"Because of Ditto's malleable form, it's able to change its body to use certain attacks that can help you build structures, break down materials, and perform other handy actions. But it also sounds like Ditto keeps its inventory inside its body, which means it's constantly puking up items to help build the town and shifting its body in ways that would be horrifying if the game weren't so cute."
"It's in the way your character animates when using moves like Water Gun, which have Ditto recoiling as the water spits from its mouth, or growing large, vine-like hands to pick up plants. Your Ditto is expressive but cold at the same time, making it feel like a member of a Vaudeville act. Using Ditto's inhuman abilities to present physical comedy gags helps s personality shine through."
Pokopia launches on Switch 2 as a life-sim and town builder starring Ditto, a transformable character that assists various Pokémon in rebuilding a shared town. Ditto can alter its body to perform moves repurposed for construction, breaking materials, and utility tasks. Inventory is stored inside Ditto's body, causing the character to regurgitate items into the environment during play. Character animation and inhuman abilities emphasize physical comedy and expressive, odd animations. Gameplay evokes mechanics from Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest Builders and hints at Viva Piñata–style garden curation and wildlife attraction within a sizable living world.
