Pokémon Pokopia is a simulator and adventure game developed by Omega Force, released in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2. Set in a once-thriving world now desolate and emptied of humans, the game follows a Ditto that awakens from a long sleep to find only a lone Tangrowth remaining. Using its transformation abilities alongside newly discovered crafting skills, Ditto works to rehabilitate the land and build a habitable community. Gameplay centers on crafting, construction, and gardening, with players gradually restoring the environment and attracting a growing roster of Pokémon neighbors. These residents contribute to building efforts, teach new moves, and issue requests that drive further development of the settlement. The game supports multiplayer, allowing other players to visit the restored world. Progress unfolds at a relaxed pace, with the overarching goal of transforming a barren landscape into a flourishing Pokémon community.
