Lego Pokémon Devs Talk Smart Brick and What's Next
Lego Pokémon's design director and senior interaction designer look back on the theme's first six months, discussing the divisive Smart Brick, adult-focused sets, and future plans.
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of Lego Pokémon? Six months in, the theme's design director and senior interaction designer have opened up about how it's all going.
The duo sat down to reflect on the first half-year of Lego Pokémon, covering everything from the sets aimed at adult fans to the tech that's split the community right down the middle.
That would be the Smart Brick, the interactive element that's proven pretty divisive among builders. Some love the added layer of play, others aren't so sure. Either way, it's clearly a big part of the conversation around the theme right now.
Beyond the tech, the team also touched on sets designed with adult fans in mind. It's a reminder that Lego Pokémon isn't just for kids — grown-up collectors have plenty to sink their teeth into.
And of course, there's the question everyone wants answered: what's next? The designers teased future plans for the theme, though details remain under wraps for now.
Six months is still early days for any Lego theme, so it'll be interesting to see how Lego Pokémon evolves from here — especially with the Smart Brick still sparking debate.
What do you think of the Smart Brick? Are you building Lego Pokémon sets, or waiting to see what comes next?
