Nintendo secures 3 trademarks in Europe. Can you play Pokémon GO in PokéParks soon?
What is a PokéPark? A PokéPark is an amusement park that primarily revolves around Pokémon. Here you can find all kinds of attractions designed in the style of your favorite Pokémon. Throughout the entire facility, you can find Pokémon and have a strong Pokémon experience.
What is a trademark? With a registered trademark, a company secures the right to use the registered brand and protects it against use by other companies. This is one of the first steps before a company releases a new product or similar.
Nintendo Europe has now registered 3 trademarks in Europe to protect them. These are the names PokéPark Kalos
, PokéPark Paldea
and PokéPark Galar
, as reported by Serebii on X.
Following last week’s announcement that a new Pokémon Park named PokéPark Kanto
will open in Japan, this could indicate that Nintendo is pursuing similar plans in Europe.

PokéParks planned in France, Spain, and the United Kingdom?
Where could these PokéParks open? While there is currently no official information from Nintendo on this topic, there is already speculation about where these parks could open.
It is speculated that the PokéParks Kalos and Paldea could open in Spain and France, as these regions serve as rough templates for their respective in-game regions. The United Kingdom could serve as the location for PokéPark Galar, as a separate trademark for that term has been registered here.
Will the PokéParks definitely come to Europe? So far, it is only certain that the corresponding trademarks have been registered. However, this does not necessarily mean that the PokéParks will ever come to Europe. It could also be that the names were registered only as placeholders without concrete plans.
However, PokéParks in Europe would be a nice thing for trainers and fans in Europe, as the barrier to visiting the parks here is considerably lower than for a visit to Japan.
What do you think? Would you be happy about PokéParks in Europe? Would you visit them? If you are still looking for local events, check out what events in December in Pokémon GO are waiting for you.
