Pokémon is No Longer for Kids

On January 12th, 2026, LEGO and The Pokémon Company announced their first official collaboration. Three sets. Eevee for $60. Pikachu for $200. And Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise together for $650. Six hundred and fifty dollars. For plastic bricks. Shaped like creatures from a video game that costs 70 dollars and is rated E for Everyone. I know, in my heart, I shouldn’t need to do a video explaining how this is a bad thing. Like most of you who see this are likely going to agree with me; this is absurd. But we need to cover it here, because this thing is going to sell out. We know it’s And the commercial—oh, the commercial is beautiful. It shows a millennial at a desk. Surrounded by bills and taxes. The crushing weight of adult responsibility. And then the escapism into building LEGO Pokémon. Nostalgia washes over them. They're a kid again. They're happy. The unspoken message? "Hey, remember when you were happy? Remember when life was simple? Well, you can buy that feeling back. It's only $650. Forget about paying your bills. Buy plastic pocket monsters instead." • • • Try the Wizard's Hot Cocoa https://FakeWizard.com • • • Discover NEW Games from Indie Developers Visit https://FakePortal.com • • • Get Connected: ⤿ Instagram:   / reallifefakewizard   ⤿ Twitter:   / reallifefakewiz   ⤿ Join the Discord: http://WizardSanctuary.com/ ⤿ See More from Fake Wiz: https://www.FakeWizard.com FAN MAIL: Real Life Fake Wizard 1003 Mulford Ct.
