In which month was Pokémon Pokopia announced?

Pokémon Pokopia was announced in September 2025.

The announcement took place during a Nintendo Direct, where the new Pokémon spin-off was presented as a slow-life sandbox game. The reveal showed a very different direction from the battle-centered structure associated with the main series.

At announcement, the central idea was a Ditto transformed into a human and working with Pokémon to rebuild a damaged world. Players were shown building, crafting, and creating habitats designed to attract Pokémon.

The announcement month comes before the game’s worldwide release in March 2026. It also predates later information about the expansion pass, including the first expansion, Bubbly Basin, which released in August 2026.
