What is Pokémon Pokopia’s fictional setting described as?

Pokémon Pokopia is set in a post-apocalyptic world.

The game begins after a major collapse has left the landscape damaged and largely empty. Humans and most Pokémon are gone from the opening area, leaving Ditto and the remaining residents to investigate the ruins and restore the environment.

Despite that premise, Pokopia is not presented as a grim survival-horror game. Its visual style is colorful and welcoming, and the player’s response to the ruined world is creative rebuilding. Gardening, crafting, decorating, and helping Pokémon gradually transform the setting into a livable community.

The phrase “post-apocalyptic” describes the condition of the world at the beginning of the story, not a real-world disaster. The mystery of what happened is part of the narrative, while the everyday gameplay remains peaceful and family-friendly. This combination of a collapsed setting with cozy construction activities is one of the game’s most distinctive contrasts.
