Not sure if this counts but as a kid Charmander was my favourite. Shit taste I know, but I used to have loads of Charmander plushes and toys. I fucking loved the little shit.
Anyway, when I was around 7 on holiday to spain, a store near our hotel sold these little plastic Pokeballs with candy and a random gen 1 Pokemon in them. I pestered my dad every day to get me one, and each time I opened it hoping for a Charmander, I would end up getting something else. My dad got sick of me complaining and went into the shop and checked the air holes in each pokeball to find one that had Charmander in and bought that one for me.
I loved this Charmander toy and brought it everywhere with me.
Over the years it has been;
>Dropped down a grid and my dad fished it out with chewing gum on a stick
>Buried on the beach and I spent hours digging up the sand to find it
>Swallowed by my dog, and eventually shat out
>Lost on a load of other occasions that I don't even remember
I somehow still have the toy to this day, 17 years later. It looks like shit but I still have it.
