We played Pokémon Pokopia, ask us anything
Pokémon’s 30th anniversary is here and Nintendo (and The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, and Omega Force) are kicking things off with a surprisingly excellent life simulation spinoff game. Pokémon Pokopia arrives on March 5th, and it’s one of the first Pokémon titles that will debut exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Equal parts Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Dragon Quest Builders, Pokopia reimagines the Pokémon world as a massive, human-free paradise that you can rebuild however you want. Pokopia easily could have been a straightforward game about making friends and crafting neighborhoods. But as our review discusses, Pokopia’s a much bigger adventure than it initially seems, and we want to talk to you about it.
For the past week, my colleague Kallie Plagge and I have been playing the game and we’re going to be answering questions from Verge subscribers this afternoon. If you’ve been wondering what kinds of things there are to build, how in-game friendships work, or whether there are more character customization options, we’ve got you covered. We won’t be spoiling anything juicy you should discover for yourselves, but we’re here to share some personal insights.
So, start thinking about what you might want to ask, and we’ll be back this afternoon at 2 PM ET with some answers.
