Ditto is the player character in Pokémon Pokopia, using its Transform ability to imitate a human.
This premise gives the game its central building and life-simulation theme. Rather than controlling a human trainer, players guide Ditto as it explores a damaged world and helps Pokémon create new habitats. Ditto’s ability to copy forms is a natural fit for customization and environmental interaction.
The concept also distinguishes Pokopia from the main Pokémon role-playing games, where Ditto is usually encountered as a Pokémon useful for breeding or battle strategies. In Pokopia, its transformation is the foundation of the story and gameplay. Players can customize the human-like appearance that Ditto adopts while helping restore the surrounding environment.
Ditto is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I. Its official Pokédex identity is closely associated with transformation, but Pokopia expands that familiar ability into a complete social-simulation adventure.
