In Pokémon Pokopia, players take on the role of a Ditto, who after waking up from a long slumber has transformed into a human. Shortly after, Ditto meets Professor Tangrowth, who lives alone in a place where humans and Pokémon once lived together. From this encounter, Ditto decides to rebuild the area to create a Pokémon paradise. The main tool to carry out this initiative is Ditto's ability to learn the movements of the Pokémon it encounters. For example, Bulbasaur teaches Foliage to keep the neighborhood green and with Lapras Surf you can cross waters.
«Thanks to these moves and others, your neighborhood will become more interesting and attract many more Pokémon,» says The Pokémon Company. «You can interact with visiting Pokémon in many ways: jump rope with Bulbasaur's vines, light bonfires with Charmander, or make a team to help you build houses.» Additionally, some Pokémon can make requests to make the area more comfortable. «Some will be important and will involve solving more complicated problems,» says the development team. «If you fulfill them, you will advance in the game.»
Beyond Professor Tangrowth, players will encounter other mysterious Pokémon. Among them we have Palidachu, a pale Pikachu with drooping ears; Musgorlax, a Snorlax with a moss-covered body and a flower on its head; and Master Smeargle, who has colorful spots all over his body.
In addition to making, building and caring for plants, in Pokémon Pokopia players will receive visits from Pokémon and friends. If you wish you can also relax. In addition, the title has customization options that allow you to change your hairstyle and outfit, as well as create objects and furniture to decorate the environment. The title supports up to four players.
