Pokémon The Park 2005 or PokéPark (ポケパーク, PokePāku) was a traveling Japanese theme park based on the Pokémon franchise. It has existed in two locations previously, both currently closed. It was in Japan in 2005, and in Taiwan in 2006. There has been talk about Poképark coming to the USA, possibly Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or to Europe, in Berlin, Germany. There was a rumor that a new Poképark would be built in Richmond, Virginia during the Summer of 2008 until a Mailbag response on Pokemon.com recently denied the rumor, stating that you "can't trust everything you see on the web., though King's Dominion representative Drew Peacoch said, "We are looking very closely at Pokepark, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Pokepark come to Kings Dominion in the near future." The theme park featured twelve Pokémon-themed attractions, and was open between March 18, 2005 and September 25, 2005 in Japan, and from June 23, 2006 to September 24, 2006 in Taiwan.
