>>59024218Reminder that this took place Centuries after the mainline games. It also stated that it's more of a Wall-e situation as human's activity took its toll on the planet, and thus they have to leave it for it to recover thanks to the returning legendaries and mythicals.
Finally unlocked bigger storage boxes and made a big ass shed then organized all my itemsOCD vanished
I like how the only way we can ever get good Pokémon games is when a third party develops it.This is genuinely my favorite Pokémon game of all time.
Why the fuck did Tyrogue hijack my pokemon center I busted my ass to build and turn it into his shop
>here's your new protagonist
is palette town the one your friends can visit?
>>59024272Yeah, Palette Town is the multiplayer location
Did they just not make that many physical copies?Every store I go to has no copies left.
>>59024294Why aren't you buying digital?
I can't get Lapras to spawn in Vermillion city.I got Piplup to give me the hint for it, built the habitat, and its been there for almost 24 hours now and no Lapras.I even have some other habitats that haven't spawned anything in a long time too. Am I missing something obvious?
>>59024294they didn't make any physical copies, just keycards.
>>59024270Sex incarnate.
>>59024237I just realized you can just ask gulpin to follow you around and shovel your extra items into him.
Am I supposed to be doing something with the Ho-oh feathers
There's so much shit to do, I just started building the poke center in the first area and despite still having 1000 things to do there, went into the second area just to check it out and now I'm balls deep in a fucking mine shaft. This game is great.
>>59024416you give them to Gimmighoul and it trades you furniture in exchange
Vermillion > Fuschia > Pewter Haven't evaluated the last one yet. Almost don't want to talk about it because I' worried spoilers will ruin the fun.
>>59024433you can also use them for regular trades, they are worth a lot.
Sell me on the game, I'm on the fence
The more you play the better it keeps on getting, huh?
i accidentally gave a cd to prof tangela how do i get it back? also I got a CD RACK but can't store CDs in it? reeeeeee
>>59024433Thank you anon
>>59024521I think items you give as gifts are pretty much gone forever, but the CD's will re-appear eventually.
>>59024513So GF was the real problem all along?
Does anybody else feel the need to dig out all the volcanic ash around Pewter?
>>59024638Yeah, one of the many things that's got me autismed up in this game
I'm building the Pokemon center in the first area and they say it's going to take a day. Do they mean like a real life day?
>>59024658Yes. Just set the clock forward on your Switch waiting is gay
Is there an infinite amount of iron?I need some for a quest and I can't find any
>>59024665You can show Drifloon an Arcanine plush to go to an island with iron ores
Music rip when?
We love Peakychu (Usuchu) here!
I think something neat about Pokopia is that it's probably the first pokemon game / spin off where all the secrets, easter eggs, gimmicks etc didn't get leaked a month in advance since X/Y
I cannot for the life of me find this Charmander that lives on my cloud island. I don't know what to do.
>>59024391Is there something I'm missing why do people keep posting this screenshot everywhere
>>59024391
>>59024735Go to where his home is and use honey
New here, is there a way to convert my logs into lumber?
>>59024943You can get a pokemon to do it, Scyther is likely the first one with the ability
>>59024229No it’s not. It’s set just a couple years after the main timeline.
Advice on having fun with this? I’ve played like 4 hours and not really even sure what I’m supposed to be doing.
Do NOT unspoiler if you're easy to get turned on. You've been warned...
>>59024966You sure? It said that Koga and Jasmine lived in the distant past according to one of the notes.
>>59024966Wrong
>>59024980Does his tail shrivel up in cold water like a penis or is he just a tailet?
>>59024627Quite much, but then again game borrows Dragon Quest Builders formula that works wonders with it.
>>59024719That's because it was mostly handled by Koei Tecmo.
Could I theoretically softlock myself by breaking all the boulders?I finished the game and found no way of creating any new ones, meaning it's very possible to just obliterate all of them.
>>59024719I'm glad - I miss the days where people didn't know everything a game had to offer seconds after it released. Finding all the surprises, hidden unlocks, and secret endings are supposed to be part of the fun - something lost on today's kids who have no patience or attention span for actually playing a game without speed running it and abandoning it a week or less later.
