Nintendo unveils Animal Crossing-like Pokémon Pokopia and Legends Z-A DLC

During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, The Pokémon Company and the publisher announced two new titles, Pokémon Pokopia, along with Pokémon Legends: Z-A-Mega Dimensions, which will be downloadable content for the new Pokémon Legends: Z-A game

Pokémon Pokopia is a life simulation game offering trainers the opportunity to create their version of a Pokémon paradise. You play as Ditto transformed into a human, who is building the perfect little town for his Pokémon companions.

There’s a day-night cycle, synchronized with real-world time, changing weather conditions, and in-game locations with different characteristics.

It’s like Pokémon meets Animal Crossing. Pokémon Pokopia launches in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A-Mega Dimensions is coming to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and doesn’t have a release date yet. We don’t know much about the upcoming DLC, but the title will involve Hoopa and Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y, two new mega Pokémon.
