I have to admit that I have never been part of the whole Pokémon phenomenon. It seems like it is something that would have been perfect for me. I’m a collector of things and the tagline was always “gotta catch em all”. However, I was in that spot between being just a bit too old and not doing much with games and toys when the craze started. It has certainly not slowed down if things like Pokémon Go became a worldwide thing. Well, now the Nintendo Switch has a new game called Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! So, it is two games and you have to decide which team you are on. Nintendo even has special bundles that include a Poké Ball Plus.
I love how many fun accessories the Nintendo Switch has for making the player be more a part of the experience of the game. For example, the Poké Ball Plus. It lights up and vibrates and acts like a real Poké Ball would if those were actually real things. But what a fun experience to put a player into the games’ world. There is also special Nintendo Switch has decorations specific to this game and includes either Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! plus a Poké Ball Plus I have all of the products linked out to Amazon (affiliate links) below so you can get quick access to them.
We received some Mega Construx sets for free to play with and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
We received two sets to play with and they were the Charmander vs. Squirtle battle pack and the Machop and pokeball set. Andrew and I don’t really know much about Pokémon. I was older when ti came out and I never got into it. I wasn’t interested in the TV show or collecting the cards either. I do like building sets, and so when we were asked to review these I said sure.
MEGA Construx does a nice job of creating sets that feature current characters and properties like Despicable Me and the Minions and now Pokémon. The way that you can build each little Pokémon character is done nicely. You actually build the little heads of the characters rather then them being molded pieces. I like this because the heads go on with ball in socket connections so that you can move the heads all around. This makes for better poses while playing. Andrew built these sets himself and he did a great job following the directions with a little help. You can see more about each of the sets and also find a link to their official pages.
