Pokémon Pokopia is the first slow-paced life simulation game in the Pokémon franchise, planned and co-developed by The Pokémon Company, GAME FREAK inc., and KOEI TECMO GAMES CO., LTD. With help from Pokémon friends, players rebuild a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time.
In this game, you play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human. During your adventure, you’ll collect materials and craft items to create a cozy home for yourself and make a welcoming environment for lots of Pokémon friends. The in-game time is synchronized with the real world, so you’ll experience in-game weather changes and the day-night cycle, enjoying everyday moments with the many Pokémon who live there.
