Ahead of the rumoured reveal of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl remakes for the Switch, one fan has gone above and beyond, recreating the entire Sinnoh region out of LEGO.
Don't worry, it's not quite as huge of an undertaking as it sounds - Reddit user Scoutisaspyable, also known as warlordjimbei on Instagram, is building Sinnoh in "LEGO Microscale", using the tiniest blocks available to make a top-down map of the place.
Scoutisaspyable built a tiny copy of the Pokémon League not too long ago, and the project continues apace with the addition of places like the Great Marsh, Route 220, Canalave City, and Jubilife City.
Here's a gallery of comparison images so that you can appreciate the attention to detail:
"At the moment, it has 14,222 parts," notes the builder, who made the mock-up in a LEGO program rather than real-life. Sadly, a real version would be impossible, since "the bricks don't exist in the colours I used." Ah well. Next up is Oreburgh, Sinnoh's mining town, where the game's first gym leader lives.
For those craving more LEGO Pokémon fusions, Scoutisaspyable also made Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd in Brickheads style, as well as a black-and-white recreation of Pallet Town from Pokémon Red and Blue.
What do you think of these intricate builds? Let us know in the comments below.

That looks really cool.
Love the dedication but I want the real thing!
Still impressive, but not gonna lie, I was really kind of hoping to see the whole thing fully built out and taking up the entire floor of someone's garage.
This is very, very pretty and compliments the graphical style nicely.
NINJA APPROVED
I do love Lego microscale, it lets massive projects be actually feasible.
I quite like it. I do wish that it was built out in real life, but I understand that that is kind of infeasible.
I was not expeting the small scale, pretty cool.
That Metroid ship design from a few weeks ago though.... gah!!
I love to see a Zelda map done in this lego style
@Desrever Same. I want to walk through it like a kaiju.
I am a great fan of Pokemon and Legos. And I can't believe that I came upon a site that was posted less than an hour ago. lol
For some reason, I want to see a giant Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle rampaging through all the sets....
Gimme that farfetch'd!
I thought it was gonna be to scale with mini figures and was like dang that's gonna be huge and so expensive!
Let's see what the Distortion world will look like!
Man, I haven't been on nintendo life in a while. Good thing my sister been keeping me up to date and this is one of the great news from today! I love lego and this is beautiful art! I would like to see more.
I aspire to have that much free time
@Zuljaras It could happen if Nintendo and Universal Studio's theme parks take off.
We could have a dedicated Pokemon section.
Good Luck to them, will look forward to seeing it all! Personally I'd love to see Lego sets like this released in the future, traditional sets rather than that Lego & Mario collaboration (which I have some and am not the biggest fan of!)