>>59025029>histhat's my wife you're talking about
>>59025044I know that surprise element is kinda big deal to the franchise, but I still say that all leaks that leads to disappointment to many is well deserved to GF company, just because they are still incompetent dev.
>>59025002>>59025012Yea, there’s a note that talks about an interview with Misty that was held in August which was right before the climate project the professor was planning was started.
>>59024978you make habitats and play with all your new neighbors and do the "story" questsif you don't have fun with that then turn it off and play something else
>>59024229>CenturiesUnsure about that, I was thinking 30-40 yearsIn the SS Anne ruins, you can find a diary from a Sailor who shares a name with one of the Sailors on the ship from FRLG. Apparently holds true in other languages as well, so it's not just localizers being retarded. So realistically it has to be before that dude retires.
>>59025087>>59025084Thing is that those notes could take place centuries between each other (plus one note states that CDs are are relic of ancient times).
>>59024229Why the hell would it be centuries later if Ditto’s trainer is still alive you retard
How do I get the pre-order bonus?
>>59025097never watched Interestellar?
>>59025102At the PC there should be a mystery gift option somewhere
>>59025097After the mainline games, read thoroughly you faggot. It means that the Crisis occurred long after your adventures in WiWa and other mainline titles. >>59025097Time Dilation is a bitch in space; what's 15 mins outside of the solar system could be 15 days on earth.
>>59024330You can literally trade it around. It's a physical copy.
>>59025029>hisAlso yes, she's a tailet - she's literally sickly and dying because she used up all of her electricity to save her friends, and her body is withering.
Here's all of the note locatons: https://game8.co/games/Pokemon-Pokopia/archives/584648I'll wait until someone posted an archive of all of them.
>>59025121It's physical, but not a copy.
I just can't help but think the Pokopia Ditto will replace Minecraft Steve in Smash Bros.
pokopia mc is cuter but dqb2 has the better graphics despite running on the switch 1 and being a decade old
>>59025086How do I get story quests? When I talk to the professor and ask what to do next he just says the make sure the pokemon are comfortable, but I gave them all what they asked for
>>59024312I am not the same guy but it's nice owning, even if it's a keycard you can borrow it to others or even sell it if the game isn't to your liking
>>59025135It is a copy. That refers to the key, which is a copy. Same as buying a digital game, you're buying a copy.
>>59025111You sound fucking stupid. Read the notes you dumbass. Everything went to hell after the old man and his fully evolved Machamp finished building the tower in Vermillion. It didn’t all go down in the far future with everyone’s descendants, the characters we know and love caused the end of the world. The point in time Ditto wakes up is at the most a couple decades after the main games.
>>59025154So it's not a copy of the game, got it, thanks.
>>59025147how are you getting filtered by the tutorial
>>59025165>The point in time Ditto wakes up is at the most a couple decades after the main games.A note in the final area says that the foundations were starting to push up, deforming the soil and that "in hundreds, maybe thousands of years, the whole area will look like it's atop a mountain"Seeing as you're literally above the clouds, I'd say it's been hundreds of years at the absolute shortest possible.
>>59024678Thanks. I'll do that
>>59025174Idk, I’ve played for like 4-5 hours over 2 days. What do I do?
>>59025165Adding onto this anon, the SS Anne and the Vermillion building are barely decomposed. If it was 100s of years in the future they’d both be ashes
>>59025202how many pokemon have you spawned indid you actually make them comfortable or just do one single thing for each of them and think that's enoughhave you found the pc at the pokemon center rubble yethave you raised the environment level or whatever it is
>>59025039It's because even if someone got a copy early, being a game key card means you still have to wait for Nintendo to let you play it.
>>59025169Lmao, okay retard.
>pokopia is just dragon quest builders>no it's animal crossing >no it's minecraftit's actually sim city
I got to the credits but I still have the top left corner in the abilities wheel empty, what did I miss? Is there a post-game or something?
