PokeCollection 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 the channel further, continuing to showcase activities surrounding the brand.
PokeCollection originally began as a YouTube channel, launched on June 17, 2009 by Asad Naseem. Following its launch, the channel grew rapidly and expanded into all areas of social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Snapchat, and Twitch. During this process, Asad became more involved with companies officially associated with the Pokémon brand, various entertainment brands and local businesses and food establishments. With his growing presence online, he became known for delivering entertainment in many areas of pop culture, food and general day-to-day life on PokeCollection. Asad is now a voice actor and has conducted several interviews with notable celebrities and voice acting talent, including Natalia Tena (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones), Veronica Taylor (Pokémon, Sailor Moon), Stephanie Sheh (Naruto, Bleach) and Eric Stuart (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon).
 
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, humorous and personable way. Peripheral sites, such as their Facebook, Twitter and Ustream pages, were introduced much later but these have expanded PokeCollection's reach, in turn enabling them to provide increased family-friendly interactivity. A main aim of PokeCollection is 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 PokeCollection brought to the table resonated well within the community and continues to do so.

Several companies soon showed an interest in supporting PokeCollection via a range of sponsorships, affiliations and ongoing relationships secured beginning in 2011, most - but not limited to - being official and exclusive licensees of the Pokémon brand in Australia and New Zealand. These companies, who also share a similar set of aims to PokeCollection, include Tomy, Banter Toys & Collectibles, Beyond Home Entertainment, Nintendo, Siren Visual, Hanabee Entertainment, Rhythmethod, Bluemouth Interactive and several more. As such, the support provided by these companies have allowed PokeCollection to showcase, often exclusively, new and upcoming products in their catalogue, internationally. As such, it became paramount for PokeCollection 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.
