What Is Pokémon Pokopia?
Pokémon Pokopia was announced back in September during that month’s Nintendo Direct. You play as a Ditto that’s taken on the form of a human with goals of building a cozy new life for yourself and the Pokémon you meet. As you progress in the game, you’ll meet new Pokémon who can teach you different moves to aid in your quest to build-up the world around you, allowing you to create homes for the Pokémon you befriend, grow crops, and more.
