90 minutes. That's all it took to convince me that Pokemon Pokopia is going to take over my life. This cozy, Animal Crossing-flavored take on my favorite creature-collecting series is packing a real punch – moreish exploration, building, and collection mechanics combined with delightful personality and a generous dose of feel-good: even from a short preview session, this is a game I can see myself sinking hundreds of hours into.
Right from the get-go, Pokopia throws you deep into its charm. You play as a lonely Ditto, missing its old trainer (who has, ominously, disappeared without explanation), who you can customize to match your vision before being sent into a desolate region, left in total disrepair, totally absent of people and most Pokemon.
