Pokémon Pokopia reveals all new details in an extended gameplay reveal
As was promised, an extended gameplay trailer for Pokémon Pokopia has been released, taking around 10 minutes to dive into the game, from new Pokémon and new mechanics, there is a lot to learn. You can check out the video below.
In the reveal trailer, it looked like it was just a random Ditto that was doing the work, but now we know that its under the watchful eye of Professor Tangrowth. The Professor has been living all alone in a place where humans and Pokémon once lived—and appears to be wearing human tools.
Seeing the withered grass and trees, Ditto decides to build the area anew by crafting items and learning moves from other Pokémon, creating a utopia for everyone to live in, one step at a time.
The player can learn moves from the Pokémon they meet, helping to create habitats where different Pokémon will appear. The moves they learn can also be used for other purposes, such as smashing walls with Rock Smash, adding more greenery with Leafage, going from mountain to mountain in a single leap with Glide, or travelling across water with Surf.
Players can also interact with the Pokémon they meet, including playing jump rope with Bulbasaur’s vines, having Charmander light fires, or teaming up with lots of Pokémon to build houses to live in.
Pokémon may come to the player with requests for making their environment a more comfortable place to live. Some will even have important requests tied to solving larger problems. Fulfilling these requests will lead to the development of the entire area.
Players can also look forward to switching up their look with different hairstyles or outfits, and crafting items or furniture to personalise their surroundings.
In addition to Professor Tangrowth, players will encounter other mysterious Pokémon.
Peakychu: A pale Pikachu with drooping ears whose fur is a mysterious colour.
Mosslax: Moss has grown all over this Snorlax’s body, and it looks as though a flower is blooming atop its head. It must have been asleep for a really long time.
Smearguru: A Smeargle with vibrant colours splattered across its body. It almost looks like a painter when it uses its tail as a brush.
As was revealed the other day, the game will arrive this March 5 as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.
