Who is credited as the designer of Pokémon Pokopia?

Megumi Sawada is credited as the designer of Pokémon Pokopia.

The game’s credits list Sawada in the designer role. In a video-game production, design can involve shaping how systems, activities, progression, and player interactions work, although a single credit does not necessarily describe every design task performed by the wider team.

Pokopia’s design is built around creative and social activities. Players can develop habitats, construct spaces, explore the environment, and interact with Pokémon. These systems distinguish the game from the battle-centered structure of many main-series Pokémon entries.

Sawada’s credit should not be confused with Ken Sugimori’s famous role in Pokémon character art and visual direction across the broader franchise. Pokopia has several specialized creative credits, including design and art, and the named designer for this title is Megumi Sawada.
