Pokemon Pokopia – the adorable Animal Crossing and Minecraft-like life simulator – was one of the big highlights of the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, but fans are already concerned about the lore implications of our latest protagonist.
As showcased in the trailer, Pokopia sees you step into the shoes of a Ditto – specifically, one who's taken on the form of a human. It's our introduction to this that's raised a few eyebrows, though – we see the 'mon break out of a Poke Ball in the depths of a cave, before spotting a dirty, broken Pokedex on the floor next to it.