>>59025213I think 16 pokemon or so, none of them are in the low tier of comfortability, some are just mid tier, but I’ve done everything they’ve asked for, I found the pc and my environment level is like 4 or 5
>>59025228check the hole that the rocket left, there's a pokemon in there that'll give you the final ability
>>59025270thanks, I'm stuck trying to locate a server for its habitat
>>59025270Ok this transformation is sick, perfect for endgame building
Snivy said he can turn wastepaper into paper but isn't giving me the option
Does anyone know if it's possible to get pokemon to do emotes they give you again? Charmander just gave me the thankful emote and I wanted to get a picture of him doing the emote himself, but even if I do the emote at him he won't do it.
So are the Skylands Celadon or Saffron?I'm leaning towards Saffron right now but I swear it's both.It has the Rocket Hideout below what looks to be the game corner, it has a giant building that could be either Silph Co, Department Store ir the Condoms.
>>59025465It's both
>seeing gyaru bulbsaur fanartn-nan... dato...
>>59025473Sabrina so upset with the world she lifts her city up into the sky with psychic power. But she couldn't leave her girlfriend Erika behind so she lifts Celadon up too
Why isn't this game shitty?
>>59024801>the artist have no plan to finish this art.
Can you move pokemon between areas?
>>59025536not made by Game Freak
>>59025551yes, just have them following you when you go through the gate
>>59025559This
So should I be going around puking up water on every spot now or will there be a faster way of doing it a bit later?
If I build a house (out of blocks, not one of the prebuilt huts you get from the PC), is there a way to get Pokemon I've befriended to move into it? Basically all my "homes" are just random patches of grass with acessories next to them and if I pick those up I'm worried they'll leaveWould I have to rebuild their ideal habitat inside the house in order to get them to move then dismantle the old one?
>Everyone else always took their own lift. >she was the first to ride with me.
>>59025593If the home is functional, it should have a pop up in the corner like 'unnocupied home'Then you just ask them to follow you and if you stand near the house one of their dialog options invites them to move in.
I tried to speed building up by changing the time on my switch but now I'm in an infinite loop and the buildings never finish>it will be finished at 6:30pm>check at 6:30pm>it will be done at 6:38>check at 6:38>it will be done at 6:41Why is it doing this??
>>59025593I made a hole in a cliff and put a door on it. It counted as a house and I had a zubat move in there after putting in some furniture
Main thing that fucks with me is the lightning fast pace with tons of stuff to do everywhere else, but then the day long waiting periods for buildings.I know you can cheese it with time travel but its like, this is my second day of playing and i've finished the story for the first 3 zones and yet I end up in weird spots where like, I cant repair the Vermillion pokemon center because Makuhita wanted a house built and he's the only bulldoze guy.Feels like building these houses should take like 3 hours not a full day.
>people speeding through the game by setting their Switch clocks ahead>not taking their time and enjoying the comfy ride
>>59025689I’m enjoying my time (while my fire mons each have their own furnace to work on)
>>59025665Just look for more pokemon. either go grab someone from your other site and ask them to follow you, or keep building habitats until you find a spare bulldozer. Alternatively, cancel the build and shuffle people around because it doesn't hurt anything to restart it. I think the idea is to do as much as you can, then once its time to put away the game you run around and queue up all the building. so tomorrow when you get home from school they are all done and ready to play more.
This game is surprisingly deep holy fuck
>>59025689you're expecting people that speed through a mainline game in 24 hours or less to take their time on pokecope?
Man I wish utility poles didn't look quite so ugly.
Is it just me or is the soundtrack beautiful?
>>59025665Tbh I just force myself to put the game down. If I just used my whole day playing (which I want to) I feel like I'd run out of content too quickly or just hit a time gate. The game is way better about it than animal crossing.
>>59025689Waiting is boring
Ah yes, venus ara ara housewife.
>>59025226I hope Nintendo actually takes notes from this game and has the next animal crossing not constantly waste your time.
>>59025744Wasting your time was not, in fact, Animal Crossing fan's issue with New Horizons.
>>59025788my main issue is the updates. All of them are so disconnected from the main game. Instead of making the island better, they just give you a new island for side activities that I couldn't give less of a shit about
Does this game have, dare I even say, SOVL?
