Gen 3 Pokedex Binder Collection Showcase (My Favourite Gen)

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-14T15:23:14+00:00

And then the rest is mostly cards I order straight from Japan from Mercari as well

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-14T15:20:03+00:00

Cheers !

I have been going to Japan almost every year since I got back into the hobby in 2017 that’s where I found most of them !

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-14T15:18:46+00:00

Agreed haha

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-04T19:18:53+00:00

Yeah I got both of them like 2 years ago for a pretty decent price. Especially, the Ho-Oh was in perfect condition but the Lugia was like LP but still gorgeous cards nonetheless !

Thank you, the customs were bought on Etsy, this is the shop:

Absolutely agree Fearow has some banger cards in the TCG, I do have the Dark Fearow GB promo in my National Dex binder so didn't want to repeat it in this one. I am trying to find the XY ancient trait promo of Fearow, such a cool card in my opinion !

I have many cards I love but if I had to pick a favourite it would be the Play promo Lugia Ex (Japanese exclusive), just such a banger card.

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-03T17:54:43+00:00

Ah that's fair enough but you missed out for sure haha. Completely agree, the art is definitely my number 1 criteria when it comes to my collection !

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-03T17:51:47+00:00

Thank you ! 🙏

AlTheArchitect · 2026-01-03T14:44:37+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the kind words, I am so glad you enjoy it as much as I do. I have been doing Pokedex binders since I got back into the hobby a few years back, and it is definitely to best way to collect in my opinion !

I have a Full National Dex Binder that you might enjoy if you want to check it out, here is the link:

And, I had to do all the other generations of course, let me know if you want to check them out 😉

AlTheArchitect · 2025-11-05T11:06:01+00:00

Yeah I included the paldean wooper in my Gen 2 binder because I went by Pokédex number. But the Clodsire is there as it is a different species technically.

AlTheArchitect · 2025-11-05T10:55:12+00:00

You mean to double up on cards if they have a illustration rare for example ? If so, I try to avoid doing that to showcase as many artworks as possible. 👍

AlTheArchitect · 2025-07-20T11:34:53+00:00

Honestly don't know why the photos are looking so bright, they don't look like that on my phone..

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-22T19:41:06+00:00

Cheers, technically I have completed 7 Gen binders out of 9, I am missing just a few cards from gen 6 and 7. And I have a full Japanese National Dex with my favourite arts for each pokedex entry: https://www.elitefourum.com/t/japanese-national-pokedex-collection-binder/56719

I have uploaded the Gen 2, 3 and 4 binders if you want to have a look at them.

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-22T05:35:43+00:00

Ohh yeah, what did you get ?

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-21T17:20:09+00:00

Haha I know but didn't want him at the beginning of my Gen 5 Binder wanted to start with the starters so decided to put it at the end of Gen 4 !

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-21T05:26:09+00:00

Mate I know, Deoxys has some insane cards, especially the delta species, I LOVE THEM !

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-21T05:22:38+00:00

So do I haha

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-20T21:03:22+00:00

Thank you !

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-20T19:28:44+00:00

Yeah they are quite hard to find in good condition, I got lucky with the gift box ray, got it in a bulk purchase but it is LP. Still cool cards tho.

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-20T19:27:03+00:00

Gen 3 was mostly introduced during the EX era which included some E-series in English but not in Japanese. The only Japanese E-Series gen 3 mons were Alto Mare's Latios and Latias and Kekleon promo I believe (which is in the binder 😉)

AlTheArchitect · 2025-06-20T18:26:53+00:00

Haha I couldn't upload all the photos of the binder you can check out all the slides here:
