Pokémon Pokopia: The first Pokémon life simulation game announced for 2026
An announcement that's already causing a stir: Pokémon Pokopia will arrive in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.

A unique concept: living as a human Metamorph
In Pokémon Pokopia, the player embodies a Ditto transformed into a human . This character can collect wood, stone, and other resources to build their own home . The originality? Ditto can learn the abilities of other Pokémon and use them to enrich their environment. For example, Bulbasaur's Foliage will add a touch of vegetation, while Squirtle's O-Gun will be used to water the plants.
Build, decorate, and attract Pokémon
The goal is simple: build a little Pokémon paradise. The richer, greener, and more welcoming the environment, the more Pokémon will come to live there. The player can also craft furniture, grow vegetables, and build homes to create a unique community. This gameplay is reminiscent of the great classics of the genre (Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley) while incorporating Pokémon magic.
A living world with natural cycles
