WORLDS COLLIDE! LEGO Partners with POKÉMON! OFFICIAL!!!!

Get ready for some fantastic news, Pokémon Trainers! 

It has finally happened-- LEGO and Pokémon are officially partnering up with sets slated for release in 2026. The LEGO and Pokémon partnership is the perfect mash-up to celebrate Pokémon's 30th anniversary of the Japanese debut. 

As LEGO fans,  this is a dream come true, but as life-long fans of Pokémon, it is hard to put into words the excitement we feel. Okay, we means, myself and my sons. My husband, eh, he's excited, but he is definitely worrying about how it's going to affect our bank account. Can you blame him? 

Oh, the possibilities for this collection are insurmountable! Here are some ideas below!

• Pokémon Center diarama with Chansey & Nurse Joy Minifigures 
• Brickheadz collection features all of the Kanto starter Pokémon - Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, also including Pikachu and Eeeve
• Minifigures collection in blind boxes featuring the first 25 Pokémon's first forms
• Pokédex build with sounds

According to the promo announcement, we have yellow LEGO bricks clicking together to create Pikachu's tail. This has my my mind racing and think of the Super Mario & Yoshi set mixed with the Running Pikachu MEGA set. 

I asked GEMINI AI to create some LEGO Pokémon sets for me. The results aren't too bad! 

Charizard doesn't look too bad!

Poor Chansey has two eggs to carry now! 

I asked AI to create a Pokémon a Pokédex, and this was the result!

AI LEGO BrickheeeeadZ

If we had Pokémon LEGO minifigures, I wouldn't mind them looking a little like this! 

Um, this would be epic! Not sure about that weird-looking Vulpix-style minifigure on the roof though. 

Last but not least, this actually looks awesome! 

The possibilities are endless for this collection. Let me know in the comments what you think should included in the LEGO x Pokémon release?
