Game Freak has released a new video interview with Shigeru Ohmori, in which he describes the development of Pokémon Pokopia while showcasing some early prototype footage. According to Ohmori, development on Pokopia began soon after Scarlet and Violet wrapped, with just three people working on it: Ohmori himself along with two programmers. This soon grew to five people, and the idea of planting grass to spawn various types of Pokémon was already implemented at the early prototyping stage. As for Ditto, he wanted to ensure that the player character was the proper scale when compared to the other Pokémon. It's a fascinating glimpse into the development of Pokopia, and we hope to see more videos like this from Game Freak in the near future.
