Oh, I had expected #LEGO to make it official next month, but they already did: after Star Wars, Pokémon is the next theme with #SmartPlay features. 12 sets ready to pre-order. "Cheapest" 'all-in-one' (imem including the #SmartBrick) set is 'Training House with Pikachu' for $69.99, "cheapest" 'compatible' is 'Jigglypuff Concert' for $14.99. If you have money and love Pokémon, there's 'Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise' for $649.99 — no Smart Play.

»(...) none of this is permanent: The power boost from training only lasts until the Smart Brick is removed from that pokémon (or its battery dies), so you can’t train up a squad over time.« — So technically, this reads like training experience must be stored in the brick"s RAM. However, there'd be potential to store it in the brick's external SPI flash.
