In which area does Ditto awaken in Pokémon Pokopia?

The story behind the answer

Ditto awakens in the Withered Wasteland in Pokémon Pokopia.

The Withered Wasteland is the game’s opening area and the place where Ditto begins its journey. The landscape is damaged, dry, and largely empty, establishing the post-apocalyptic setting that the player must gradually repair.

After awakening, Ditto meets Tangrowth, who becomes known as Professor Tangrowth. The two begin investigating the disappearance of humans and other Pokémon while working to restore habitats. The area therefore serves as both the tutorial environment and the first major story setting.

Withered Wasteland is one of several named environments in Pokopia. Bleak Beach is another ruined region, while later content includes areas connected to the expansion pass. Players may mix up the opening wasteland with the broader Kanto setting, but the specific place where Ditto wakes is the Withered Wasteland.
