Pokémon is such a force that any given generational divide could be its own franchise. We've seen myriad fan games pop up that richly explore each region, and Hoenn is one that comes up again and again. The varied environments are a big selling point, as is the power to adventure around the region from the sky.
It also contains many Pokémon that are now absolute classics, popularized across the mainline games and other projects like the Trading Card Game. Even now in the Pokémon Z-A DLC, several Hoenn-region Pokémon end up influencing the plot. While the first two games take up a lot of air in the discussion of the greatest Pokémon entries, Hoenn also comes up often.
Over on X, we just got wind of a new official Pokémon release that will make Hoenn region fans happy. It's all part of a massive series of drops throughout the year as the franchise celebrates its 30th anniversary. Thankfully, that celebration doesn't just involve Kanto this time.
Thanks to a full breakdown from Brick Built Blogs, we have an idea of how the LEGO scene will play out as it pertains to Pokémon. The announcement made ripples...
