Reviews for Pokemon Pokopia are starting to come out, and so far, they're enough to push the game ahead of any other title in the series. While the franchise has had a couple of missteps, with some recent games failing to captivate the fanbase the way previous efforts have, it seems to be off to a strong start in 2026. It remains to be seen how most people feel about Pokemon Pokopia, but early reviews are a promising sign.
When The Pokemon Company first unveiled Pokopia, it immediately drew comparisons to Minecraft and Animal Crossing. That alone was enough to excite some fans, and the hype would grow as more came out about the game. A leaked screenshot suggested that Pokemon Pokopia has at least 300 entries in its Pokedex, meaning it has more Pokemon to encounter than 2025's Legends: Z-A. Now, on the cusp of its release, it has another feather to add to its cap.
Pokemon Pokopia gets a new trailer in the latest Pokemon Presents, giving fans a new look at the game's cooking mechanics and a Gen 2 legendary.
