"Welcome back ACNH treasure islands": Pokemon Pokopia fan creates Cloud Island you can use to get some of the cozy game's rarest goodies, and it's reminding us all of our Animal Crossing days

A player runs towards the Pokemon Pokopia release time.

It's no secret that Pokemon Pokopia is a hit with Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans (hi, it's me), thanks to its cozy gameplay loop and relaxing island vibes – but now, thanks to players, it's even more like the adorable Nintendo gem that stole our hearts in 2020.

If you haven't heard of "treasure islands" in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, they aren't as active as they were during the peak COVID era, but they're still around.

Put simply, fans would (and still do) set up their islands – islands that are, admittedly, often modded or on hacked consoles – with all sorts of rare items and goodies, and open them up to visitors so that folks could more easily secure their most sought-after objects.
