Pokémon Pokopia (Japanese: ぽこ あ ポケモン Poco a Pokémon, or ぽこポケ Pocopoké for short) is a spin-off Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch 2. The player takes control of Ditto, who transforms to look like a human and explores the world while collecting materials, building structures, and learning moves from befriended Pokémon. It released worldwide on March 5, 2026.

The game was announced worldwide on September 12, 2025, at 10 P.M. JST via Nintendo Direct. The game will be available in Japanese, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. The digital version of the game was made available for pre-order worldwide on the Nintendo eShop on November 12, 2025, while the physical version on a game-key card was made available to pre-order worldwide on November 13, 2025.

In addition to various retailer exclusive pre-order bonuses, players who purchase the game by January 31, 2027 can receive a Ditto rug to decorate their room with.

Gameplay

The game features Ditto as the protagonist, who has transformed to look like a human after waking from a long slumber. The world has withered and humans are gone, and the only remaining resident is a Tangrowth who lives alone in the wasteland.[1] Ditto can explore the world and create a cozy environment for Pokémon, rebuilding a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time. Ditto can befriend Pokémon and take advantage of its moves, such as Leafage from Bulbasaur to grow patches of grass or Water Gun from Squirtle to water dried-up plants.[2] Ditto can also collect different materials to build furniture, structures, and grow vegetables to attract other Pokémon.[3] The game features a real-time day-night cycle, as well as weather conditions which can change the environment.
