Topic: Pokemon Pokopia

The problem for me is there's other similar games that are much better for the purely decorative/environmental design systems. Like AC:NH or Minecraft. The Pokémon aren't adding enough to this because at this point in the game they're just... there. So all I'm left with are blocks and objects that are kind of lacking any inspirational value compared to other — and in my opinion — better alternatives.

I definitely didn’t see this one coming either lol. The Ditto mechanics actually look really cool though—it feels like they could do a lot with that. Do you think it’ll actually play differently or just be more of a gimmick?

@OmnitronVariant Sure - not every game is going to consume your life though. If you prefer those alternative, they're there. I can see how people wouldn't feel inspired as I felt the same at the end of AC:NH.

Personally the Pokemon are 100% what make the game for me. Remove them and I have no incentive to do any of this.

I have the same feeling as Buizel, like... Legit I never have interest in playing Minecraft, but Pokopia? I'm done with the credits around 15-20 hours ago too, and I'm just so plum happy just... Making habitats and housing (which is super flexible!! So it's nice to just, make a trading open space that also doubles as a living space, an open cafe/relaxation rooftop, etc for the Pokemon to live in

Like, I'm already planning stuff to make certain places that will make them happy. Right now I'm planning to finish Skylands main island (the one with Pokemon Center), then move on to Rocky Ridge (want to make an apartment, and also make a road to the museum) or Bleak Beach (make a bit of an enclosure for lapras, and also more resort vibe areas throughout... And fixing the roads). Restoring S.S. Anne is also in the cards but that will take forever so later.

Like, so many things to do and just planning for the pokemon to stay in.

Also like, to add to things, people do already make stuff like calculator in Pokopia:

@darkfenrir Yeah anything game that has placeable objects that can be chained and used as OR gates can do this. It's quite amusing. I was making a short music player using rail tracks and laser detectors + note blocks as well. But this has been a thing in any game like Minecraft since, well, Minecraft. It's not very interesting.