>>59025584Wait. When you can spit out water generating blocks you can spit one out, have it cover a wide area, and then place another block in the same spot to get rid of it to water large areas very quickly. You can buy fresh waters from the PC to do that really quickly.
>>59024218HOW TO GET A WHITEBOARD FOR METANG?I can't craft one, can't buy one, I've scoured every nook and cranny and found none.
>>59025788I've played every entry. The meltdowns over NH were less about it and more about rose tinting The hell out of NL. I will say the game's gating was dated in 2020 and even more so in 2026. The load times were nasty too but the switch 1 was also dated as shit technically.
>>59025850Have you looked in the city in the skylands? Lots of buildings had them in there if I remember correctly.
>>59025850I'd prefer an actual picture if possible
>>59025857I did. I checked every single one. Not a single whiteboard
Is there a way to transport water and make a pond, like with a bucket or something?
>>59025689I see you weren't around for ACNH junior.
>Attempt to build a roofAm I retarded or is this shit assAt least there's mouse mode
>>59025863this is where i ended up making it, but i don't remember of the whiteboard was there or if i moved it there since the other stuff was there i think there were two behind the department store buried in sand or whatever too, i picked them up when I was cleaning though (and moved them elsewhere) so i can't get a picture
>>59025165>The point in time Ditto wakes up is at the most a couple decades after the main games.It takes more than just a couple of decades for the planet to bounce back from the kind of weather disturbances described in the notes. What happened was catastrophic enough that mankind couldn't just ride it out in vaults or bunkers and necessitated digitizing as many Pokemon as possible just so they'd stand a chance at not going extinct; there's no way everything was fine just a few decades later.
>>59025926and if you want to talk about the ditto's trainer at the end, time dilation are still a thing; what's 15 minutes at where they at could be 15 weeks back at the planet.
You're all wrong, this is far in the past. The world of Pokemon is stuck in a cycle where shit fucks up and Pokemon is left to rebuild the world afterward when the humans are all gone.
>>59025919NTA but I was, and I never skipped the clock forward (though I would rewind it if I missed a couple of days, then rush through the daily chores of each day missed until I caught back up to real time).I think it's more fun to do things daily and slowly unlock things, than time travel a bunch and burn out within a couple of weeks.
>>59025689Its especially weird to me in this game because 99% of the gameplay is not time gated. Theres always like a billion things you could be doing.I kind of get it in Animal Crossing because at a certain point theres nothing else to do but wait, but that just ain't the case here.
>>59025689I'm very tempted to time travel just for Suicune though..
Is there a house that can hold 3 pokemon? Kinda want to put the starter evo lines in one house.
>>59026032Brick-built houses seem to have a capacity of 4
>>59025689you can speed through the game without setting your clock ahead, if you consider getting to the credits getting through it (did that in less than 3 and a half days (while working during the week days) since i started around when it launched on the japanese eshop)i still need to do pretty much all of palette town and some leftover missions for the unique pokemon though (and obviously need to find more pokemon and get the environment levels up to whatever the max is going to be)
>>59025944It's Pokémon, we have time travel and shit.Time dilution of a few sec =1 year, like Gunbuster seem normal.Now the question is... Where Zygarde why he let everything fucked up
>>59026032Self-design + set up habitat inside the house zone.You can't believe how many Pokémon you can stack in one area.(Don't stack more than 15 at one chunk, cause the game will not load all of them which can lead to other issues)
>bought a Switch 2 >no dead pixels Worst thing about buying a handle is dealing with this gamble. My autism can't unsee them
Do Pokémon spawn indefinitely or are there a set roster you can get? Do shines spawn?
>>59026084I've never had a nintendo console with dead pixels, maybe you've just gotten unlucky in the past.
god i love him
>>59026086only one of each species spawns unless i completely missed something, so i doubt there's shiny pokemon
Do pokemon respawn if you dont check up on their habitat? I’m sure there are some places I didn’t set cameras up for so I’m worried I might be missing some mons.
>>59026090My OLED was immaculate but my 2017 model has 2
I could time travel, or I could just explore a different gate.
