Although this set is billed as “the ultimate battle,” a battle between Charizard and Jolteon would be pretty lopsided, as Jolteon's Electric type gives it a distinct advantage over all Flying-type Pokémon, including Charizard. While Charizard can learn ground-type moves that can help it win, it's not an ideal match-up. It's also an unusual combination for a LEGO set, as it's not two Pokémon usually matched against each other; Charizard vs Venusaur or Blastoise would have made a bit more sense. However, LEGO already has a set with the final evolutions of the Kanto starter. Offering Charizard in a cheaper set with another popular Pokemon does make sense.
Until now, Smart Bricks have been a major source of controversy among LEGO fans. Smart bricks make LEGO sets more expensive, and that's frustrating for collectors who have no interest in having the extras. There are tons of fans and collectors who just want to build LEGO versions of their favorite Pokémon. LEGO sets can be expensive enough without adding anything extra, so incorporating expensive new technology risks alienating fans and collectors who have less money to spend.
