One avid Pokemon fan has used their free time brought about by a lack of internet connection to build the entire Sinnoh region out of Lego.
Losing your internet connection in 2021 can do funny things to a person, especially during a pandemic. It's a stark reminder of how much we rely on a constant web connection. No online gaming, no streaming services, no social media. Time to jolt back into the analog world and read a book, play an offline game, or actually talk to another human being in person.
Or, you know, you could build a scale version of the Sinnoh region entirely out of Lego. That's what Redditor Scoutisaspyable has decided to do. Their internet connection went out on Saturday and is yet to return. In that time, they have been building a scale version of the world in which many of you will have hunted, trained, and battled Pokemon in fourth-gen games, Diamond and Pearl.
"I started building whole Sinnoh in Lego Microscale 1:1. At the moment it has 14222 Parts," Scoutisaspyable revealed. That's right, almost 15,000 pieces of Lego and the region still isn't done. Unsurprising when its creator is going into as much detail as this. You can check out some of the areas that have been completed already above, including Twinleaf Town and Lake Verity.
Although a Lego remake of the Sinnoh region is pretty cool, it isn't the one Pokemon fans are hoping for. Remastered versions of Diamond and Pearl have been rumored for a while now. So much so that it feels more like a question of when they are officially announced rather than if. The latest clue popped up earlier this week in the form of a mysterious Twitter account, possibly created in preparation for the announcement.
As for Scoutisaspyable's Lego remake, you can keep up to date on where they're at via Instagram. Hopefully, their internet stays out long enough for them to finish the whole thing. If so, it might well be finished in time for Pokemon's 25th-anniversary celebrations. A Lego Sinnoh region feels like a more fitting way to celebrate 25 years than a Post Malone concert.
