Pokemon Pokopia Reveals Fixes Coming in First Major Update

by

Since launching last week, Pokemon Pokopia has quickly become the most popular game on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. While many players are enjoying the game, some have encountered a few issues. The development team is aware of these problems and is working on fixes.

The team at Pokopia announced on their website today that they’re working on a new update for the game. This patch will mainly focus on fixing bugs players have been finding, especially those related to in-game requests. While Pokopia will likely receive many updates in the future, it’s great to see the developers are quickly addressing these issues.

Here’s everything that is going to be fixed in Pokopia with the game’s first big update:

Known Issues

  • When requesting “Let’s build a home!” in “Pasapasa Koya Town,” Squirtle moves up a tree and cannot be spoken to, preventing the request from progressing.
  •  In the “Gloomy Seaside Town” request “Find a Pokémon Center!”, if you destroy the cracked blocks on the bridge before Mojambo crosses it, it will be difficult to progress with the request.
  •  When performing the “Find a Pokémon Center!” request in “Dusky Seaside Town,” if you follow certain steps, the event to repair the bridge in “Mojumbo” will not occur, and you will not be able to progress with the request.
  •  In “Rugged Mountain Town,” if you follow certain steps, the event where you encounter “Rotom” will no longer occur.
  •  When the request “Let’s clean up the roads!” in “Rugged Mountain Town” occurs under certain circumstances, it becomes difficult to progress with the request.
  •  The type of “Itomaru” in the Pokédex is incorrect.

Improvements Planned

  • In the “Pasapasa Koya Town” request “Break the rocks with a Rock Smasher!”, if you place another block in the position of the cracked block near the “Crab Growl”, it will be difficult to understand how to proceed.
  •  In the “Dusty Seaside Town” request “Take the Professor with you!”, if you place another block in the position of the cracked block near “Snorlax”, it will be difficult to understand how to progress.

When Will This Pokopia Update Release?

We don’t have a firm release date for the Pokemon Pokopia update yet. The developers have said it’s coming “soon” to Switch 2. We expect it to launch sometime next week, but that’s just our guess at this point.

It might be hard to find a copy of Pokopia in stores right now. The game has been selling very quickly since it came out, and Amazon briefly raised its price because of limited availability.
