Lego has chosen Pikachu (Lego)A new line of Pokmon themed Lego sets have been announced, with a multi-year deal that is going to cost fans dearly.Not only do Lego and Nintendo get on very well but its amusing that theyre both quite similar companies, beloved by their fans but notorious for their secrecy and insistence on doing things their way.Their first partnership was for the ongoing Super Mario line of Lego sets, which rather than just being recreations of scenes from specific games, with ordinary brick built minifigures, involve giant-sized Bluetooth figures and customisable courses.Theyve also dabbled with sets aimed at adults, such as the upcoming Mario Kart model, as well as a 2-in-1 Legend Of Zelda creation, and a whole line dedicated to Animal Crossing. And now its the turn of Pokmon.How many other Nintendo franchises might be turned into official Lego sets is difficult to say but in some cases it seems theres been a delay because theyve licensed the property out to other companies first.For a few years there were Mario Kart sets for KNex and, over the years, there have been officially licensed Pokmon sets for both Nanoblock and Mega Bloks.Inevitably, they werent very good but even though its The Pokmon Company that organises merchandise for Pokmon, not Nintendo, theyve been brought into the fold and a line of Pokmon sets will be coming out in 2026, as part of a new multi-year deal.None of them have been revealed yet but the teaser video above clearly shows Pikachus tail. As if there was any doubt that hed be one of the first to show up.Mega Bloks toys tended to be brick-built versions of the most popular pokmon, including Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, but theres no clue as to what direction Lego may take other than theres likely to be some sort of twist to it.This new partnership will bring the world of Pokmon to life in entirely new ways, allowing fans to build beloved Pokmon in Lego brick form, says Lego.More TrendingFor the first time, the Lego Group will be bringing the most loved Pokmon to life in a brand-new way, with play experiences that will delight new and existing fans alike.While a Generation X video game sequel is likely to be announced by 2026, if not released, the sets wont necessarily have anything to do with that.The recently released Mario Kart sub-line is based solely on Mario Kart 8, in part because new Lego sets take a surprisingly long time to design and produce just like video games.There could be some connection to this years Pokmon Legends: Z-A but more likely Lego will, at least at first, go for the obvious iconic pokmon and locations. Or maybe theyll opt for something more outside the box, like the fan creation below. This fan-made set looks really neat (The Brothers Brick/Grant Davis)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.GameCentralSign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
