A life simulation game about creating a safe haven for the titular creatures, created by the Game Freak studio. In Pokemon: Pokopia, we can play as a character named Ditto. Our tasks include farming, gathering resources, raising buildings, and attracting more Pokemon to live with us.
The Pokemon brand is mainly known for its RPG games. Nonetheless, for the purposes of the project described here, Game Freak studio decided to approach the topic of breeding titular monsters in a slightly different way. They created a life simulation game under the title Pokemon: Pokopia. For the purpose of creating it, the developers established cooperation with Koei Tecmo company.
In Pokemon: Pokopia we watch the events from a bird's eye view.
During the game we take on the role of Ditto - a creature capable of changing its form, which has taken a liking to resemble a human. Our task is to build an environment that diverse Pokemon will be able to call their home. For this purpose, we must work hard, using various useful skills that we learn from other creatures.
We engage in farming (Bulbasaur can teach us how to plant grass) and plant care (Squirtle will show us how to water them), as well as gathering materials (like rocks or wood) and building houses for our Pokemon. Working and developing a sanctuary for Pokemon, we gradually transform this place into a city, to which we can invite both the titular creatures and other players.
The fun is enhanced by changing weather conditions and the day and night cycle, which is linked to the time in the real world.
