First, Nintendo was to take the spot Kids Zone currently occupies... Well, with Nintendo, mainly Mario Kart ride and Donkey Kong coaster, going to the new 3rd park, Kids Zone is now rumored to be replaced with a Pokemon area... Including an omnimover attraction... E.T. will have its entrance moved...
Rumors are Barney and the rest of the land ending operations in January, but right now, no signs point to that being the case...
Remember, this is a rumor...

That could be very cool! Japan in particular are Pokémon crazy and could be a big pull. And with Nintendo pushing Pokémon hard the world over, the advertising speaks for itself!
Major EPCOT fan!
