  1. Pokémon company is pretty greedy and controlling. I bet the delay is because they can’t agree on terms. It’s an easy money maker for universal no reason they wouldn’t do it if they could.

  2. I’d love to see Pokémon Snap attraction and a interactive PokeCenter where you could adopt Pokémon maybe similar to a Build a Bear but would have additional services after purchase.

  3. Anything Pokémon I would approve, even just a shop! I’m up for a re-theme of Spider-Man or whatever to get Pokémon in! Hoping Epic Universe adds it for the opening.

  4. Honestly, there's a lot of potential for a pokemon land – a haunted mansion with the ghost pokemon, some legendary themed roller coater… though a pokemon snap / safari zone ride would make the most sense, and allow a wide variety of pokemon to be feautred. Maybe even incorporate some type of branching path, like Star Tours. Letting the same layout cover various regions and seasonal changes.

  5. I think they should replace fear factor live with a Pokemon center (similar to the land in Epcot) and a ride where you see different Pokemon in the ride

  6. 5:35 another ip to retheme spider man could be anime since it is popular in Japan and the ride system wouldn't seem out of place.

  7. I would love to see Pokemon happen at Islands of Adventure. I can see it being used to retheme & expansion of Lost Continent, Suess Landings or even Toon Lagoon.

  8. Honestly, I feel like nintendo could have created their own theme park, its still awesome that they partnered with universal though.

  9. A ride would be cool, but I kind of hope they do some sort of Pokémon card battle game around the land or the full park like how Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom was hidden around Disney's Magic Kingdom

  10. I don’t think this will be in the epic universe, I think is going to replace the Marvel section in IOA. I think they want similar IP’s represented in every park, since they noticed how well it works with Harry Potter. We have Hogsmead in IOA, diagon alley in studios, and probably ministry of magic in epic universe. And dreamworks has a despicable me area in studios, dragons in epic, and I think they want to expand or rebrand a land in IOA (hoping for kung fu panda or the Croods). And now with acquiring Super Nintendo, Super Nintendo land in epic, Zelda in studios, and Pokémon in IOA.

  11. They could do something interactive like what they did with Super Nintendo World. Instead, it could be like a better version of Pokémon Go where you walk around and collect Pokémon and get to battle them with other guests and actors as trainers.

  12. My idea for a Pokemon Super Nintendo World:

    The land would be located at Universal Studios Florida and would replace most of Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone (except for ET and the Animals Actors show). The idea is that you are in the Universal Region. The land includes gift shops themed to Pokecenters and Pokemon themed restaurants.

    The land would include many of the things like the Mario Nintendo world, such as interactive activities, animatronic pokemon roaming the surrounding areas, and so on.

    However, there would be 3 attractions. One would be an interactive attraction similar to the Bowser Jr. one at Mario's SNW, but this one would be a Pokemon gym. You would traverse through many obstacles and possible pokemon trainers similar to the games. The final room would be a Pokemon Gym battle.

    Another attraction would be a Omnimover slow ride themed to Pokemon Snap. It would be a shooter ride rimilar to Buzz Lightyear but with cameras instead of blasters.

    The big E-ticket attraction would be a ride similar to the Jurassic World dark ride at Universal Beijing, but with some elements to Indiana Jones at Disneyland. This might not be the case in an official land, but I would personally theme it to the anime. Most, if not all, of the main characters would be present in this ride. The premise would be that many Legendary Pokemon would somehow be let loose in the region, and you have to help our heores save the day. Just like in Mario's SNW, you would win some sort of point system when doing these attractions

  13. Y'know, since its called SUPER Nintendo World, what if we were to design a park themed specifically to the greatest hits of the SNES?

    * Now obviously there would be plenty of Super Mario to choose from (World, All-Stars, Kart, Yoshi's Island).
    * Next, just like in Universal, would be a land themed to the Donkey Kong Country trilogy.
    * Then we'd have a Zelda land based on A Link to the Past.
    * StarFox would fit the role of the sci-fi Tomorrowland area.
    * Finally, something for the adults; might be controversial, but I feel its a forgotten franchise that deserves a second look: Killer Instinct

    Nintendo 64 World!

    * As in SNES World on the opposite coast, our first land will obviously be dedicated to Mario ( both Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart64)
    * Since we still need something for teens and above, a shoot 'em up dark ride based on GoldenEye 007 (and not the slow moving crap like Buzz Lightyear or Ant-Man; this needs to feel like a chase scene)
    * a Legend of Zelda land, this time themed to Ocarina of Time
    * our centerpiece would be dedicated to Super Smash Bros, with a rotating schedule of nightly battles
    * a Pokemon land, with attractions based on Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap!
    * a different Donkey Kong land, this one specifically themed to DK64
    * StarFox 64 again serves as the sci-fi land
    * finally, an often overlooked franchise gets its own area: Banjo-Kazooie

  14. Pokémon go park exclusive content yeah would be good, an AR Pokémon Arena that hosts actual tournament competitions for TCG and Game. Pokémon Parade Pokémon Center.

  15. Please don't take out Spider-Man. Just build a second park to include Pokemon.. or.. take out Water World considering it uses so much space and is right beside SNW.

  16. All I want in life is a Pokemon version of Epcot where each region is represented and people can go around to battle the gym leaders and the champion to be rewarded with actual badges and league certificates.

  17. I would say Pokémon snap ride… I mean it’s really already set as a theme park ride….

  18. Universal needs some Zelda, Pokémon and Metroid next, start off with Nintendo's best selling titles first that later expand to their other franchises

  19. Imagine walking into a Pokemon town/city themed area.  
    The Pokemon Center could be a pokemon themed Dave n Buster's type place.  
    The gym could be a dark ride where you battle and get your first or 8th badge. 
    A safari zone ride that has screens like the Kong ride where you're on a Pokemon Snap style expedition when a Pokemon goes rogue or gets territorial. 
    A ride where you wait in line in a pokemon cave surrounded by zubats and other cave mons. At the "bottom" it's a dark ride where you team up with one or multiple champions to stop one or multiple evil teams from using legendaries to destroy/take over the world.  
    A professor's lab where kids could "pick their own starter" and a Pokemon daycare playground/hang out area.

    The Pokemon GO possibilities…
    Life size Pokemon statues scattered throughout the town, maybe make a Pokemon Snap app where you could take pictures of them and win prizes at the Poke Center
