Review Pokémon Pokopia (Switch 2) - One Of The Most Enticing Pokémon Games Ever
I'm gonna reconstruct block by block
I feel like I’ve been rebuilding my relationship with Pokémon over the past decade. It’s been a weird experience for me, who’s grown up with the franchise at every stage of my life; taking my toy Pokédex to school; sitting at the top of the stairs, GBA SP in hand and Sapphire on the screen, timidly...

Anything but lax
Many of the brand new forms introduced in Pokémon Pokopia have their own unique Specialty that helps bring a bit of life and cheer to the town, or even speed things up a little.

Preview Despite Low Expectations, Pokémon Pokopia Had Me Grinning From Ear To Ear
Cut above
There was a moment quite early into my time with Pokémon Pokopia where I sat back, exhaled, and said, “Oh dear, it’s got me.” See, I’ve not been too hot on Pokémon games for a while now, and initial trailers for Pokopia suggested that this probably wouldn’t be changing anytime soon. After spending 90 minutes with both...
About The Game
Shape the land and build a cozy new life with Pokémon
Play as a Ditto that has taken the appearance of a human! Find and befriend your fellow Pokémon and carve out a life for yourself by learning their moves to shape the land. Use Bulbasaur’s Leafage to make wild grass grow, keep it healthy with Squirtle’s Water Gun, and more. As nature flourishes, more Pokémon will appear for you to meet and learn from!
Build homes, farm crops, and more in a world with days, nights, and varied weather
Collect rocks and wood to build with, till the fields to grow delicious crops, build homes for the Pokémon you meet...there’s so much to do here! No need to rush, though—go at your own pace and enjoy the journey. With a 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 you make progress, you’ll eventually be able to build a nice big home of your own—and then invite Pokémon and even other players* to visit and hang out with you!

I’ve enjoyed Animal Crossing New Horizons. It was my first cozy game to have ever played. When this game (Pokopia) was announced I was hesitant on picking it up since it kept being compared to Minecraft. I’m definitely not a fan of that game.
I saw gameplay and I heard reviews and I thought, this actually looks good.
I picked it up and I’m 2 days into it. This game is awesome. It’s better than Minecraft and 100% better than ACNH.
I personally like that this has a story that I’m interested in.
What did happen to all the humans and Pokemon?
This Pokemon sim game is keeping my backlog full.
