Our Story

My journey with Pokémon began when I was just 4 years old, watching Ash & Pikachu's adventures every day on Toasted TV before school, cementing a lifelong passion. My own adventure kicked off on Christmas Day in 2004 when my Grandmother gifted me a Gameboy Advance SP along with my first game: Pokémon FireRed (choosing Charmander of course). Since then, I have invested countless hours into the video games, completing playthroughs across every generation.

The Pokémon TCG was an early love in primary school, playing and trading with friends at recess & lunch. After a break in high school & university, I excitedly rediscovered the TCG in 2024 following the release of TCG Pocket. Now an avid collector of singles, slabs, and sealed product, I love to share my passion with my friends, fellow collectors and Pokemon enthusiasts.

Founding Red's Trading Co. in 2025, based in Melbourne, Australia; this store is my way of sharing my passion with you. I will be vending at card shows across Melbourne, as well as running this online store. I am dedicated to helping fellow fans find the cards and products they need to fuel their passion for the greatest franchise in the world.

Cheers, Red.
