Pokemon Pokopia review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
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.

Pokemon Pokopia is selling out around the world
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
While we don’t have exact numbers just yet, it looks like Pokemon Pokopia is a smash hit on Nintendo Switch 2 with the game selling out worldwide.
Let’s take a look at the U.S. first. Many retailers do not currently have the game available in stock – and that’s despite the fact that it came on a controversial game-key card. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are not taking orders at this time. Amazon technically has the game in stock, but has strangely increased the price to $80 – perhaps to take advantage of the hype right now.
