The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questions are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Today’s Question: QotD: If you ran a Pokemon equivalent of Jurassic Park, what would your main attraction be?
Helpful considerations: Trained Pokemon show? Mock battles? Full on arena tournaments daily? Rides? Large natural habitat area? Petting area?
As much as Id want a Pokemon petting cafe, i think the main attraction would have to be restricted to a Main street parade of trained pokemon shows. A bird of prey show, a water show, a few trained dogpokemon performances, probably a few other ones as well, all coming together in a very controlled parade.
My biggest worry would be any larger and more powerful pokemon losing control. Dual everstones on every unevolved pokemon and as part of every employees required gear. I wonder what other items I could get a hold of to keep things under control?
Ah definetely the little teacup rotating ride, but with sinistea and sinistcha! Must have.
Edit: just saw it said “main” attraction, and not just 1.
Main attraction would probably be a lengthy tunnel of pokemon love that showcases the beauty of pokemon with a short tour of poke hell with giratina where scalpers, and other unethical entities end up.
A Pokemon Jurrasic Park I feel would work essentially like Blueberry Academy’s Terarium. Access to an area with different biomes for Pokemon to live in their natural habitats. Jurrasic Park style safari vehicles driving tourists around to see all the amazing Pokemon.
Its really just the biggest version of the many Safari Zones, with infinite steps.
Pokemon-style Disney World on the other hand…so many possibilities…
Well, Jurassic Park’s concept was attractive because it put certain death or at least fear-inducing creatures just out of danger. Perhaps one of the most entertaining things I’ve seen in any Jurassic Park/World IP content is the raptor show where sometimes the raptors don’t quite do what they’re supposed to. SO…
I’d say a potential life and death struggle between pokemon and people who think they’re clever or strong enough to outmaneuver or outsmart them. A gauntlet run against a lucario, ceruledge, or bisharp. A strength match again machop or throh. A game of wits played against alakazam, in which the lose loses his mind.
I’d just have a guzzlord hidden at the end of an entry way to eat anyone who enters. There isn’t really even a park. Its just guzzlord eating people.
Thanks for the fun thought experiment, many others have some great responses!
For anyone familiar with Pokemon Battle Revolution, my main event would be a rotating daily arena representing 7 colosseums from that game. Magma Monday, Courtyard Tuesday, Waterfall Wednesday, Crystal Thursday, Neon Friday, Stargazer Saturday, and Sunset Sunday.
These were mostly chosen for alliteration or theme (e.g., Tuesdays I find to dreary, so I hope the foggy Courtyard colosseum would be appropriate here).
Each arena would be host to wandering Pokemon associated with each respective theme. You’d be permitted to battle and interact with them to your heart’s content (perhaps even some events akin to Johto’s bug catching contest will be held).
hey i just tried to click the “meta discussion” hyperlink but it says it doesn’t exist or is private. Not sure what is up with that. But I had a few WOTD ideas I’d like to throw in the mix.
My main attraction would be the merch shop. I would fill it with prismatic evolutions and people wouldn’t care even if the park was just full of barbaracles, i would drown in visitors.