How big is the performance increase from Switch 1 to Switch 2? Is the build quality any good? Might get one for this game and the reveal for the new core line games that surprisingly didn't look shit.
Can legendaries live with you? Is Aeceus in the game?
>>59026123I don't think the de-spawn if they spawn, the cameras are just to let you know immediately that they spawned. If you make a habitat in the middle of nowhere, something spawns there, and you forget to check on it then you'll probably have to remember to check it at some point and it won't spawn in another instance of the habitat.
>>59026145>Can legendaries live with you?Yeah>>59026145>Is Arceus in the game?Probably not
>>59025922Unfortunately there wasn't a whiteboard there for me
>>59026148>then you'll probably have to remember to check it at some pointYeah we’re gonna need an update to fix that. Imagine going away for a week and forgetting some locations.
>Build a house>Greedent wants me to set up a party pot there. He won't accept anywhere else, even on topFuck you too you fat fuck
>>59026209That's the party zone anon.
>>59026212It's the baby house
>>59024712Why does she talk like a dignified lady?
>>59025058>>59025122I get the impression Peakychu is female as well, but is there any canon reference ingame? It’s always “they” with every pokemon. Seems weird that they couldn’t just give each mon a gender.
>>59026228>get the impressionbro your tail?
>>59025906Yes, you’ll get the ability to use bottled waters from vending machines to create water sources. And lava sources, for that matter.
>Kyogre but not Groudon Why
>>59026228Are you perhaps stupid? Do you not see her tail?
>invite my favorite pokemon to live with me>one day I start the game up and a weird object called a "pokemon egg" is next to my bedWtf happened? Is this a glitch or some super rare event???
>>59026245Oh wow, her tail’s so small I never even thought to check.
Something I've found that is almost definitely useless unless speedruns of this game become a thing; you can jumpcancel Rock Smash to remove the animation of winding back for the punch
>>59026253>Wow, it's fucking nothing!
Anyone have any creative / clean ways they connected the higher up part of Fuchsia City (The area East / SouthEast of the pokemon center). Obviously theres been some kinda catastrophic event that basically lifted that section of the city up as a Plateau, and I'm trying to come up with a way to cleanly connect it to the lower part without completely scrapping the existing layout.
>>59024218Midopia
I want to build commie blocks. Everyone gets a small hut or whatever they can fit itAre there any downsides to commie blocking it?
Do you continually level up moves and stuff throughout, or is there a point where you have everything and you can freely spend a few hours decorating the area without worrying about the idea you're doing it inefficiently because you're missing faster skills?
>>59025920Hold bottom left trigger
>making progress on my tower faster than these faggots can make a cabinGenuinely what is the point of the pre-built kits?
Please help what should I name my ditto
>>59026375There are no downsides to anything. It's a creative game
>>59026404Dr. Oozeman
>>59024218Are shiny Pokemon in this game
>>59026414
>>59026407I get ya, but I did find that my combee was happy about the potted flower in his neighbor bulbasaur's houseI'm wondering if pokemon aren't happy about their neighbors having stuff they don't want while still being within their range, even if its not in their house
>>59026378You get new moves throughout and you can (and need to) power up some with food too.You should not bother with large scale building until you have the last main ability though. You get a transformation that floats freely and destroy/replace/collect/place items.
>>59026418If it is in the same zoning, all decorations/toys work.Press the Right stick to see the effect zone.
>>59026425Just get rollout... It soo good, I can flatten the dream island now
>>59026439Damn, even in houses?Welp. I gotta reorganize...
>>59026445yeah, that's best for wide range destruction
So basically you can have habitats out until you get everything, move everyone into houses, and then remove habitats?
>>59026462Yeah, although you just need one of each habitat and then move each Pokemon that shows up into a house, then new ones can spawn in the now empty habitat, then once you have all that spawn in it you can remove it.
>>59026469Exactly how I've been approaching it, I suggest doing this as well
If I read the threads correctly, not all of Kanto is accessible? Fuschia City, Saffron/Celadon, Vermillion, and Cerulean City with a bit of Mt.Moon and Pewter City? Damn they must have something big in mind to let those spaces be left out.
