Ever gotten any Pokémon-related gifts from others?

E4+W teams have been given held items based on recommendations from Pokemon Showdown and Smogon. Any pokemon that could Mega Evolve has has its evolutionite stone taken away.
 
Yes, a couple bits of merchandise here and there as well as a Pokemon game once or twice.
The oldest I can remember is when I got Pokemon Yellow for my birthday like a year after it's release ^.^
 
- One of my very first Pokémon toys (if not my first) came from my aunt: a Squirtle candy dispenser. I also remember her giving me a Mewtwo figure and gold-plated Pikachu card from Burger King. She'd also give my cousin and I Pokémon cards (including bootleg sticker cards when she worked across from a restaurant that had them) whenever she'd visit and got us each a classic Pokédex for Christmas one year.

- I remember Dad bringing home the first movie on VHS and my parents getting me Prima's TCG Strategy guide, with pics of all the Base Set and Jungle cards since we couldn't afford actual cards. They also got me an electric Mew plush I miss terribly and nearly all of my video games. Dad also used to do a fair bit of trading and would always give me first dibs at any Pokémon stuff he'd get (like a Pikachu Game Boy case, Pocket Pikachu2, and a bag of unopened TOMY figures).

- Uncle got me a Charizard pen for Christmas

- My grandpa chipped in with me on a Pikachu plush but told me I couldn't open it until Easter. I opened it anyway, arguing that I paid for most of it, but Mom still purloined it from my room to put in my Easter basket that year. Grandparents also got me the second movie on VHS, IIRC. Years later, grandpa also gave me a box of Pokémon pogs he found.

- A classmate in high school gave me a few Pokémon cards (a Magneton, Raikou, and Feraligatr, IIRC).

- Moving on from Pokémon himself, my cousin gave me nearly all of his Pokéstuff, some of which I'd given him back when I started middle school. He also bought me a Sitting Cuties Dunsparce a couple years ago. His mom, gets me Pokémon stuff whenever she finds it in thrift stores (so far she's given me a Chimchar, Charizard, Leafeon, and Bulbasaur plush, two or three shirts, and an Eevee hat).

- A younger cousin who wasn't into Pokémon used to give me any Pokémon items he'd come across, including McDonald's toys, a Pikachu plush, and even a Pokémon Monopoly game.

- My sister got me a couple Pokémon shirts and made me a couple featuring Dunsparce. She also made me two wooden Dunsparce figures (one normal, one Shiny). She also got me a Charmander plush and some old handbooks and strategy guides.

- Almost everyone above has given me Pokémon cards for Christmas/birthdays.

- I've also received a few pieces of digital art.

Many times! When you're obsessed with Pokémon it makes gift buying remarkably easy for others, haha. Honestly, it's kind of too much to list out, since pretty much everything before the age of 12 was gifted to me.

Some of the stuff that really sticks with me now are the shiny Pokémon and fan art I've been gifted over PC. (♡°▽°♡)
 
Most of my Pokemon games I got as a gift. I also got a Pokeball with a Marill trading card inside as a gift.
 
A few times, yes! My friends know how much I love Pokemon.
-plushies: Mudkip, Eevee, Sylveon, Piplup, Bulbasaur keychain, and a silver Pikachu (these were all from different people)
-plush Eevee ears headband
-this little mini comic book (not a manga) about a Pikachu on a quest to find the best joke to cheer up his buddy Mudkip
-other things that I can't think of right now
 
When I was little and first got into Pokemon, I got a huge Pikachu Pillow from the like 90s when pokemon was just getting massively popular. I had it for a long time.

I have a few other from Easter Baskets, which is why I got a lot of pokemon stuff as well, namely I remember getting Pokemon Crystal for Easter. I also got Ruby and Sapphire for Christmas one year. The plushies I got were a Lucario and Grovyl.

My uncle got me an old TCG Box Set one time for my birthday. I don't remember exactly what TCG Set it was, but it was in the Johto Era. (I think it is actually how I got my old Shining Tyranitar EX... wish I still had it....)

I got Pokemon Master Quest and Pokemon Monopoly for that birthday as well.

And the last one I can remember is a lime green Pokemon Lunchbox from 2001/2002 that my mother got me for school. It had a Donphan, Gligar, and Elekid on it and the reason those three pokemon are some of my favorites. (I am on a quest to get this lunch box back, but it is near impossible to find online. I think I've only found one on ebay before.)

Over the years, I'm sure I've gotten a lot more gifts from someone, but these are the ones I can remember. I myself have given an Eevee and Dedenne plushie to my niece when she was a few years old. I haven't gotten a pokemon inspired present in a very long time though, mostly because I don't get gifts from people anymore.

This is too cute! I feel like I may've also had a Pokémon lunch box given to me by my parents as a kid now too, but can't remember exactly what kind. Guess a quest to find what it was is in order. -sweats-
 
My most recent Pokemon related gift from another person was last year when my family got a Nintendo Switch and then I got Pokemon Shield for my birthday.
That being said, I really don't like the Nintendo Switch. I only played it and even asked for a game for it just to be polite to my grandmother who spent probably $400 on the switch. But honestly, I really like the DS better than the Switch and think my grandmother should have saved her money. My eight other siblings fight over the switch all the time and it's absolutely crazy.
