside focusing on the Pikachu short; that one has a gorgeous starry holo finish instead. |
embroidered stickers |
Two types of embroidered stickers. These look like patches which you sew onto clothing but they actually have adhesive on the back like normal stickers. The larger one also comes in genesect's shiny colours.
I also found the red variant of the 'standing' pose...but the patch is about the size of the small one, which is a little disappointing (not sure if there's a larger version or not...?). On the plus side, shiny genesect has shimmery thread used for it's eyes, so it's rather pretty. |
16 th movie battle piece collection stickers
Lots of tiny, shiny stickers (plus the megmilk sticker which gives some idea of scale)
These came (rather oddly) inside gacha balls. There were a lot of other movie pokemon like the eeveelutions, charizard, pikachu, mewtwo and sableye in this set with a lot of different sticker types. I didn't have to hunt though - i bought all these as a lot. I even have a lot of spares to use on stationary, packages and such <33 |
pan stickers
red genesect meiji candy |
Tiny box of lemon flavour candy pieces. This type of candy was sold in a set with a whole bunch of eeveelutions on the other boxes.
It's also, as far as i've seen, the bearer of a unique piece of genesect art! (Talk about finding gems in unusual places.) I've never seen the piece of art on the back of this box on anything else. There's a backwards facing pose that's very similar to this on other things, but nope! This is one of a kind as far as i'm aware! =D Unfortunately the box got damaged in transit to me (i bought a pencil topper along with the box and it's head went straight through it) but i've patched it up as best i can. |
