Pokémon™ Pokopia
Releases 3/5/26
Shape the world and build a cozy new life with Pokémon
Play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human! Find and befriend your fellow Pokémon, carve out a life for yourself, and work together with Professor Tangrowth to build a town for everyone to live in. Learn the moves of your fellow Pokémon to change the land, such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to make the wild grass grow. You can also use abilities to transform and navigate the world around you, such as crossing water with Lapras’s Surf.
As you work to help nature flourish, more Pokémon will appear for you to meet and learn from!
Create habitats, cultivate crops, and more in a world with varied weather and real-time day and nights
Gather materials to create items and furniture, till the fields to grow delicious crops, create habitats for the Pokémon you meet, take photos of fun moments, customize your hairstyle and clothing...there’s so much to do here! No need to rush, though—go at your own pace and enjoy the journey. With a real-time day and night cycle, varying weather, and other surprises, just taking a nap in your bed and letting time pass can be pretty relaxing.
As your town develops, your fellow Pokémon may also come to you with requests you can fulfill to solve their problems or make the town a more comfortable place to live in. Eventually, you’ll be able to build a nice big home of your own—and then invite Pokémon, and even other players via local wireless* or online**, to visit and hang out together. You can even invite visitors who don’t have the game—whether they are on the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system or Nintendo Switch—by using GameShare***!
