Pokémon Pokopia brings an Animal Crossing-style life sim to Switch 2 in 2026
Nintendo unveiled Pokémon Pokopia in its Sept. 12, 2025 Direct: a life sim where a human-form Ditto builds a paradise for Pokémon. Developed with KOEI TECMO, it mixes farming, construction, and community building. The Ditto learns skills from Pokémon like Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Hitmonchan, and Timburr to shape the world. Launching in 2026 on Switch 2, it’s a calm, creative spin-off for the series.