>>59026490area 1 is fuchsiaarea 2 is vermillionarea 3 is pewter+mt moonarea 4 is celadon+saffronin the teraleaks, originally, viridian city+forest was going to be the fifth area, but it seems it got cutadditionally, celadon was originally seperate from saffron, and planned to be a dlc area, but they got merged in the final gameso perhaps viridian is maybe gonna be held back to be a dlc area now?the dlc areas were cerulean city, seafoam islands, lavender town, celadon city, and the indigo plateau, also im saying dlc but the map just called them "updates" so they could be free who knows
>>59026510TBF, it already has 300s (and some time-gated mon like Hoppip line and Sabreye (April event).There's already quite a lot to deal with for like a few months unless you time traveled
>pokemon with the explode ability can be fired out of a canon destroying everything around them on impactFucking insane string of words to be in a pokemon game. It doesn't even sound real
>>59026537im not hating on the amount of base game content lol theres plenty as it is im just speculating because its interesting to mebut also wahh this game sucks because victini and furret arent in it
>torn between stripping the SS Anne for parts and furniture or repairing it and letting serve as a sea-hotel. Animal Crossing could never grip me like this. I feel like I could spend an entire week redeveloping the second area alone.
Where can I find a humidifier. Google just sends me to the Yawn up a Storm quest
Is there a way to move pokemon between areas? For instance, can I grab Timburr from the first area and take him to Vermillion to help build some shit?
>>59026577Just let that pokemon follow you.If it say i have to stay mean there still quest/story related to it.
If you mess up with rototiller and turn the grass into soil, can you turn it back into grass?
>>59026563Btw you can go to SS anne, grab the pikachu sofa, then go to pkm fanclub set it next to pikachu doll.You will get mimikyu
>>59026590Yep. Use rock smash on it and then re-place it
>you can turn the entire ship into habitable rooms for pokemonAIEEEE STOP
Can anyone help me decide if I should get the game or not? I see girls loving the cutesy stuff and decorating it, but is the game still worth getting for someone who doesn't go crazy for that?
>>59024218Can I rape in this game?
>>59026622Don't some blocks become something else when you use rock smash? I tried doing that in the beach area and when I put the block back in its spot it was a different kind. I think it was:Grass -> Rototiller turns it into soil -> Seashore soil when you pick it up after using rock smash
>>59026589Awesome, thanks for the info!
>>59026632It's basically guided town building with a side of collecting pokemon. If you like Minecraft, Animal Crossing, or Dragon Quest Builders then you might like it. If not then no
>>59026635You can force pokemon to live in your house and share your bed with you. And we all know what Dittos are REALLY famous for...
>>59026632It's fun. I never got into the decorating aspect of animal crossing and still put a few hundred hours into the game, if that helps.
Are the maps 1:1 the game maps so you could recreate routes and stuff if you wanted, or are they pretty different due to the climate shit?
>level up area to 5 >all the pokemon are just standing outside next to their habitats>some of them have an unlit lamp or some wooden blocks next to them>handed out some berries>they praise me as the kind of the new world, unmatched in my settling and pioneering skills>no houses because they take too much effort and more importantly, real world timeI feel like I’m doing it wrong?
>>59026675It's an alternate dimension Kanto where everything's sort of similar but the layouts are different. For example Fuchsia City has the telltale tiled red paths from LGPE and what seems to be a destroyed Cycling Road to the west. The layouts have very few similarities and they just share traits and major landmarks with the cities they're supposed to be.That said, the original games were built using a tile-based system so it stands to reason that you could build a 1:1 recreation of the GBA cities and towns. I'm not sure if you can do that in the "story mode" areas though.We're most likely getting DLC areas with more mons.
>>59026692they are pokemon, most of them prefer being wild or in a cave somewhere
>>59026705i think of it less as an au and more as just the general areas with less of the portable top down rpg world simplification at play
>>59026692I do it like this:>Humanoid mons get houses>Animalistic mons get natural habitats
I think what just sold me on this game just now is that even after 10 hours of fucking around in just the first area, when the game just told me to wait until tomorrow to finish what I'm building I was able to go to another area and get wrapped up in what feels like just even more shit tons of contentWonder how long they worked on this game because there's a lot here
>>59024218Has anyone built cities or regions yet? I want to see what the limitations are for multiplayer when someone visits your area.
