The story goes that Pokemon was inspired by kids collecting bugs in Japan, and as such the association with nature has always been a pillar of the franchise. The Pokemon Company is applying this philosophy to a brand new theme park in Japan.

As reported by Kotaku, The Pokemon Company has officially announced Pokemon Wonder, a 48,000-square foot forest theme park where its main attraction is experiencing nature and Pokemon together.

Rather than a traditional amusement park with rides and mascots, Pokemon Wonder is situated in a vast forest that remained untouched for 20 years. There, attendees can explore the forest and look for handcrafted Pokemon made from items like leaves and acorns.

You can check out a gallery of the park in the linked article.

This does look quite nice - even if you're a nature fan who isn't particularly into Pokémon .

Bit of a shame it's only for nine months, and it's so far away - but, if it succeeds, then perhaps they can bring the same concept elsewhere?

Might wanna fix that typo in the title, KIFAIL.

But yeah, not something I would go to, but it's a good idea to help kids who are into Pokémon maybe have a better appreciation of nature.

I’m so jealous Japan gets this. it’s so beautiful!!

Do you know of anywhere near you that would be good for something like this?

Yeah I do! It’s called Martin Nature Park. It’s in western  (maybe northwestern) Oklahoma City.

Ah yes, that does look good .

Or maybe they could do a Water-themed one somewhere ?

This theme park could definitely work, because there are creeks there too.

Awwwww this looks so cute I hope one day I would be able to visit this when it’s up! If travel to Japan is ever possible for me.

I generally enjoy nature a lot too

Well, sadly, it seems that this park is only operating until April 2022 - so you don't have too long!

However, if it's successful enough, then I can easily see other similar parks opening up - either in Japan, or elsewhere.

Aww, its a shane I won't get to visit it :/

Hopefully one day they can remake something like this in New York I could visit a New York version a lot more easily.
