New information has emerged about the impact of Pokemon Pokopia on Nintendo Switch 2 sales.

A few tidbits have been released about the console’s performance in the UK during March. We’re hearing that Nintendo Switch 2 saw a 154 percent increase month-on-month, which was driven by Pokemon Pokopia. That’s according to Nielsen IQ.

A special Ikea cloud island will be appearing in Pokemon Pokopia beginning April 1, and will run until June 30. This collaboration comes to us through the celebration of Ikea’s 20th anniversary of arriving to Japan.

This Ikea island is to feature special room sets designed by actual Ikea designers. The island is to feature two themed rooms, one being inspired by Pikachu, and another by Snorlax. These special rooms are also going to be recreated in actual participating Japanese Ikea stores as shown in the image above.

Animal Crossing Pokemon Pokopia lessons

When Pokemon Pokopia was first announced for Nintendo Switch 2, I don’t think any of us really saw the game’s incredible success coming. However, it released to rave reviews just recently, and it’s so polished and well thought-out that it truly gives Animal Crossing a run for its money. In fact, many of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ biggest problems – namely its lackluster multiplayer and numerous design hurdles and limitations – feel like they were specifically addressed in Pokemon Pokopia. As a result, Pokopia actually feels like another Animal Crossing game – just with an overarching story and a bigger focus on progression. Compared to New Horizons, Pokopia has been met with an outpouring of love and support from the Pokemon community – in fact, it may be the best-received Pokemon title of the past several years. So today, we’re going over all of the bits and pieces Animal Crossing could lift from Pokopia for its next title.

March 4: To mark the launch of Pokemon Pokopia, new icons have just been made available on Nintendo Switch Online.

Designs are available for characters, backgrounds, and frames. For each character, it costs 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo. Backgrounds and frames go for 5 Platinum Points each.

Pokemon Pokopia review

System: Switch 2
Release date: March 5, 2026
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Nintendo

As someone who loves Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft, Pokemon Pokopia sneaked its way onto my radar when it first revealed in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. On paper, this had a chance to be Nintendo’s lightning in a bottle – Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft are some of the best-selling franchises of all time, and Pokopia promised to combine elements from all three to create the next big life simulator game. It’s strange, though – the game always looked charming and interesting on the surface, but I never found myself hyping up its release. I didn’t see a ton of hype online, either – most likely, none of us really knew what we were getting into. Pokemon fans are always hopeful that the latest game is a good one, and often times they find themselves disappointed with major releases like Sword, Shield, Scarlet, and Violet. I myself was cautiously optimistic going in… which is to say, I already have 50 hours, it’s completely consumed my life, I can’t imagine life without it, and this is the Switch 2 system seller Nintendo has been looking for.
