Context: Pokémon Red launched on Nintendo’s original Game Boy and was developed by Game Freak, establishing the Pokémon franchise as a major pillar of Nintendo’s software lineup.
Over the decades the franchise has appeared across Nintendo hardware, from handheld Game Boy systems to modern Nintendo Switch titles and services.
The partnership between a toy maker like LEGO and a legacy Nintendo property continues the crossover trend between physical collectibles and gaming IPs.
