Parade and Halloween show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon, and we are extremely pleased to be able to fully launch this new project with you all at this major milestone. Our mission is to enrich both the real and virtual worlds through the existence of Pok\u00e9mon, and we produce Pok\u00e9mon every day. With this project, too, we hope to create new entertainment that is unique to theme parks, as a rich experience in the real world, and continue to provide surprises to people all over the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s no time scale as to when the attraction will launch, but those in Japan can at least look forward to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/11\/pokepark-kanto-the-new-pokemon-theme-park-opens-its-doors-in-february\">opening of Pok\u00e9 Park Kanto<\/a> at Tokyo&#8217;s Yomiuriland Amusement Park on <strong>5th February 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we&#8217;ll keep an eye out any further developments regarding the new Pok\u00e9mon attraction at Universal Studios.
