Exciting news for Pokémon trainers everywhere: Today, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International announced a new multi-year partnership that will bring LEGO® Pokémon™ to fans for the first time from 2026.

Pokémon first debuted as a videogame in 1996 before being developed further as an animated series and trading card game. This partnership seems set to launch in time for the 30th anniversary year. While the world might not quite return to the lofty heights of the Pokémania of the early 2000s, the property now has a transgeneration fanbase – something to be enjoyed by adults and children alike, with many of the same nostalgic feels that come along when your childhood favourites obtain new lease of life in your adult years.
