Nintendo has announced a rather unexpected Pokémon spin-off, Pokopia. Revealed during the 12th September Nintendo Direct, the new game is coming to Switch 2 in 2026 and is being developed by Koei Tecmo Games. In the game players are tasked with creating their own Pokémon paradise, with Ditto as the protagonist - albeit Ditto taking on a human-like appearance. Over time, players can develop a town of their own and invite other players or Pokémon to visit. Pokémon Pokopia also features a day-night cycle linked to real-world time, changing weather, and in-game locations with their own unique characteristics.
