Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International announced during the Nintendo Direct stream on Friday Pokémon Pokopia, a new cozy-style life simulation crafting game for the Pokémon franchise. The game will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
In the game, players control the Pokémon Ditto, who has used Transform to look like a human. The Ditto human encounters other Pokémon that it can learn moves from in order to interact with the land. Together, they collect rocks, wood, and other materials by destructing the world to craft new items such as furniture. The game also features farming and house decorating. Players can invite other players and Pokémon to their world.
Koei Tecmo is developing the game.
The Pokémon Legends Z-A game will launch for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on October 16.
The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games launched on Switch worldwide in November 2022.
