Pokémon Pokopia is the social-simulation game starring a Ditto that imitates a human while restoring a deserted Pokémon world.
The player controls this unusual Ditto protagonist as it explores a post-apocalyptic setting, builds habitats, gathers materials, and helps Pokémon return to places made suitable for them. The transformation ability gives the game its central premise and distinguishes it from conventional Pokémon adventures.
Pokopia belongs to the Pokémon franchise but is a spin-off rather than a main-series role-playing game. Its gameplay blends crafting and sandbox construction with social interaction, habitat management, and real-time environmental changes.
Players may associate the premise with ordinary Ditto appearances, but the game’s Ditto takes on a human-like form after finding its trainer’s old Pokédex. That story detail explains why the protagonist can interact with the world in a human-style way while still learning Pokémon moves.
