What happens when Pokémon steps out of your Switch and into a full-blown theme park? In this episode of Chibi & Chill: The Anime Podcast, Gareth takes you inside the magic of Pokémon at Universal Studios Japan—from larger-than-life parades with Pikachu and Charizard, to jaw-dropping projection battle shows, augmented reality encounters, and exclusive snacks like Poké Ball churros.

And since it’s spooky season, we’ll also dive into the brand-new Pokémon Unstoppable Halloween Party! Think DJ Pikachu vs. DJ Gengar, Ghost-type Pokémon like Mimikyu, Banette, and Pumpkaboo rocking the stage, and a dance-off where you help decide the winner. Plus, we’ll cover the special Halloween-themed merch and treats you can only find this fall at USJ.

We’ll explore the origins of the Pokémon x Universal collab, compare it to other theme park crossovers, and look ahead to the future—rumors of full Pokémon lands, potential dark rides, and more. Finally, Gareth shares some essential travel tips if you’re planning your own trip to Osaka, Universal City, and beyond.

✨ From Pikachu popcorn buckets to Halloween raves with Gengar, this episode is a must-listen for Pokémon fans, theme park lovers, and anyone dreaming of catching ’em all in Japan.
