The game features a diverse cast of characters, like Thaddeus Carminus, a seasoned cook at the Meridian Market, and Salt Pete, a local who believes the oceans of Nivalis hide secrets beyond just strange creatures and old technology.

The new Pokémon Pokopia game is doing something Nintendo usually doesn’t allow – and it has consequences for future Switch owners. Nintendo previously had a rule meant to benefit those with a Switch 2, but Pokopia is breaking it. This allows Nintendo to potentially overlook a major issue with the Switch 2, while also disadvantaging owners, especially the half who prefer buying physical game cartridges. Pokémon Pokopia is the first exclusive game from Nintendo itself to be released on the controversial Game-Key Card, and I believe this marks the start of the decline for Nintendo’s popular physical game releases.