>>59026744Gardevoir lives with me in my house
>>59026753I was playing with a friend earlier. Pallet town is a shared area where everyone can build, farm ect. There's a bridge you can cross that brings you to the hosts mainland but everyone including the host is set to spectator mode so they can't do shit but look around
>>59026757The game is cucking me by putting her and the rest of the Ralts line in Sparkling Skylands. I wanna build a big house and put Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir and Gallade in it and see what kind of conversations they can have with each other
I wish i had more time to play, i haven't even built the center yet and get distracted a bunch looking around I need to get access to a cash register so i can recruit my bro.
Can you create islands? Like for example, if I wanted to recreate, say, some Hoenn cities or whatever, can you create separate islands for each of them?
Is there a way to out and out "delete" items? Like a swallot or a trash bin or some such?
>>59026766A little disappointing, but just chilling in it sounds fun. What's the size of Pallet town? Could someone hypothetically build something that represents a whole region in it?
>>59026788Rocky Ridges has lava. I haven't tried it, but maybe you could toss all your items on a destructible block floating over the lava lake, then break it and let the items fall inside? Maybe that destroys them since I don't see how you could pick them up
>>59025345Welcome to garbage town. Population? You, faggot.
I can't decide on how to make the roof to this tower
>>59026952*forFuck, it's 1am. Need to sleep
Does every dream island have a little shrine with a pokeball somewhere?
>>59026228There was a guide that specified that individual Pokémon aren’t supposed to be referred to by specific genders (makes sense, we don’t focus on what gender a wild animal is). They’re more lax with that rule when it comes to trained pokemon since people do refer their pets with specific genders, but even then the anime surprisingly rarely specifies genders of trained pokemon. However in this setting pokemon are characters so calling them “it” doesn’t really make sense, so “they” is used. >>59026223Probably going for the Sickly Victorian era Woman trope
>>59025345This is a callback to either RGBY or GSC I think.
>>59026393>>59026416>no unlockable shiny ditto skin after you complete the pokedexIT WOULD'VE BEEN THE PERFECT REWARD!
>>59025771
>>59026999They're so annoyingly indecisive about it>AZ's Floette is called she by everyone>Every single other pokemon in ZA is called "it"I get they don't want to open the can of worms that is trying to draw the line on what kind of mons are deemed "human enough" not to deserve the it pronoun but it could be easily solved by simply having every wild pokemon referred to by "it" and every partner/trained pokemon using its gender's pronouns. They/them for legendaries/unknown gender. TPCi will make shit like "Another day with Gardevoir" and then try their hardest to make you believe the trainer would refer to his lifelong Gardevoir friend/sibling/whatever else you see in it by "it"
rollout is so fun to use
>>59027012GSC. "Trash Can Central" is what's left of the Vermillion City Gym, and Lt. Surge had an Electabuzz on his team in GSC.
i think my biggest obstacle at this point is space managementi want my mons to live together so as to keep my cities tidy, but i don't want to accidentally house mons together that have contrasting likesmoreover, i also want my houses placed properly the first time so i don't need to shuffle everything around, let alone allot the time to do soall that said, do we ever get the ability to craft housing kits on our own? or are the ones from the PC all we get?
>>59026632I always wanted to get dragon quest builders but they never went on sale low enough. This was the perfect excuse as a lazy day game. I don't have to think hard or worry about missing any text. I just sort of put little blocks down and grow beans. It's cozy after dealing with million dollar companies needs to see a fake little guy ask me for toy blocks.If you never enjoyed animal crossing or minecraft you can still have fun with this. The story mode has clear objectives to complete and then there's an entire like do your own thing town which I'm never going to touch personally but surely the people who love free mode creation are gonna go fucking wild with by living with all their favorite pokemon. Maybe see if you can try it from gamefly if you really need to get an idea if you would like it or not.
