As we know, The Pokemon Company license has been with Mattel and under the Mega Construx brand for a while now but it looks like it will be with LEGO starting next year. It is a multi-year deal with The Pokemon Company International so we should be seeing a lot of sets in the near future.

The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International team up to bring the world of Pokémon to life brick by brick.
