I liked the combat more than others did but I agree it can be a slog at times with assist mode disabled. But the worldbuilding!!!

Also, the level of gore made me laugh (complimentary).

It sacrifices some niche, granular stat control for approachability, which competitive Pokémon has desperately needed for a while.26 Mar 2026 19:35 +0000at://did:plc:cywu5lwxcb3xlehtmgnuoygk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhydxn6vos22https://bsky.app/profile/inkydojikko.bsky.social/post/3mgdrk5mznc2dPokopia has a whole 3D printer and it surprised me so much that I ended up reanalyzing how Pokémon treats technology in general.

It's very clever in how it puts a Pokémon spin on games like Minecraft and Viva Piñata and I agree with Charles that it's more than the sum of those parts. Stay tuned for more from us on Pokopia :) [contains quote post or other embedded content]02 Mar 2026 16:37 +0000at://did:plc:cywu5lwxcb3xlehtmgnuoygk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg3otdg4z22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/inkydojikko.bsky.social/post/3mfuibborss2oI love pocket monsters :)27 Feb 2026 19:51 +0000at://did:plc:cywu5lwxcb3xlehtmgnuoygk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfuibborss2o
