Very Cool Set
on January 20, 2025
Posted by: kgoodrich
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really cool mix between a toy play set and a collectible set. Nice design and interface between the interchangeable discs. Would be great for an older collector to display or for a kid to imagine with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall a fun build
on January 20, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was definitely fun to build, but when compared to a traditional lego set, it did have some very key differences. I will say that the first thing I noticed was that the instruction book was very thorough and easy to follow. I did like that it used different colors to distinguish where pieces should go. I will say these pieces were significantly harder to clip together compared to a traditional lego build and my kids did have some difficulty building it.

One step closer to catching them all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not sure what to make of the Kanto Region Pokedex building set as Pokemon has never been my thing. I personally cannot tell the 1st evolution of a Squirtle from the third evolution of a Charmander. But my son and wife are both Pokemaniacs (Pokemoniacs?) and we all love building sets, so I thought we would give it a go.
The set has 322 pieces spread across six bags. The first three bags correspond to the back cover of the Pokedex, with the final three bags yielding the front cover and display stand. The instructions have detailed illustrations that use multicolored highlights to identify the studs being connected in each step. My role was to find the pieces used in each step whereas my son was the “engineer” putting it all together. One feature I really appreciated was the absence of stickers often used to add detail to blocks. Instead, the details are part of the pieces themselves. Thank you Mattel for eliminating the worst part of building sets - the painstaking process of aligning and centering images. All told, it took us a little over 2 hours to put it all together, and the final result feels substantial.
The set has a few key features that really set it apart. First, there is a functional hinge that allows the Pokedex to open and close. Next, there is a power block that illuminates a piece on the front when pressed. Finally, there is a set of five lenticular cards corresponding to Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, and Eevee that can be displayed one at a time. Swapping these pieces involves removing a small panel in the back, pushing the current card out, snapping a new one in, and replacing the panel. This is not something my son wants to do constantly, but only when he is in the mood for a specific Pokemon.
The inclusion of a stand to display the Pokedex is a nice plus. When open, the Pokemon shifts as you view it from different positions. In addition, the Pokemon cards not in use store neatly in the back.
All told, this was a fun set to assemble and yielded a solid piece to display alongside my son’s other building sets.

Fun afternoon activity - great set
on January 13, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a lot of fun with this toy! The instructions were very clear and the whole set was very unique - it came with a light up brick which we've never seen before. The whole thing hinges open and close and the moving screen pieces are interchangeable. It didn't take too long to finish and when it was done there was a nice stand to display the build along with storage for the extra screens. As always, the pieces were in numbered bags making assembly and piece location simple - great set!

Pokemon pokedex
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: Pigmadillo vs Skeleton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the Pokemon Pokedex was a blast to build and play with. The instructions were easy to follow for my son. There was a piece missing but was not essential to play with. The character pieces that were provided were a plus! All of his favorites! This would be great for a young builder that loves to display the finished product. The light that is included adds a finishing touch.

Fun Semi-Interactive Pokedex
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: Maxie42
from O'Fallon MO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a fan of Pokémon, and I have always wanted a real Pokedex. While this is not a real one of course, it does look very nice on my shelf in my office. It was really fun to put together and didn't take very long at all. The pieces all connected well and it feels very sturdy and will be able to take a tumble from kids playing with it. I really like the moving image slides, makes it seem almost real.

Really fun brick set for the Pokémon lover
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: Kendragrace23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the set and my daughter was so excited as she loves everything brick building. Well, she’s not a huge Pokémon fan. She really enjoyed the overall build. Her biggest frustration was that the pictures In the instruction booklet didn’t necessarily look like the bricks In real life so that got her very frustrated. Being almost 9 I thought she would do OK, but it’s definitely for a little bit more experienced brick builder. Overall, the finished product is pretty awesome and interactive, which was even cooler.

Good building you for Pokémon fans

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hit the mark, mega blocks and Pokémon in one. For a child that likes building and all things Poke you won’t be disappointed. It comes with extra character plates and I liked the touch of the glowing block to indicate the item is “powered” on.
