Collecting pokemon figures

[Kenji]

I originally bought one hundred pokemon figures from www.LDUcompany.com but they say there are over 400 different kinds. They have one wholesale lot of 440 at this page http://www.liangdianup.com/inventory/109933.htm

Are there really that many different monsters? Every place I look says a different total number. Even the official pokemon website says a different total then some posters that I have seen. Is this a growing number? Do they even have this cartoon anymore?

Yes, it's a growing number. When a new generation of games comes out, it brings new pokemon.

As for the anime, I haven't watched it for years, but I think it's still going.

Welcome to TPM, Kenji, but please be careful with the links you post. It's hard to tell whether your post is an honest question or a disguised advertisement.

Here's the number of pokemon for each generation:

1st generation (debuted in 1998 in the US) - 151
2nd (2000) - 251
3rd (2003) - 386
4th and current (2007) - 493
