Imagine the absolute joy on Leslie Knopes face when she realizes her parks are getting more foot traffic
Now imagine the look of absolute confusion when she finds out it’s for video game
Now finally imagine Leslie Knope organizing Pokémon tournament in order to increase the foot traffic at her parks
Now imagine the city of Pawnee absolutely torn apart by the team system
Imagine it bring back parks and rec just for this episode I’m serious
All I know is that Tom is going to spend WAY too much money on pokeballs and when he finds out they are free he’s going to go “noooooo”
And City Hall is going to be a gym, right? And everyone is always fighting over who leads it. And everyone, with the town torn up behind them, will be split three ways.
Donna leading the Red Team, Leslie leading the Yellow Team, and no one likes the Blue Team (Jerry come on! Cue Tom “NOOO I picked Blue!!” Also lbr Greg Pikitis is Team Blue and “that kid is a JERK” “He’s a kid, Leslie…” “DON’T TALK to me Ben. You chose Red before consulting with me!” “THE WHITE HOUSE GYM IS TEAM RED!”)
Ron generally staying out of it, but enjoying the simplicity of catching them. Also his step-daughters really like Eevee and Clefairy and he kind of wants to impress them but won’t tell anyone.
Chris being the leader in poke stops made simply because he runs everywhere anyway.
And April stays out of it because wowwwwww but drives Andy around anyway.
But the whole mess of the episode is Greg Pikitis is home from college for the summer and has decided to take over City Hall with pokemon with names like “Leslie Nope” and “Gov’t Sux” and “Peach Pit” and LESLIE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS and trying to take back over and running after pokemon while also getting really excited that people are at her parks and making signs like “don’t pokemon and drive” and the ridiculous Family Affairs lady throwing a tiff about the “demons in the kid’s phones” etc.
(And in the end Yellow Team takes back City Hall and no one can figure out who this new player is and it’s April.)
