First ‘PokePark Wii – Pikachu’s Great Adventure’ Image

Filb.de has uncovered the first PokePark Wii – Pikachu’s Great Adventure image, which appears to be a poster advertising the game. The image does not reveal much other than confirmation that the graphics are not the same as the WiiWare games and that the game is based off the temporary PokePark theme parks that were open in Japan in 2005 and Taiwan in 2006, since it uses their logo in the title. The game is also revealed to be developed by Creatures Inc., the company that owns one-third of the entire Pokemon franchise and that produces the TCG.

We can now say with certainty, if it wasn’t already obvious, that this is the same game Pokemon president Tsunekazu Ishihara was talking about in Famitsu magazine last month since Creatures Inc. is one of the in-house Pokemon companies. Why are they making a game related to the four-year old PokeParks, though? Everyone know Pokemon is all about cross-promotional advertising, and this is just speculation, but perhaps there is a possibility that this game is foreshadowing the reopening of new PokeParks somewhere. Who knows, though? It could just be paying homage to the parks too.
