Pokémon Pokopia depicts the Kanto region in a post-apocalyptic form.
The game begins in a world where humans have disappeared and the environment has become unsuitable for Pokémon. Ditto must help restore habitats so Pokémon populations can recover, turning the familiar region into a setting for rebuilding rather than a journey between gyms.
Kanto is the setting of the original Pokémon games and includes locations such as Pallet Town, Viridian City, and the Pokémon League in other titles. Pokopia reimagines the region through a more desolate and speculative lens, with abandoned spaces and a mystery surrounding the departure of humans.
Because Pokopia includes Pokémon from many generations, players may assume that its world belongs to a later region such as Paldea or Galar. The story’s regional setting is specifically Kanto, even though the game’s roster reaches beyond the original generation.
