>>11374302The ideal approach for the first year or so would be to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks including:
Bowser-Scale versions of Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur
Creator 3-in-1 sets for each of the Kanto starters where you can build into each form
Pikachu in the style of 31163 for extra playability
Brick-built Legendary Pokemon with display plaque
Mixels-scale versions of the starter Pokemon
Minifigure sets focused on the gym battles featuring a mix of molded and brick-built Pokemon
D2C Pokemon Centre
Buildable display Pokeball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Master Ball
CMF Series featuring iconic characters potentially with their unique Pokemon
Tie-in set for Pokemon Legends A-Z
Etc...
We really need to get a clear idea of what they can do with the theme and they need to get a sense of what people would want from them with a Lego Pokemon theme.
