"One of the most surprising reveals during today's Nintendo Direct is that Pokemon has a new game, Pokemon Pokopia, coming next year, and it's a big departure for the franchise. From the reveal trailer, Pokopia looks like a cross between Minecraft, Animal Crossing, and Dragon Quest Builders set in the Pokemon universe. There are no battles to fight in this cozy game, so this might be a utopia for any battle-weary Pokemon."
"Players assume control of a Ditto--a Pokemon that can mimic other creatures--who has taken on the form of a human. The Ditto can craft materials and buildings in addition to borrowing powers from various Pokemon to grow crops and take care of the creatures under their care. Pokemon Pokopia will be released on Switch 2 in 2026, but it doesn't have an exact release date yet."
"Following the reveal of Pokemon Pokopia, Nintendo announced that the next game in the franchise, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, will be getting a paid DLC expansion and two new Mega evolutions. A recent video from Pokemon Legends: Z-A also introduced Malamar as an influencer in the world of the game. Earlier this week, Nintendo secured a patent that may reshape the future of Pokemon-inspired games like Palworld."
Pokemon Pokopia is a new noncombat title set in the Pokemon universe that blends elements of Minecraft, Animal Crossing, and Dragon Quest Builders. Players control a Ditto in human form who crafts materials, constructs buildings, borrows powers from other Pokemon, grows crops, and cares for creatures. The game emphasizes cozy, utopian gameplay without battles. Pokemon Pokopia is scheduled for Switch 2 in 2026 with no exact date announced. Nintendo also revealed paid DLC and two new Mega evolutions for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, showcased Malamar as an in-game influencer, and secured a patent related to summoning-and-fighting mechanics.
