For those that may not remember Pokemon Quest, it is a free-to-play Pokemon game with blocky, Minecraft-like graphics that released back in 2018, to some slightly underwhelming fanfare. As for Nintendo Labo, some fans may recognize this as the cardboard crafting peripheral that released in the same year as Quest, however to a much more enthusiastic reception.

According to Japanese Nintendo, an unaffiliated website that reports on Nintendo news, another new Labo set will be releasing with the March 2020 issue of Yochien that features Pokemon characters in the style of Pokemon Quest. Considering the block-based aesthetic of Pokemon Quest, the combination with Labo’s build-able cardboard figures is a perfect mix. Clearly is still invested in keeping Labo alive with new updates like this new crossover as well as previous releases that have brought everything from vehicles to VR to Labo.

It would appear from the promotional images that have so far been released, the new Labo set will include at least three Pokemon: Pikachu, Eevee, and Bulbasaur. While these Pokemon are coming to Labo, there’s little information on whether or not the set might have some sort of affect on the player’s Pokemon Quest account. Similarly, while the original report on Japanese Nintendo claims that the Pokemon Quest set is coming with the March 2020 issue of Yochien, it is yet to be seen if it this is simply an announcement in the magazine or if it is packaged with the issue itself.

Fortunately for fans of any part of the Pokemon franchise, and not just Pokemon Quest, the regular characters that are crossing into Labo should be familiar enough to anyone who enjoys the series. Unfortunately, however, the set doesn’t seem to include the other two starters from Generation One of Pokemon, leaving at least two thirds of fans without their favorite starters. Then again, Pikachu and Eevee are clearly popular enough additions to appease most fans of the franchise whether their favorite starters are present or not.
