Pikachu goes prehistoric at Pokemon Fossil Museum debut

Pokemon fans hoping to 'catch them all' may want to head to Chicago's Field Museum, where the Pokemon Fossil Museum is making its North American debut. The interactive exhibition blends the worlds of Pokemon and paleontology, giving visitors the chance to compare fan-favorite Pokemon like Tyrantrum and Archeops with the real-life fossils. It has only been shown in Japan since launching in 2021.

01:36I'm so happy to be here today with my kids, they get a learning experience, not only about Pokemon and
01:42seeing all the things that they love and know about their favorite characters,
01:45but they also get to learn about dinosaurs and fossils and how different scientists find all these cool things in
01:52the world.
02:02I'm 1000% excited.
02:12This group has been super excited. We've been talking about it for months.
02:16And then we made sure to become Field Museum members to get the tickets early.
02:22And then we found out the day after, we just checked the public sales and it was like 20,000
02:29people long, 12 hours long to get a ticket.
02:32And we're like, yeah, we made the right choice.
02:33Yeah.
02:34So it's so cool, just especially how they have it set up with just the like real inspirations for the
02:41Pokemon and the fossils of the inspirations for the Pokemon.
02:46And a couple of them are like, like, oh, I didn't know that they based it off of a real
02:50Pokemon or a real animal or creature or something like that.
02:55I'm like, oh, I figured they just came up with some general like fossily old idea.
03:00Feels like a dream come true. You know, I watched the Pokemon TV show when I was a kid.
03:05I played the games, collected the cards and myself as a Pokemon character is a weird thing.
03:12I don't know if I would be able to tell my younger self that that would be a thing or
03:17an option in the future.
03:18Yeah.
03:18I think this is a way to get people interested in natural history and us as the custodians of natural
03:24history in this museum are trying to get our collections, leverage our collections, leverage our research expertise to continue and
03:31further science.
03:32I think this exhibit, which melds pop culture with science is an exceptional example of a way to show the
03:39far reaching influence of natural history and why natural history should be important to everybody and why we should continue
03:46to study natural history and science.
04:15We'll see you next time.
04:17Bye.

04:18Now if you look, I'm watching you.
04:20It's so good that you listen to the clarinetациям.
04:21Let's see Te λ� Partners can be said.
04:21There are only ten cbodi cards arekus.
04:22Thank you, so good that you perspective.
