Omega Force’s Dragon Quest Builders 2 experience influenced Pokémon Pokopia’s development.
Pokopia was conceived around the idea of letting players cultivate Pokémon habitats, but Game Freak partnered with Omega Force because of Omega Force’s experience with sandbox games. Dragon Quest Builders 2 was specifically associated with that expertise.
The connection helps explain Pokopia’s emphasis on constructing spaces, gathering materials, and changing the environment. It does not mean that Pokopia is a Dragon Quest title or a direct sequel. Instead, the earlier game served as relevant experience for the developers working on a new Pokémon format.
Game Freak remains essential to Pokopia’s creation and Pokémon identity, which can make the development history easy to oversimplify. The precise answer is Omega Force: the studio whose sandbox experience, including work on Dragon Quest Builders 2, helped inform the collaboration.
