Gameplay Features
First introduced during a major September event, Pokémon Pokopia combines elements from beloved titles such as Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and Dragon Quest Builders. The game allows you to recruit and befriend various Pokémon species to transform the landscape, gather resources, and construct homes for yourself and your Pokémon companions.
Players will take on the role of a human-form Ditto, acquiring abilities from other Pokémon. By learning from a Grass-type Bulbasaur, you’ll gain the power to grow plants, while training with a Water-type Squirtle will enable you to water them. Shape your environment by channeling Hitmonchan’s strength or build wooden structures using Timburr’s skills.
