ponyta

At first we thought Pokemon Adventure Camp had something to do with the event of the same name which took place at GuilFest in Surrey last year; however, as Siliconera points out, the trademark was filed by Nintendo, the Nintendo-exclusive game developer Game Freak, and Nintendo subsidiary Creatures, Inc.

Furthermore, the site points out it’s a game trademark, not a festival trademark, so if this pans out, we could be looking at another Pokemon game in our future. [image]
