The Lower Garden District Park in New Orleans, Louisiana mysteriously had a wild statue appear recently. The site of an old fountain in the park has been changed to pay tribute to Pokemon GO’s popularity. According to local news outlets, a Pikachu statue, constructed from fiberglass but made to look like bronze, was placed in the fountain in a small park near the intersection of Terpsichore and Prytania streets sometime Sunday morning. No one knows who placed the statue, but it’s there. We’ve included a picture of the statue below, so feel free to check it out.
My only question here is WHAT KIND OF WALK WAY IS THAT?!
Conveniently placed trees are everywhere
LAMO!!!
Ughhhhhhhhhhh I meant LMAO!*
Next
Hey… It didn’t let me finish. Lol.
I meant next we will see Pokemon buildings appearing out of nowhere.
Lol how did that happen?
||Soon…||
Today, New Orleans, then, the world?
||Of course, our main mission has always been total world domination…||
it’s face looks a little weird to be honest
anyone tried playing go around it? wondering if there is any significance.
Why is he angry?
The pose looks similar to one of the victory poses that it makes in Pokken Tournament (and it looks angry in that pose, too), so I think they were trying to emulate that.
Why they chose that instead of something else is the million dollar question.
love it when the City supports something very healthy …I am going to the park …already lost one size off my pants playing this game never have I see the parks be this full.
Trying to invite the Pokemon GO players to the park, huh?
That’s so strange.
What i’m trying to figure out is how does a statue appear out of know where with noone knowing about it?
Where is the re edit button?
But is it a Pokestop?
If it stays and word of it reaches Niantic, it will likely be patched in.
Around where I live, there’s a street decorated with benches designed and built by students from the nearby high school, ranging from Willy Wonka to Mouse Trap to Wizard of Oz. One of the benches is a Pokemon bench; conveniently enough, it’s a Pokestop. This new statue could easily follow suit.

Sounds like it was a Gishwhes scavenger hunt item. It’s possible a “make Pokemon statue and place it in a public area” was on the list.
