Very Very Rare PokePark Get? + Auctions!

[arisamon]

So, for those of you have seen my posts recently, you know that last month I aquired a 70 pound box of treasures. Well, I found a pack of papercrafts which was a hugely wonderful suprise! The paper crafts are of different rides from the 2005 poke park! I tried researching these paper crafts and came up with no info... i searched peoples collection

These are all so cute!! I wish the PokePark still existed, it would be so amazing to experience. ;o; <3 Congrats on the get! And good luck with the auction, though I doubt any of them will stay at their starting bid for long!

haha same!! I have still yet to go to japan... but pokepark is long gone... getting all the pokepark stuff recently made me even more sad i wont ever be able to go T^T... (sigh)

[nerucake]

It's so sad ;A; Maybe in the future they'll open something similar up again.. Here's hoping!

[arisamon]

yes! there is something called Pokemon Adventure Camp at Nagashima Spa Land... definitely not the same... but pokemon themed none the less!

[nerucake]

Ooh!! Thanks so much for letting me know about this place, I had no idea it existed! <3 <3 <3

[arisamon]

haha i am planning on going to japan next year, and i might go check that out! ^^ i was watching a few videos on you tube about it... it seems to be more of like an arcade type thing??? rather than rides

[nerucake]

Ooh I'd love to hear about your adventures if you end up going! I'm actually heading over there in February but I don't have the time to go to Nagoya this round unfortunately ;o;

Yeah it looks like it's like a little adventure walk around, I found an article on Crunchyroll about it (of all places!) and it says they give you a little storyline/objective and you walk around to different areas catching Pokemon and etc! Then there's a little live actor play section at the end, plus a little mini PokeCenter with some Adventure Park exclusive stuff! Sounds really cute and fun!

[arisamon]

haha yea im going to do a little research into it... since its my first time in japan i am not sure i will have the time to visit it... definitely i will try to hit the pokemon centers if i can though. My japanese is rusty too though so im not sure ill be able to understand what they are saying! haha.

I mean if you're wanting to go there you should just look up some more fun things to do/see in Nagoya! It's not too far off of Osaka and Kyoto so if you were planning on taking the shinkansen between those and Tokyo you might be able to do a day stop there or something! Either way something Pokemon will be a stop for you. C:

Haha, even if you don't know any Japanese you'll be fine, most people know a little English and the park would be made with children in mind so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out. The only thing you'd miss out on is the specifics of the stories at the park but you can't really get around that. :'D

Sorry if I'm coming off really strong by the way, I've been thinking about this sort of stuff for ages and I get a bit too excited about planning.. <3

[arisamon]

yes! i think we are definitely gunna try to hit Osaka and Kyoto for the historical sites. :3 if i do go the Pokemon Adventure in Nagoya i will definitely post about it here in pkmncollectors. And haha im Japanese American so yes you're right i should be able to figure it out.. -_- i just havent spoke japanese in ages i feel like i have the vocabulary of a 3rd grader now haha. haha and dont worry i enjoy all this advice!! i get jelly when people post here about their trips to japan! haha!! i think overall my main goals are Matcha cafes, ramen, pokemon, and Historical sites haha. i really have no expectations... and there are so many options haha! feel free to chime in any recommendations! ^^

[nerucake]

I'm excited to see your post, hopefully you have enough time to make a stop there! C:
Haha oh I see! I think you're gonna be miles ahead of other people going to it though, I've seen videos of English speaking only tourists getting along okay so you'll be totally fine haha! Good choices for your basic list though! c8
I honestly haven't been either, I'm so excited for Feb! I can only recommend things I've heard from friends that are really good. ;u; Most of them are more well known though, like browsing Nakano Broadway (there's an amazing icecream shop on the bottom floor) and a couple of the themed cafes (heard great things about the Gundam Cafe and Kawaii Monster Cafe).

[arisamon]

mm thanks for the advice haha.. i didnt know there wads a gundam cafe... but as a gundam builder... i think thats something i MUST go to haha! exciting!

[nerucake]

You're welcome! Yeah my friend went and said you can't really look down to eat your food at the Gundam Cafe because otherwise you miss the show, you can't look away. xD

[arisamon]

haha! man. thats definitely something im going to look into now!! ^_^ so excited!

[nerucake]

Awesome! I hope you get to go to it and have a great time! ^u^
