Players speculate that "Pokémon: Pokopia" will be set in a post-apocalyptic world

"Pokémon: Pokopia" is a cute and warm Pokémon life simulation game created by Omega Force, similar in style to "Animal Crossing" or "Stardew Valley".Players will play as a variety monster that transforms into a human to help local wild Pokémon build a new home. Although it is a bit uncomfortable to see round-eyed humans running around, this setting seems to be enough to support Pokopia's life simulation gameplay.However, as more and more content is exposed in the game, there seems to be a dark truth hidden under the surface, causing players to speculate wildly and various theories are emerging.

It's unclear why the Pokémon world has turned into what it is, but the leading theory is that the world of Pokopia may be in some kind of post-apocalyptic timeline - after a disaster, humans and Pokémon have been separated for many years.As early as the first trailer released in September, there were clues hinting at this possibility: In the picture, the Dichotomy escaped from the Poké Ball into a cave, which seemed to have been inhabited by a trainer.The Pokémon stared at the dusty Pokédex on the ground before transforming into the trainer in the photo in the Pokédex.The fact that the Pokédex had clearly been exposed to the elements for so long was disturbing in itself, but there were more signs that something was amiss in the world of Pokopia.

Yesterday, Nintendo released an extended trailer for Pokopia, revealing several new Pokémon variants that appear to embody the passage of time and lack of human interaction.A Kirby beast is covered in moss, as if it has been sleeping for too long, and nature has grown wantonly on its huge body.A Tutu dog in the game is covered in paint, as if he keeps painting but never cleans himself up.The biggest surprise is a white Pikachu named Peakychu, who looks sickly and even ghost-like.Could it be the soul of a long-dead Pikachu? It's very possible.

The clearest evidence that humans have disappeared for a long time comes from Professor Vine Monster.This Pokémon's hair is slightly gray with vines all over its body. It is wearing a broken move learning machine, like a doctor's forehead mirror, as if it was an item found in the rubble.In the trailer, the Vine Monster tells the Variety Monster that humans and Pokémon once lived together in this place, but now that the buildings have been destroyed and the plants have withered, it "hasn't seen other people for a long time."When it said this, it was rummaging through the ruins of a place that looked like a collapsed and overgrown Pokémon Center.Whatever disaster forced humans and Pokémon to leave this place was a long time ago.Some players pointed out that judging from the town layout, it is quite similar to the light red city in "Pokémon Red and Blue"; and Pokopia seems to be located near a group of islands, so this may be what this coastal city looks like after the disaster.

Whatever the truth, it's clear that something terrible happened to the place we're about to take care of in Pokopia.The Pokémon series occasionally dabbles in dark, life-or-death plots, but I didn’t expect that such a setting might be adopted in a game that is supposed to focus on a healing atmosphere.We’ll know more details once the game launches on Switch 2 on March 5th.
