After LEGO and “Pokémon” officially cooperated, the player community was recently washed by an ordinary-looking Pokémon. That’s right, it’s the green caterpillar in the first generation of “Pokémon Red and Green” that many people put in the warehouse not long after catching it at the beginning!
Recently, a player’s self-made LEGO Caterpie creation unexpectedly became popular on Reddit. Not only did it receive tens of thousands of likes, but the comment area even turned into a large wishing fountain. A bunch of players started banging the bowl crazily, hoping that LEGO officials would actually launch a small Pokémon series of this scale in the future.
It’s obviously just a caterpillar, but the players are more excited?
The most interesting thing is that the first wave of the “Pokémon” series officially released by LEGO actually features super popular characters such as Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Charizard and Blastoise. As a result, the most hotly discussed among the player community recently is a green caterpillar that is not in the official starting lineup at all. Many players believe that this kind of small and medium-sized Pokémon is actually the most suitable for LEGOization. Because the size does not need to be huge, it is also easier to store. Some players even said directly: This is what LEGO should sell!
Pokémon players have now begun to brainstorm the second wave of lists!
With the official launch of the LEGO Pokémon series, the community has actually entered the “guess who’s next” mode recently. According to recent leaks, characters such as Caracalla, Gengar, Charmander, Fiststone, and Jigglypuff may appear in the future. And Reddit players began to wish for more unpopular characters, such as Denden Insect, Woody Owl, Arceus and even Caterpie himself. The current community atmosphere is a bit like the nationwide roll call meeting when “Pokémon GO” was first launched.
LEGO may actually have found a new money printing press
To be honest, when LEGO officially released the first batch of “Pokémon” products, the first reaction of many players was actually: “Why is this collaboration coming now?” After all, “Pokémon” is already one of the strongest IPs in the world, and LEGO has been crazy about expanding the game co-branded territory in recent years, from “Super Mario (Super Mario/Super Mario)” to “The Legend of Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)”, and now it is finally Pokémon’s turn.
The unexpected popularity of Caterpie this time also proves one thing. Players may want to buy more than just Pikachu! Because for Pokémon fans, as long as LEGO is willing to make it, even a green caterpillar that no one usually cares about can be snatched up and out of stock.
