Two of the biggest brands in the world have just confirmed their long-awaited collaboration, with LEGO Pokémon sets around the corner.

LEGO had already branched into making sets for games, including several Nintendo properties such as Super Mario, Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing.

But while those were all incredibly well-received, there was always one glaring omission, and one that fans from both sides of the aisle were eager for.

The collaboration was announced on social media with a video featuring various LEGO pieces assembling to form a Pikachu tail.

This teaser arrived in tandem with a new page on the official LEGO website officially confirming the collaboration.

Naturally, questions were immediately asked about when these Pokémon sets would release, and unfortunately, we're a little light on information in this regard.

"Electrify your imagination in 2026 and get ready to build something we've never built with LEGO bricks before," reads the Pokémon page on the LEGO website.

Sadly, we also don't know anything about what will actually be included in the sets, as the aforementioned Pikachu tail is the only thing we've been shown so far.

That being said, we can make a few predictions based on LEGO's other gaming sets.

We would expect to see a few larger sets of certain particularly popular Pokémon, such as Pikachu or Charizard.

It also seems likely that there would be some sets featuring specific locations from the world of Pokémon.

These could be anything from Pokémon Gyms to caves, forests or even certain towns from the games.

Lastly, we would be shocked if there wasn't at least one Poké Ball set available, and there are undoubtedly plenty of people that would splash out to buy all the different variations of Poké Balls from the games if they were available.

Unsurprisingly, fan reactions to the reveal were hugely positive, with many fans even suggesting that perhaps a LEGO Pokémon game could one day be on the cards - fingers crossed!
