Pokémon’s first life simulation game, Pokémon Pokopia, will release on Nintendo Switch 2 on March 5, 2026. Playing as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human, you can collect wood, rocks, and other crafting materials to create a cozy home. Ditto can learn moves from other Pokémon and utilize those moves to help build your very own Pokémon paradise. For example, Ditto can use Bulbasaur’s Leafage to add greenery to the landscape or Squirtle’s Water Gun to hydrate plants. By creating a lush, welcoming environment, more Pokémon will visit.

Optimized for console hardware. Performance may vary by model.
