The Future of Lost Continent

Then expect the same disdain Galaxy’s Edge received. People are going to want to go into a Pokémon Center, PokéMart, etc. and hear the music associated with them. They’re going to want to see some kind of implementation of battles.

We'll see, Pokémon is a lot of things to a lot of different people. It's definitely pushed more as a "cozy" franchise these days, rather than something that is "90's Cool" like it used to be. I know multiple people who collect Pokémon apparel despite having never played any of the games.

Cozy can be there but a lot of people will be upset if everything the franchise was built on isn’t present, just like Galaxy’s Edge.

I do think it’s possible or even probable that there were two Pokémon proposals over at Universal Creative.

One that was more rural with a small town feel and wild Pokémon which would be for Lost Continent and one that is more urban with Poké centers and gyms which would be for Simpsons.

I have no idea what they ended up choosing.

Or… you know… it has both a small city section AND a small safari section.

Divided by a fire road.

Pokemon can fit several different ways into each of the parks. I think which park they choose will dictate how they desgin the land and choose the location motif. Personally growing up with the OG game plasying this adventure and feeling like the whole game map was its own small island it always felt like the property felt at Islands of Adventure. USF feels a little forced but could work, and Epic would work well too.
