We’ve already seen LEGO cross over with Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing, but it’s now been announced that another Nintendo-related property is getting the same treatment – that being Pokemon.

Earlier today, a video was posted by LEGO Mexico on Facebook before it was quickly pulled. During that period when it was available, fans were able to preserve it in full. While it doesn’t show much, Pikachu is teased in LEGO form. It’s a quick clip, though it’s nonetheless clear that we’re getting LEGO Pokemon sets in the future. It’s now confirmed that this will all kick off in 2026.

Here’s that video in full:

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

As the franchise celebrates its 29th anniversary today, The Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara has reflected on the future. This comes as part of an interview with BBC.

Pokemon has maintained its popularity since its Japanese debut in 1996. Even over the past few years, it’s clear that interest isn’t waning. We’ve seen the smash hit that was Pokemon GO, the craze over Pokemon cards, and the dedicated video games are still selling incredibly well.

Pokemon Day 2025 predictions

Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments

With Pokemon Day 2025 approaching, we’ve got some predictions for the big event.

Pokemon Day just around the corner, and every time February 27 comes around there’s always a Pokemon Presents to go with it. Last year’s presentation revealed the existence of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, details on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Raid events, and updates on The Pokemon Company’s other ongoing games. While the 2025 Pokemon Presents will probably be more of that (minus Scarlet and Violet, most likely), it’s a good time to toss out some predictions before the Pokemon hype cycle begins.

Completing the National Pokedex in 2025 is almost impossible – the toughest Pokemon to catch

Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments

We’ve been in the late era of the original Nintendo Switch’s life span for a good while now, which means it’s as good a time as any to work on a Pokedex. At the time of writing, there are a whopping 1,025 existing Pokemon, and the only way to hoard ’em all at once is to put them in Pokemon Home. To be clear, I’d finished my “Living Dex” a long while ago – but to fill the time between Nintendo’s official releases, I decided to redo my entire Living Dex – but with every Pokemon caught in a standard Poke Ball and with my OT (which means traded Pokemon don’t count towards it). If you don’t know this already, a Living Dex is when you have every single Pokemon in the game stored in your boxes. That means the entire evolutionary line, and in my case, every gender difference and form difference for each Pokemon as well.

Working on a Living Dex in 2025 made me realize how absurdly difficult it is to complete this task in 2025. Having completed all of the main series Pokemon games, this was much easier for me than for someone just starting a Living Dex project. But today, I’ll explain what the toughest Pokemon to obtain for Living Dex purposes are and how to go about obtaining them in the easiest way. Surprisingly, there are also a lot of Pokemon that cannot legitimately be caught in a standard Poke Ball along with your OT. We’ll be going over those too.

Fans are always anticipating a Pokemon Presents presentation to go along with Pokemon Day, and it looks like another event is planned for 2025.

X user mattyoukhana_ conducted a Pokemon GO datamine and noticed a particular piece of code that has now appeared. It’s pretty clear that based on what’s stated, we’re on tap for a new Pokemon Presents 2025 broadcast on Pokemon Day. Obviously that isn’t surprising given what’s happened in years past, but we’ll take it regardless.
