To build them out of Lego is my real test

... to avoid stepping on them is my cause

I will travel across the land
searching far and wide
For a 1x2 blue piece
to finish Piplup's side

This gallery of Lego Pokemon brings up two questions (for us, at least): first, why are Lego bricks so inherently awesome? And second, why is the Pokemon cartoon's theme song so inherently hilarious?

We find the idea of building our own little Pokemon very appealing. Why go through the trouble of catching them in-game to make them fight, when you can build these guys and smash them against whatever you want? Who needs your rules, anyway?
