Ditto is the Pokémon that stars in Pokémon Pokopia.
At the beginning of the story, Ditto discovers a world abandoned by humans and unsuitable for Pokémon. Its distinctive transformation ability allows it to imitate a human form, which becomes central to the game’s construction and exploration premise. The player guides this Ditto while it helps restore damaged habitats.
The protagonist is not a human trainer in the usual Pokémon sense. Instead, the game presents a Pokémon taking on a human-like appearance and working directly with other Pokémon. This choice explains why Pokopia can combine familiar Pokémon characters with activities such as building, gathering, crafting, and community development.
Ditto should not be confused with Mew, another Pokémon associated with transformation-related abilities in the franchise. In Pokopia, the protagonist’s identity is specifically Ditto, and its transformation is a story and gameplay feature rather than a temporary battle tactic alone.
