Pokemon Pokopia Hasn’t Given Me a Reason to Pre-Order, But That’s Nothing New For the Series

It’s not going to be long before the first Pokemon game exclusive to the Switch 2 console comes out, and that is the upcoming Pokemon Pokopia, scheduled for release on March 5 of this year. Pokemon Pokopia is more of a cozy game like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, rather than something akin to what the Pokemon series has had to offer so far, but it’s still a refreshing and exciting take on the monster-collecting universe that could even spark new lore discussions with its setting and unique forms for Snorlax or Pikachu. As such, if you like the genre already, or you’re into a shift from the usual formula, Pokemon Pokopia may be the next best thing for you, to the point you may want to pre-order it.
