Ever since The Pokémon Firm announced Pokémon Pokopia, the Animal Crossing-style life sim recreation has appeared just a little off. Your character helps rebuild a small city so Pokémon can dwell there, however the area is stuffed with desecrated buildings, and people are nowhere to be discovered. Followers have been speculating that the comfy recreation may not be so cozy in any case, and that it might happen in a post-apocalyptic version of the Kanto region from the unique Pokémon video games.

Simply how a lot Pokopia will reckon with this stays to be seen, however the atmosphere isn’t the one indicator that one thing horrible occurred in Kanto on this recreation. The sport contains new forms for Pikachu, Snorlax, and Smeargle which have components to their character design that suggest a number of time has handed since they final interacted with people. I’m actually curious to see how deep this recreation goes into its tragic “what if” storyline relating to Swap 2 on March 5.
