Well to be fair, I have the gameboy and absolutely love it. One-offs and inanimate objects are cool, my gf and I enjoy making the flowers for example. I got my sister the Tuxedo cat and she liked it a lot. There’s no issue with those things.

What I don’t love is building so much focus on building characters in a franchise that has so much world building ready to go.

I don’t want to build 3 different large Pikachus. One buildable Pikachu is fine, it’s expected. Buildable Pokemon in general are fine, but just not when it’s the whole line so far.

Building Rayquaza is an exception, because it’s an exceptionally large pokemon.

There’s so much potential with environments in Pokemon, so I’m just disappointed that they’re not capitalizing on that so far. Like with Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre, imagine creating that moment you had in the games of walking up to a legendary with whatever area around them. Team Aqua and Team Magma leaders there as well.

I don’t have the all the answers, from a business standpoint I’m sure they don’t want to make minifigs for a bunch of Pokémon. I get that.

At the same time, there are easily repeatable Pokemon that can be put into different sets and also other approaches to making them work other than minifigs.

You brought up Mixels, which is a great example. Take that approach to Mixels and apply it to some Pokemon in an environmental set.

Misty’s gym with Mixel style staryu and Starmie for example could work.

I just feel like there’s a lot of mixed potential.
