Hajimesyacho, a popular Japanese YouTuber known for diverse content ranging from product reviews to vlogs and challenges, recently revealed his monumental achievement on Twitter (X). Since the October 30, 2024 launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket, he's maxed out his daily Poké Gold purchases, reaching a staggering 50,000 cards.

This dedication translates to a daily expenditure of approximately $100 to reach the 720 Poké Gold daily limit. Over the game's 85-day lifespan, this amounts to an estimated $8,500—and this figure doesn't even include any potential savings from in-game sales events during the launch period and the holidays. His dedication to collecting every card from the Genetic Apex (A1) and Mythical Island booster packs, along with time-limited promotional cards, is truly remarkable. The latest addition to his collection is the new Pokedex Trainer card, awarded to players celebrating the global collection of 40 billion cards.
