Of course the whole team will be added. I'm also planning on making a big Team rocket mech. Any sugestions so far?

[SilentMode]

Very, very good effort so far! What kind of paint did you use to paint the various elements?

If you can get hold of some S2 or even S3 maracas, you could possibly use those to create "pokéballs".

[Geki Brick]

I dig* everything else, but the Pikachu without a face is bugging me. I think you need to give it a face.

Maybe you were planning to do this already, but: Brock, Misty, Gary, Meowth figures would be a nice start.

Oh yeah, and for gym badges maybe studs.

You could make Pokeballs out of studs too.

Nice work on the James and Jessie Figures

It still amazes me even now that there has never been a Lego Pokemon theme

[Wout]

Oh Noes!

It's Ash Ketchup.

Pokemon was never a favourite series of mine, but these are very good mods.

[lightningtiger]

Excellent custom minifigs, but Jessie is totally spot-on especially the facial expression.

But pardon me saying so, but this shouldn't be posted in this theme, as Lego hasn't done any sets for Pokemon.......maybe in the Sci-Fi area, but I guess if a MOD doesn't want it here they'll move it.

In any case, great work and keep saying 'in your face !' (Team Rocket)

[XimenaPaulina]

I'm lovin' these custom Pokemon figs! You did a really good job on getting the accurate looks of Ash and Team Rocket. I see the baseball cap fits quite well for Ash's patented cap. The brickbuilt Pikachu is nicely done too. Can't wait to see the completion of this MOC (with Brock, Misty, Meowth, others), good job so far Joris!

There was a Mega Bloks Pokemon Theme more information here and Tomy made some "block" like sets. I have a pic from one I saw on ebay here (when moderated).

I guess pokemon just isn't popular enough in their major markets. At least not to the manic extents it once was.

[Cpt. Dan]

This is awesome. I would have loved a pokemon line about 10 years ago when I was a kid. I still think that game is pretty neat.

[prateek]

Very good! I like Jesse and James' hair, and the Ash custom is very cleanly executed. I can't wait to see what you add on to this, as I see a lot of empty space. Maybe some bushes, and Meowth would be nice.

Yes I know of those but I meant a proper theme not using Mega Blocks

[KyleJohnson11]

That is awesome! I love it. I do agree, if you cam find a way to put a face on Pikachu that would look sweet!

[Peppermint_M]

If you can find the instruction you could make the pretty cool brick built legendaries.

...Or you could make pokeballs out of these and paint them with red and black detail

They look surprisingly good.

Oh, I didn't know those were official buy-able sets! For the longest time I thought they were very good customs (as I searched on Google Images), and indeed they do look excellent. I really like that Giratina.

[xavierion]

i love lego,i love pokemon.i wish it was a set..anyway NICE!!

[MrLestrange]

I'm not a Pokemon fan, but that lego is really good :D

[autobrick]

I've never been a fan of the Pokemon animated series, but the handheld RPG series are simply superb. I think having a licensed Pokemon/Nintendo theme would have great potential. There are a lot of iconic characters and locations, along with a gigantic fanbase that would support it.

As for the MOC, I think you've captured Ash, Jesse and James' look very well, but in my opinion James' hair looks a bit funny. Pikachu looks good, considering you are limited to such a small size in order to keep in scale. Keep it up!

[Shadows]

Some nice work there.

Since this is not an official LEGO theme however, I'll go ahead and move it to Other Themes where we discuss such things.

I suggest you don't make the mech a Steelix, I tried making just his head to scale with minifigs and it was gonna cost like $70 alone!

I say make a Wobbuffet mech (good luck finding light blue legos though xD), who doesn't love that blue blob! Wobba!

[KingDom]

I think a white stud on a red stud would be suitable for a pokeball IMO.
