At which presentation was Pokémon Pokopia first officially announced?

Pokémon Pokopia was first officially announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation.

The announcement took place on September 12, 2025, when Nintendo showed the game as a new Pokémon experience for Nintendo Switch 2. The reveal introduced its unusual premise: players would control a Ditto transformed to look like a human and would shape an empty landscape into a home for Pokémon.

Nintendo Direct is Nintendo's branded presentation format for game announcements, trailers, and updates. It is separate from Pokémon Presents, which is a Pokémon-focused presentation format. That distinction is useful because both programs have revealed Pokémon news in the past.

The announcement date and the release date are also different facts. Pokopia was revealed in September 2025 but did not launch until March 5, 2026. The original announcement established the game's platform, broad concept, and planned 2026 release window.
