Pokémon GO brought the world out when it debuted several years ago, and since then, the franchise has done everything possible to keep fans active. Now, it seems that the company has a new initiative in mind for fanatics, and is bringing them back to their childhood. After all, Pokémon is starting to make playgrounds of all things, and the gyms of the jungle are more cute than we could have imagined.
In a surprise movement, The Pokémon Company arrived at a family market to launch these playgrounds, so that children in Japan can rejoice. A completely pink playground has been built in Name, a city within Fukushima prefecture. The outdoor gym highlights some favorite pink Pokemon, but Chaney is the real star given the Pokémon connection with the prefecture.
For those who do not know, the name of Chaney in Japanese translates in luck, and it is said to bring happiness. Fukushima prefecture decided to make Chaney the Pokemon mascot as such, since 'UK' in Japanese means luck. This association began in 2019, so The Pokemon Company was willing to build a playground dedicated to the pet.
On Twitter, the images of the Pokémon the playground has become viral, and Chaney is shown next to others such as Licking, IgglyBuff and more. The first playground of the pet is opened in Name, but there is more in the file. Cities such as Oriya, Daniel and Show are expected to have similar play areas with Chaney in the new year.
Clearly, Pokémon goes for all with this adorable playground, and fans outside of Japan are competing for their own constructions. The franchise has a global audience whose desire for more Pokémon is insatiable. A playground can make fans go crazy because this test park in Fukushima is something very special. Then, if The Pokémon Company wants to plan some parks in the United States, fans will be happy to do so.
What do you think of these new Pokémon playgrounds? Do you want these to come to the United States or...? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or contact me on Twitter @meganpeterscb.
