Welcome to IGN’s Rare Loot! We’re on a quest to uncover pop culture's ultimate holy grail collectibles.

In this episode, we’re on the hunt for the legendary Nintendo 64 Pikachu Edition. This special edition console was released in 2000, near the end of the N64’s lifecycle, to coincide with the immense popularity of the Pokémon franchise. The console features a three-dimensional Pikachu sculpted on top, a power switch shaped like a Poké Ball, and a reset button located on Pikachu's foot. Best of all, when you turn on the console, Pikachu's cheeks light up.

We also discovered a rare complete-in-box copy of Pokémon Stadium. Developed by Game Freak for the Nintendo 64, Pokémon Stadium allowed players to battle all 151 Gen I Pokémon. The game came bundled with a Transfer Pak, an accessory that enabled you to play Pokémon Red, Blue, or Yellow on your TV using the Game Boy Tower Mode.

Plus, we found a rare Base Set Charizard from the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Pokémon TCG was first released on October 20, 1996, in Japan by a company called Media Factory and on January 9, 1999, in the U.S. by Wizards of the Coast. The Base Set included 102 cards based on Game Freak’s hit Game Boy games, Pokémon Red and Blue, which were known in Japan as Pokémon Red and Green. The Charizard card, numbered 4 out of 102, features artwork by the legendary Mitsuhiro Arita and is one of the most recognizable Pokémon cards of all time.

Thanks so much to NHTSA for coming along on this ride, and for reminding us about the dangers of driving distracted. Collecting can be a fun hobby, but one thing you don’t want to collect is a ticket. Driving while using a cell phone can have life-changing consequences. It’s not long before you can cause a crash, get a ticket, veer off the road, or kill someone. So remember, put the Phone Away or Pay.
