The Future of Lost Continent

Pokemon feels like something that would be a theme park designer's dream - but also something that could be ruined very quickly by corporate lol

I think UC has done a great job of balancing corporate interests (money, money, money) with the needs of the fans (immersion, respect, captivating) across multiple projects/properties. While, yes, they've made bucket loads of money off of Harry Potter, Nintendo, Simpsons, etc., I feel like they've leaned in the direction of if you do it right, the money will follow instead of 'give us your money and like what we've given you'.

Something I didn’t include in my Pokémon Stadium pitch is that in order to participate you’d have to sign up for it. Like I said it would basically be a daily tournament with a winner at the end and could be watched like a show as well with AR tech bringing the battles to life. It wouldn’t be the only attraction and I feel like it would be popular.

For participation you’d either use Pokémon you caught or “rentals” provided at the attraction. Pokémon Home connectivity could be an option but after thinking about it that could offer a very unfair advantage so maybe that could be limited and only offered during some kind of special event or not at all.

No! I WANT to use my trained Landorus-Therian while on vacation! Let me smoke out everyone because I played Smogon and VGC! I WANT everyone to see my shiny Pokémon!

I think the easiest way to do this would be some sort of integration with Pokemon Go with exclusive Universal activities. Having window-like wands interactives to catch Pokemon could be tough. The benefit of the current wand or even SNW mini game structure is that not everyone feels the need to repeat the process because the effects are mostly the same.

If you had similar interactives, but different Pokémon appeared each time or heck even shiny Pokémon, you'd create endless lines of people trying to hunt over and over again. Pokemon Go could alleviate part of that struggle, and then sell some sort of ball that can integrate with the game where you can use them in battles around the land.

The other option is to make the ride the place to catch Pokemon. This allows you to cycle through as many different Pokemon as you want + shiny and then interact with them outside the ride in some form.
