Lego Pokémon Smart Play Makes Battles From Bricks Feel Like the Games

Engadget's Sam Rutherford previews Lego's Pokémon Smart Play line, praising interactive Smart Bricks that animate Pokémon, enable two‑Pokémon battles with type advantages and HP, let you feed them and heal them with potions, and train them with compatible gear; the sets lean into the video game roots rather than Star Wars, feature classic 151 plus later-gen Pokémon, and range from $15 to $120, hitting shelves on August 1; while some faces look blocky, the overall experience translates Pokémon into a magical brick‑built play world.

Lego's Smart Play Bricks Fall Short on Sound and Value

Early hands-on with Lego's Star Wars Smart Play sets shows the bricks' lights and talking sounds largely underdeliver, with generic engine noises and warbling voice samples; the steep entry price (from about $70 for a starter set to around $140–$160 for additional bricks) makes the value proposition doubtful, threatening the technology's momentum unless iteration improves.
