Pokemon at USF discussion/speculation.

For those keeping up with rumors, Pokemon is apparently coming to USF replacing Simpsons. From what I have gathered on the IU forums, the land is currently rumored for 2030, and the main ride will not be a clone of what Japan is getting (which according to insiders is basically another variant of MK due to space constraints of taking over the old Spiderman building).

With that in mind, how do you think this land will turn out? what experiences would you want to see this land have for both the main ride and other entertainment offerings?

I bet they’ll do a shooter like Pokémon Snap or simply catching Pokémon.

There’d better be Pokémon catching in the land. Can they improve upon Pokémon Go?

I just hope for an E ticket they do a battle arena ride where you have to stop Team Rocket and Giovanni.

I know very little of Pokemon aside from my son showing me every card he has over and over again...

But, I'd like to be able to collect Pokemon (around the land and within the attractions). Have a Battle arena set up where you can team up with other guests and use your collected Pokemon to battle.

Pokemon is such a generational thing that I feel like you need some sort of attraction or walkthrough that explains what they are and the purpose of the trainers. A boat ride similar to Navi with animatronic and screen-based Pokemon that fill the banks of the river while a narrator (veteran trainer) tells the story and calls out the types you "find" could be a nice family attraction.

seems like a boat dark ride like Snap would work, not sure how to make a trainer duel a thing in the context of a ride
the table-service restaurant writes itself though...

Be able to catch them via app in the land and then a dark ride where you're in the battle arena putting in work

I'm gonna hedge a bet and say that if Niantic and to an extent Pokémon GO haven't imploded by then, integration will be apart of the land.

I know I'm not the target demographic, but a Pokemon land seems incredibly boring. None of the locales in the show seem incredibly interesting or iconic and the IP is based on collecting animals to have dog fights, not a ton of attraction ideas to play off of there.
