Either that or they just shut it down when Devon discovered that you can just power everything using dead pokemon so they ran out of business.
Then it got abandoned and fell into disrepair.
Honestly the bigger question for me is what the fuck is that one attendant doing there. Does she just go there for fun or is standing on a fucking partially submerged sea platform day in day out addressing passerbys her actual job?
