Who are you?
One of the OGs of pkmncollectors. Most people around the internet call me Cally which is a very affectionate name based off an old character of mine, but you can also call me cacodemum. Many people from the days of yesteryear from pkmncollectors or collectorviper would know me as viper.fox.

Outside of merchandise, I'm currently working on a shiny living dex in the games.

What is 「あさのひざし」/ Morning Sun?
It used to be the signature move of Espeon, but has found place amongst a very select few Pokémon who can learn it naturally 7 generations after it was introduced; a fitting move that is a part of Slither Wing's repertoire. Following on from how I settled into beak BLAST for my Toucannon site I figured it was a fitting name for this place as well.

What started your collection?
The games, of course. It helps that Pokecen likes to use and abuse my wallet. Slither Wing is the absolute joy of this generation for me, and that's a huge statement given there were a LOT of good Pokémon I really adore from Paldea, but I am a simple creature. Mof.

How long have you been collecting?
For over 25 years if you're looking at my collections across the board outside of Pokémon alone. I used to have the largest Japanese TCG collection in Oceania before my passion for it fizzled out, along with my health making it very hard to keep up with cataloguing and even affording sets when Sun & Moon era began. I also used to have one of the most complete Pokédoll collections including a number of it's precursor Plush Plush (ぬいぐるみのぬいぐるみ) releases from 2001, and have also had some of the most complete collections of Arceus and Giratina items before moving on from those as well.

Why are your catalogue names for items in both English and Japanese?
It's partially a habit from my dual-language tagging on Viperhazard, but it's just smart given 99% of merch for the series comes from Japan. Providing dual names for things may make it easier for others to search for said items if they are a fellow Toucannon afficionado.


If you have any questions you'd like to ask me, about either myself, the collection as a whole, or any specific items, please feel free to contact me.
I can be reached on BlueSky, via email, or on discord which are all linked on the landing page.
