A new Pokémon spinoff, Pokémon Pokopia, is slated to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. The game presents a departure from the established Pokémon format, bearing a resemblance to Minecraft in its visual style. Players will assume the role of a Ditto transformed into a human form, tasked with cultivating an empty landscape into a habitable environment for Pokémon.
Gameplay involves taming the wilderness, growing crops, and utilizing classic Pokémon moves to shape the environment. The visual aesthetic combines the blocky landscapes reminiscent of Minecraft with the characteristic cute characters and tone of the Pokémon franchise.
The game’s objective centers around creating a suitable home for Pokémon within the newly formed landscape.
