While we do not have a copy of LEGO® Pokémon 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise to review, I was intrigued by one of the new elements that is exclusively found in this set (at least at the time of writing).
A few clicks later and I bought a handful of the new mould Brick Round, Quarter 1 x 1 on the secondary market, to take a closer look.

The smaller curve can enable some nice repeating patterns.
It is possible to have your cake and eat a more reasonable slice, rather than gorging on a whole half.
Do you have any ideas for this new mould?

Is there a functional reason why 79491 is missing a stud? If not then surely its days are numbered. Just one element to create now, the extended plate to go with the the 3x3 curved brick. Then is that it for basic curved elements, or will other combinations of extended/non-extended bricks, plates and times appear?
