The primary protagonist of Pokémon Pokopia is a Ditto.
The story follows a Ditto that transforms into a human-like figure and helps rebuild a post-apocalyptic world for Pokémon. This setup gives the player an unusual role: instead of being a human Trainer collecting a team for League competition, the player is a Pokémon using transformation to participate in everyday construction and community life.
Tangrowth is important to the game’s opening premise and is shown as a partner in the village-building story, but it is not the player character. Pichu and Pidgey are among the Pokémon associated with the game’s broader cast and environments.
The species detail is therefore more precise than simply calling the protagonist “a human.” The apparent human form is an expression of Ditto’s transformation ability, not the character’s original species.
