In just over a week, the first-ever permanent Pokemon theme park, PokePark Kanto, will open in Japan. Judging from advance sales, it’s likely to be difficult to get tickets until demand dies down. In the meantime, PokePark Kanto opened up its doors a few days early to let fans know what the experience has in store for them.
Today was press day for PokePark Kanto opening on 2/5, and there’s a ton of new pics from inside the park! It really feels like a Gen I town come to life. Still waiting on lottery results but you can also buy tickets for two months ahead of time.

According to the message posted above by Tokyo Game Life, PokePark Kanto “feels like a Gen 1 town come to life.” That includes a station where a cast member portrays Nurse Joy as she extracts captured Pokemon from Pokeballs.
