LEGO Pokémon Divides Fans as Eevee Wins Hearts and Pikachu Sparks Debate
Good evening and tonight we’re taking a closer look at a crossover many fans have dreamed about for years. LEGO has officially pulled back the curtain on its first wave of Pokémon sets and the reaction has been anything but quiet.
This new lineup brings some of the most iconic Pokémon into LEGO form. Pikachu, Eevee, Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and even a classic Poké Ball are all part of the launch. Preorders are already open, with sets arriving in early March and for LEGO insiders, even sooner. On paper, it sounds like a guaranteed win. In reality, fans are sharply divided.

The biggest conversation centers on Pikachu. LEGO’s flagship set pairs Pikachu with a buildable Poké Ball and it’s a large, premium build with a premium price to match. But many longtime fans say something feels off. The design looks blockier than expected and Pikachu’s face, in particular, has drawn criticism for looking awkward and overly angular. Some fans are openly comparing it to older Pikachu builds from Mega Bloks, saying those versions captured the character’s shape and personality more naturally.
At the same time, not everything is getting heat. Eevee has emerged as the surprise favorite. Smaller, more affordable and much more accurate in shape, the Eevee set is being praised as charming, stable and true to the character fans know and love. Many are calling it the best example of how LEGO should approach Pokémon designs going forward.
Then there’s the massive trio set featuring Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise. With thousands of pieces and a very high price tag, it’s clearly aimed at adult collectors. Visually, though, it’s earning respect. Fans say the designs look compact, expressive and far more natural than Pikachu’s solo build. The cost has raised eyebrows, but the craftsmanship is winning people over, especially with the added bonus of a Kanto Region badge display included as a gift.
This debate highlights something bigger. Pokémon fans care deeply about accuracy, personality and value. LEGO is stepping into a space where expectations are already set by past toy lines and comparisons are unavoidable. Still, this is just the beginning of LEGO’s Pokémon journey. More sets are expected and future waves could refine what works and rethink what doesn’t.
For now, the message from fans is clear. Eevee shows what’s possible, Pikachu shows where improvement is needed and the battle between bricks and nostalgia is far from over. That’s the latest and we’ll be watching closely as this story continues.
