'''PokéCollection''' originally began as a YouTube channel, launched on June 17th, 2009 and is run by Asad Naseem. Asad's youngest sister, Anya, also became involved with the project and further family members soon followed suit, although the original idea was to release only a one-off trilogy of videos. Being huge fans of the Pokémon brand, Asad and Anya decided to take it further, continuing to showcasing activities surrounding the brand.
'''PokeCollection''' is the stage name of Asad Naseem, a British-born entertainer, voice actor, journalist and social influencer based in New Zealand who runs a series of social channels based around his life, including his journey with Pokémon, pop culture and food. Whether it's the latest movie, his Pokémon adventures or his current favorite dish, Asad keeps his fans up to date on everything he loves. The project began on June 17th, 2009. The YouTube channel hit its 10,000th subscriber on November 7th, 2012 and surpassed 5 million views on March 26th 2014. As of April 2017 the YouTube channel has surpassed 37,000 subscribers and 12 million views.  


PokeCollection now involves, but isn't limited to, the release of exclusive announcements, documentation of all the latest products, regular vlogging, and attendance at special events, often presented in a light-hearted, humourous and personable way. Peripheral sites, such as their Facebook, Twitter and Ustream pages, were introduced much later but these have expanded PokéCollection's reach, in turn enabling them to provide increased family-friendly interactivity. A main aim of PokéCollection was to be able to remain in touch with the fan base on a daily basis, via updates, personal communication, and online-based live shows at a level more interactive and integrative than normally observed. Consequently, the unique qualities that PokéCollection brought to the table resonated well within the community and continues to do so.
Asad Naseem and PokeCollection is managed by New Zealand-based agency, Johnson & Laird.


Several companies soon showed an interest in supporting PokéCollection via a range of sponsorships and affiliations secured beginning in 2011, most  - but not limited to - being official licensess of the Pokémon brand in Australia and New Zealand. These companies, who also share a similar set of aims to PokéCollection, include Tomy, Banter Toys & Collectibles, Beyond Home Entertainment, Nintendo, Siren Visual, Hanabee Entertainment, Rhythmethod, and several more. As such, the support provided by these companies have allowed PokéCollection to showcase, often exclusively, new and upcoming products in their catalogue, internationally. As such, it became paramount for PokéCollection to provide localised and reliable information pertaining to the latest and greatest to all their viewers in a timely fashion, while also providing them with plenty of opportunities to enter many competitions and giveaways.
