Pokemon is pretty much all but confirmed for IOA. But I'm intrigued at what other parks beyond Orlando will get Pokemon. Could they work it in for Hollywood? Maybe a land at Beijing? The possibilities are endless.

I think it comes to every park/resort.

My guess is Pokemon comes to USH, it will be the Simpsons replacement for that park. Perhaps what might have been for USF before plans shifted to IOA.

Assuming it does the kind of numbers in merch that Nintendo does, these lands will easily pay for themselves in no time.

I can see Pokémon eventually making it to most/all of the Universal parks around the world. It is obviously well-suited to be a land, but unlike Mario, it can more easily work as a singular attraction in parks with more restricted space to work with.

No art was released. Dunno where they got that one.
