Despite being open for such a short time, it was actually quite a substantial theme park, with a restaurant, several cool attractions, and even a nightclub! It was free to enter, but each individual attraction cost money to ride. The park opened in March 2005 and ran until just September of the same year in Aichi, Japan, before going on tour in Taiwan between June and September 2006.

So, with such a popular franchise, the theme park possibilities were seemingly endless and Nintendo decided to create an entire Pokemon-themed theme park PokePark (Not to be confused with the Wii game of the same name). 1996’s Pokemon Red and Green versions are still the third best-selling Nintendo games of all time after Wii Sports and Tetris. As a Pokemon trainer, your goal is split between battling and befriending Pokemon to obtain the eight badges of your region. Like Disney, Pokemon has become cemented in popular culture and remains an insanely popular multi-media franchise to this day. However, long before Universal, the iconic game developer created a Nintendo theme park based on one of its most popular video game series Pokemon. On a larger scale, we’ve also seen the collaboration between Nintendo and Universal culminate in the upcoming Super Nintendo World park in Osaka and eventually Orlando, the latter of which appears to be near completion. However, recent decades have merged the two, and we’ve even seen fans create their own Disneyland and Haunted Mansion themed Animal Crossing islands. In the 1980s and 90s it seemed that theme parks and video games were very much their own thing with their own fandoms.
