Pokémon Pokémon Pokopia

I'll be honest and say I haven't really done any research on this and kind of half-listened to the direct, but it's really cute! It reminds me of a mix of Animal Crossing, Stardew, and Minecraft. I'll probably check it out and I think there's a demo so I'll try it! I'm a little bothered by the whole gamecard thing though...
 
Me and my little sister watched the trailer with our parents and we all immediately fell in love. I especially love Smearguru and Mosslax! The goofy Ditto MC has me hooked. Sadly, I don't own a Switch 2, so we'd have to share our father's.
 
The game looks really nice! At first I was not into it but the more I see the more I enjoy the gameplay. I stopped a long time ago to purchase games at release but I can totally see myself buying it down the line. Best part is my husband is also interested so we could play together.

I stopped buying Pokemon games a long time ago because it is just not a good game anymore… So I hope this one can break the cycle.
 
Honestly this game was an instant "no" for me because, try as I might, I can't get over the on-model Pokemon clashing with the goofy ditto-person. I also don't think they fit in with the setting, but I've found that to be more of a me thing.

I will not pretend to know better about game design, or what had to be done to finish the game on time, but personally I'm an art direction snob and I think I would probably have given this game the time of day if the other pokemon had models just for this game. Even if they were simpler, like those cube-y Pokemon Quest ones.

For me, while I like the overall design/art style, I really dislike the interior decor items.

Big agree with this.

On paper this sounds like exactly my kind of game but I just don't wanna be that ditto human character. I'd really prefer if the player could just be a Pokemon (more like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon) or even a ditto version of a Pokemon (with ditto face) rather than a human.
