We’re preparing for a big party in the newest look at Pokémon Pokopia with Stereo Rotom.. Better known as DJ Rotom! Stereo Rotom, a stereo-shaped form of Rotom that other Pokémon call DJ Rotom. If you give it one of the CDs you find during your adventures, it’ll play music for you. A special Greedent was also shown, who will teach you how to cook and serve dishes that other Pokémon prefer. Similar to games like Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest Builders, Pokopia relies more on active, ability-based environmental manipulation (e.g., using a Pokémon to clear rocks or water plants) rather than just furniture placement. You can share the wonders of your town with friends, too. Play with up to three other people and visit their towns—or invite them to your own! Play games such as hide-and-seek or work together to build impressive objects in your world. Pokémon Pokopia will be available on March 5th for the Nintendo Switch 2, pre-order your copy now!
