Poco a Pokemon

Poco a Pokemon (Pokemon Pokopia) gives players a chance to kick back and unwind as a Ditto, where they can meet and greet various Pokemons and build their ideal habitat to their heart's content.

In the ruins of the world of Pokemon where everything has perished, even humans, there came a Ditto and Professor Tangrowth stepping out of the ruins and into the wilderness in their hopes to rebuild habitats for all Pokémon to live.

As you build your ideal Pokémon habitat, you will come across a cast of super-helpful Pokémon that will grant you new abilities to make your building life easy. For instance, Bulbasaur will grant you the power to plant gardens, watering abilities from Squirtle, the Cut move from Scyther, the Rock Smash ability from Hitmonchan, and the list goes on. Some abilities are useful if you're in the mood for collecting resources needed for crafting materials for building.

As you keep on building, more and more Pokémon will reside, while some require you to fulfill certain conditions. Imagine the fun you'll have with your favorite Pokémon inhabitants.

Throughout your building journey, you will stumble across a unique cast of Pokémon, some of whom are witnesses to this forgotten land, including a sad-looking Pikachu. These folks have their own stories to tell.

Being a town-building game, you can use an internet connection (Switch Online subscription required) to visit other players' towns. You can even invite up to three other players to showcase your creations. You can even make a Cloud Island to share with the world as well. Don't forget to bring your favorite Pokémon resident while visiting other players' cloud islands. Your friends can't wait to meet yours.

Now that you understand the basics, are you ready to build your own Pokémon habitat as a Ditto? This game is a great way to relax and unwind from sunrise to sunset. Build, build, build! Build even better! The life of a Ditto has never felt so... well, Ditto. Enjoy!
