Pokémon Pokopia Arrives on Switch 2: The First Life Simulation in the Pokémon World

Pokémon Pokopia is the first Pokémon-themed life simulation game scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. In this game, you play as Ditto who has transformed into a human, and your task is to build a Pokémon-friendly utopia from scratch.

As human-Ditto, you will gather basic materials such as wood, stone, and various crafting materials to make houses and furniture. The crafting system allows players to design and create furniture, beautify interiors, and build facilities that make Pokémon comfortable to visit.

Use Pokémon abilities to help

One unique feature of Pokopia is Ditto’s ability to learn other Pokémon’s moves and then creatively use those moves in daily activities. For example:

• Using Leafage from Bulbasaur to add greenery and beautify the landscape.
• Using Water Gun from Squirtle to water the garden and help plants grow.

This approach is not just for style: by creating a fertile and friendly environment, more Pokémon will be attracted to come and interact with your utopia.

Relaxed life & natural cycles

Pokopia emphasizes a calm experience and satisfying daily routines. You can:

• Make furniture and decorations.
• Plant vegetables and tend the garden.
• Build a comfortable home for yourself and Pokémon.
• Rest in bed after a productive day.

The game also features natural time and weather cycles, so the atmosphere of your utopia changes with the day and seasons, adding depth and visual variety when exploring or gardening.
