When I was a student, my English teachers hated anyone using the word "got".
However as Peachey says, we still need to hear a verb there and "got" is so appealing.

You can understand "I've got" as "I have". The problem with "I've" is that the verb ("have") is being literally eaten by the subject ("I"). We still need to hear a verb in the sentence, and "got" works fine.

"got" is extra
