When did Pokémon Pokopia release worldwide?

Pokémon Pokopia released worldwide on March 5, 2026. The date marks its global launch as a Nintendo Switch 2 title, not merely the date of a trailer, demo, or regional announcement.

The game arrived as a spin-off of the Pokémon series with a very different structure from traditional badge-and-battle adventures. Players guide a Ditto through a ruined version of Kanto, restoring habitats, crafting objects, and helping Pokémon communities recover.

The release date is sometimes confused with the game’s announcement date or with later sales reports. Its worldwide launch followed its promotional reveal and preceded the reported milestone of 2.2 million units sold during its first four days. Pokémon Pokopia was also released during the franchise’s 30th-anniversary period.
