Developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES and releasing on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, Pokémon Pokopia is a life simulation game where players can create their own Pokémon paradise. The game features Ditto as its protagonist, who has transformed to look like a human.
As human-Ditto, players can explore and learn moves from the Pokémon they befriend, such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to grow greenery, or Squirtle’s Water Gun to revive dried-up plants — expanding their capabilities and helping them create an inviting environment to attract a variety of Pokémon.
Players can collect materials, build furniture, grow vegetables, and create homes for Pokémon, allowing them to experience a cozy, slow life with Pokémon — one that they build themselves from the ground up.
Over time, players can develop a town of their own and invite other players or Pokémon to visit. The game also features a day-night cycle linked to real-world time, changing weather, and in-game locations with their own unique characteristics.
The news was announced during the recent Nintendo Direct, alongside major announcements for Pokémon Legends: Z-A including new Mega Evolutions and its upcoming Mega Dimension DLC.
