When Lego dropped the Smart Brick and debuted it at CES earlier this year, it wasn't hard to start imagining the many ways in which it could leverage its new tech-enabled system. In the end, it started with Lego Star Wars, which was no surprise, but now there's a new wave of Smart Play sets, and it's very much focused on Pokémon.
The idea of Smart Play is to enhance kids' instincts to play, with more feedback and systems for them to discover, and some observers and testers felt that side of things was a little lacking in the Star Wars sets. Having built a couple of the latest Pokémon sets, though, it looks to me like Lego's heading in the right direction.
