Lego Pokémon Smart Play Hands-On: A Better Way To Build, Train And Battle

Engadget went hands-on with Lego’s upcoming Pokémon Smart Play sets ahead of their launch this weekend.

The sets combine buildable Pokémon with Smart Brick features that trigger sounds, sleep, battles, healing, and training.

The lineup includes Pokémon from different generations, plus themed scenes and accessories, extending Lego’s interactive play concept beyond Star Wars.

The collaboration highlights Lego’s push into toy-game hybrids that echo Pokémon’s collecting, battling, and training gameplay.
