Lego doing sets for the Pokemon theme has been something people have always wished to happen. So much potential of what they can do. With that said, I need to see more to get fully onboard with this. It's very easy for them to just pick a certain type of audience with this theme and risk missing out on a lot of opportunities. We need to get a clear sense of how they are tackling the theme.

The ideal approach for the first year or so would be to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks including:

• Bowser-Scale versions of Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur
• Creator 3-in-1 sets for each of the Kanto starters where you can build into each form
• Pikachu in the style of 31163 for extra playability
• Brick-built Legendary Pokemon with display plaque
• Mixel-scale versions of the starter Pokemon
• Minifigure sets focused on the gym battles featuring a mix of molded and brick-built Pokemon
• D2C Pokemon Centre
• Buildable display Pokeball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Master Ball
• CMF Series featuring iconic characters potentially with their unique Pokemon
• Tie-in set for Pokemon Legends A-Z
• Etc...

We really need to get a clear idea of what they can do with the theme and they need to get a sense of what people would want from them with a Lego Pokemon theme.

From the trailer I'm getting the vibe of brick-built Pokemon in the style of Mixels. I'm a bit concerned if that is the case as if they ever did minifigure trainers it would'nt fit well. I'm not expecting every Pokemon to be in-scale, but it'd be neat to have a Pikachu that scales well with a trainer or other iconic Pokemon for similar reasons such as Charizard. I think if we are going brick-built Pokemon, some of the more iconic ones would need to be eventually given a molded scalable version that could pair with the trainer.

I'm hoping for a larger Pikachu (in the scale of 43247 Young Simba typically!) with a sound brick to enhance the fun!
