I've spent a LOT of money on the series - at least 5 digits every year since 2005 except this past year during which the only thing I've bought retail was the PBP and even that begrudgingly.
I doubt I'm anywhere close to number one - especially with retards who play Go existing and buying shitty MTX - but it wouldn't surprise me to find out I'm top 20 or so in the world (might even be 10 if I collected more of the plushies, but I've never felt the same drive to collect them - probably because Beanie Babies fill that role for me).
I am probably something like third in the world for most hours played though, I'd wager, with at least something like 7.2 years minimum thus far (and maybe number one for hours played in Emerald where I've had more than a dozen 999:59+ saves).
I don't have pictures of my collection though. My collections are for me with no intent to ever sell them and I also don't want them stolen so they're mostly stored safely away. All I've got with me is the stuff I actually use (which, to be fair, is a lot especially in terms of pure monetary value/money sunk - just stealing my main 3DS - of 8 - would see you having about 2500 of software and hardware - but it's still only a fraction of the stuff I actually have). I've posted the stuff I have nearby but I'm too lazy right now to do it.
All that said, I guess I might be number one here, but places like this tend to attract autists like me so I wouldn't put any money on that.
