At what Japan Standard Time was Pokémon Pokopia announced?

Pokémon Pokopia was announced at 10 p.m. Japan Standard Time.

The worldwide announcement occurred during a Nintendo Direct on September 12, 2025. The exact time is recorded as 10 p.m. JST, giving the reveal a precise place in the schedule rather than merely identifying the day.

This time can be confused with the release date or preorder dates. The game itself launched on March 5, 2026, while the digital version became available for preorder on November 12, 2025. The 10 p.m. JST detail refers only to the Nintendo Direct announcement.

The reveal introduced Pokopia's unusual premise: a Ditto transformed into a human works to restore a withered world and create a home for Pokémon. That premise distinguished the game from battle-centered Pokémon titles and signaled its life-simulation and sandbox direction.
