An early prototype of the upcoming Pokemon Pokopia has been leaked online. The Pokemon Pokopia prototype is fully playable, and looks quite different from the version shown by Nintendo.
Pokemon Pokopia was announced in September’s Nintendo Direct, with a release expected for 2026. The upcoming Pokemon game allows the player to control a Ditto that has transformed into a human and can learn abilities from other Pokemon they find. Gamers have discussed how Pokemon Pokopia had strong Minecraft vibes when it was unveiled, but an early prototype of the awaited title shows a fairly different aesthetic and gameplay.
RyDawgE has recently discovered a leaked playable Unity-based prototype of Pokemon Pokopia. In this early version of the game, which used pixel art and looked more like Stardew Valley than Minecraft, gamers would assign Pokemon to build and harvest resources while working on farm-like locations. Reports indicate that the title was supposed to be a Nintendo Switch 1 game at first, succeeding Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee. It’s also claimed that the project was solely being worked on by Game Freak before being outsourced to Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio.
