'''PokéCollection''' originally began as a fan-based YouTube channel, launched on June 17th 2009, and is run by Asad Naseem. The channel focuses on interactivity and integration in the form of interactive videos, online live streams, and regular communication with the Pokémon community on and off YouTube. The videos often involve many members of family and friends. It is primarily vlog-based, as it involves the documentation of a large collection over time. However, more recently it has evolved to include a larger source of information, in addition to the showcasing of their collection. More recently, PokeCollection has branched out into other forms of social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and soon an official website. In 2011, PokeCollection became sponsored by a number of companies officially licensed as Pokémon product distributors, mainly in Australia and New Zealand, including Banter Toys & Collectibles (the official distributor of the Pokémon TCG in Australia and New Zealand), Beyond Home Entertainment (the official distributor of the Pokémon anime in Australia and New  Zealand), in addition to more recent support by Tomy, Nintendo, Siren Visual, Madman Entertainment, Warner Music, Bluemouth Interactive, and more. As such, PokeCollection has become a source of highlights, often made exclusive internationally, with regular additional and direct input from The Pokémon Company International.
