Preorders are now available for Pokemon Pokopia, an upcoming spinoff that combines elements of Minecraft with the classic Pokémon formula. Scheduled for release on March 5, 2026, this game offers players a unique open-world experience where they can build a utopia for Pokémon.
In Pokemon Pokopia, humanity has disappeared, leaving behind a desolate world inhabited only by Pokémon. The player takes on the role of a Ditto, a shape-shifting Pokémon, who, under the guise of a human, teams up with the sole resident, Professor Tangrowth, to restore the land and encourage other Pokémon to return.
Exploration is key, as players will navigate various islands using their transformation ability to traverse water and reach new locations. Crafting will play a significant role, allowing players to gather materials for tools and infrastructure to improve their Pokémon paradise.
The game is priced at $70 and can be preordered now at major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. As an added incentive, players who preorder will receive an exclusive in-game Ditto rug for their Pokopia world.
Moreover, Pokemon Pokopia will use a Game Key Card, meaning the physical cartridge serves primarily as an authentication device. Players will need to download the complete game onto their consoles. The game is expected to require about 10GB of storage, so it might be wise to consider expanding storage capacity with a microSD card.
