@_@ A real Pokemon Park, eh? ^_^ That seems like a nice idea for Japan. Too bad other countries can't make a park based on an anime...

ok wow........its like the disneyland of japan, i am super jealous, it looks like a laugh, imagine how rare some of the gear there must be, this proves that pokemon will live on forever

*dies* They Rule~! I can't wait to go there 8D! .... in my next lifetime =P

 

[EmeraldSky]

Wow!
I so wish the US had a "PokeLand" so to speak...

What do you think will be in Japan's PokeLand? (i.e. rides, shows, etc.)

I think that in addition to Pokemon themed rides and shows, there'd be costume Pokemon and places to meet Ash and the gang...

I thought there's one in Tokyo that's similar to Disney...

 

[Porygon]

Man? I wish I knew Japanese so I could go there?

Well, you don't have to speak Japanese to go there. =/ But it would be more helpful in some ways. If you ever wanted to buy something you could just point at that object and buy it.

If anyone of you are planning to go, please tell me dates and times. Thanks!

i thought it wasn't biult yet?

I've heard news on it beofre and was pretty excited about it. It's really quite awesome, except for the fact that I'm pretty sure the more popular types will get all the rides (Pikachu, Jigglypuff, etc.) leaving lesser known types (Tangela, Qwilfish, etc.) to be forgotten...um...moreso.

A park like this would never work out in the US. A lot of money might be made at first, but generally the US is pretty cynical about Pokemon and I would think that it probably wouldn't last very long. After all, why do you suppose there's only one Pokemon Center in the 'States?

Besides, parents would much rather hang out with Bugs Bunny and/or Mickey Mouse than Pikachu. 9_9 (As if it's any different in the long run =D.)

Wo that looks awsome. Of course I cant read Japanese so I dont know what the site is talking about. But yea it would be really cool if they had a ride for every kind of pokemon. :P

But I agree that it would never work in the US. Not only would people pefer Disney World still but then you would have those religious people outside the gates chanting that Pokemon are evil. xD -gets shot-

 

[EmeraldSky]

Okay, to quote Brock, HOLD EVERYTHING!!!!

The point of my question was: If we had a successful PokeLand in the US, what woul you like to see there?

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

To be perfectly honest, it would never work anywhere outside of Japan, since there is a much denser degree of the population who like Pokemon compared to America, Europe and Australia, where the fanbase is of a minority of the gaming population.

I still think it's very cool, and I would like to go to it if I ever went to Japan. But... too bad that I'm not XD

 

[Dratini927]

It would be my favorite ammusement park if it came to the U.S. :P

But like Mr Cat Dog said, you have to think realistically. They won't build one outside Japan because not as many people like it outside of Japan. If Pokemon was almost all over the world as one of the biggest animes out there, then they might consider it. But if they were to make it with how the market it now, it would be torn down within a week. :P

But still, it's always nice to dream. ;)

i ride based on charizard. more like a volcono. you get on the charizard cart thing and you go throuth loops and everything.it will go fast to and surpises at every coner. (yes i have gave the pkmn park idea some thougth before this post)

sigh....if only it could work here. blast you stupid americans who can't love anything tha doesn't invole gore, blood, and sex fore more then a year or two

 

[Houndour2004]

I would had loved to see a Pokemon amusement park in UK, but I only think it would be possible in Japan.
I wonder what the restaurants in the Pokemon amusement park would serve of menus?

 

[EmeraldSky]

Probably Pikachu ice cream bars, popcorn in Pokemon bags, chocolate Poke Balls (with a candy Pokemon inside), and cotton candy shaped like Pokemon, to name a few ideas

 

[GOD.]

i now see that this pokemon park is like the disneyland of japan XD

also looks like thev rides fromm wishmaker are being used

do we have a name for the place?

yes, but they have a toy for every pokemon! I saw this before in beckett magazine in 1999, but it was much smaller and amateurish. there was a pokemon snap ride with wierd little monsters popping up...now it's much more cool.
