Pokopia: Rebuild a Shattered World with Unique Pokémon

The entire point is to meet new pokémon (instead of catching them) as you rebuild and beautify a ruined world. But as much emphasis as Pokopia puts on slowly cultivating friendships, the game gradually transforms into a sprawling adventure that you can customize however you want. In Pokopia, you play as an unusual Ditto who gets separated from its human partner and wakes up alone in a world that initially seems devoid of other living beings.

All your Ditto remembers is its trainer's face -- the game's character customization options offer a variety of skin tones and hairstyles, but is initially limited in fashion -- and it transforms into a duplicate of them because it feels lonely. Your Ditto's trainer mimicry is convincing enough to get an old Pokédex's face recognition working again, but what really surprises the gloopy monster is encountering an odd Tangrowth who thinks of itself as a kind of Professor and is downright shocked to meet a "human."' Unlike Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which gives you an almost entirely blank slate to work with, Pokopia drops you into a dilapidated but built-out world that's in need of some serious restoration.