>>59026510>area 2 is vermillion>area 3 is pewter+mt moonAlso Pewter is area 2 and the museum is it's own area thereVermilion + the SS Anne are in area 3
>>59025689I just want to finish the story as fast as possible so I can fuck off and make my own paradise on my island.I hate most of the pokemon in the story missions.
>Pokemon game comes out to universal critical acclaim>Everyone loves it and there’s no fighting or arguing about it like what happens with every other Pokemon branded game.>Even on /vp/ the worst you get is ambivalence from people who hate minecraft type games.How did GF and Koei-Tecmo do it?I’m sure /v/ has some shitters trying to troll it but /v/tards can go eat a bag of dicks.
>>59027167you can do bleak beach or rocky ridges in either order, i just went with the order i went inthe game does order beach before ridge though
>>59024218So do the Pokémon have specific genders? At least for Eeveelutions, this is what I've skimmed off Twitter:Males:>Umbreon>Jolteon>FlareonFemales:>Vaporeon>Espeon>Leafeon>Glaceon>Sylveon
>>59027231they do, raichu is always female for instance, but the game always refers to the pokemon with ungendered pronouns so you gotta go off gender differences or speech patterns (except chef dente is explicitly referred to as she at a point which caught me off guard, especially cus i thought she was a guy)
>>59027220>How did GF and Koei-Tecmo do it?GF didn't do anything, it was all Koei-Tecmo.
>>59026999>>59027089They could at least use gender pronouns for mons who are 100% of a gender like she/her for Blissey/Tinkaton/Cresselia and he/him for Hitmon/Grimmsnarl/Latios, it doesn't make sense to call them they/them/it when there are no other genders for those specific pokemon
>>59027220One of my IRL friends was praising the shit out of pokopia a few weeks before the launch and actually sold me on it (I assumed it'd be trash). His opinion of the game soured the exact moment he learned the "Switch 1 support" was exclusively having a friend who has a Switch 2 over so he can use gameshare locally. Now it's apparently a boring, clunky mess "from what he's seen in videos". I want to be a good friend but I'm also this close to just sending him a fox and the grapes image because it's kind of pathetic and transparent>>59027237Really? She calls you sweetie/darling every other sentence.
>>59027247idk lol i thought it was just eccentric chef talk
>>59027248Chefs are no hairdressers, they don't talk like gays
>>59027018can you even find shinies in this game?
>>59027231The whole Bulbasaur line is female>Cheerful gal>Cheeky gal (?)>Ara ara milf
>>59027256Is there only 1 if each Pokémon in this game.
>>59027256Ha, are they trying to establish the Bulba-line as the girl of the Kanto Trio now?
It's neverending.
>>59024218How to 'generate lots of electricity for the tower?I can't place those poles anywhere near it
>>59027251No>>59027256Oh, and Slowpoke in this game is either a male or a kind giant girl who uses "ore". (cause Japan internet not gonna give up the laid back pink hair gyaru Slowpoke without a fight)
>>59027247>fox and the grapes imageWhat does this mean?
>>59027256>>59027259Come to think of it, Venus is the female planet
>>59027259Except Red's Bulbasaur, that one is a male.
>>59027248>>59027250>Ditto? Ditto, come here, sweetheart>What's this?*Ditto points at Simple Salad*>Are you going to put this in a trough?>What the fuck are these...?*Ditto picks up a wildflower*>Flowers? Fucking flowers? Did you grab these from the pots outside?>WHERE'S THE OLIVE OIL, YOU SLOWPOKE!?>DRESSING! IT NEEDS DRESSING, PINK FUCKING SLUDGE!
should I buy this game?
>>59027267>The Fox and the Grapes is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 15 in the Perry Index. The narration is concise and subsequent retellings have often been equally so. The story concerns a fox that tries to eat grapes from a vine but cannot reach them. Rather than admit defeat, he states they are undesirable."I don't have a Switch 2, but the game is garbage anyway"
>>59027296Do you like chill games? Do you mind waiting for things to finish instead of rushing everything?Do you like spending half of a day on a house cause you get some minor thing wrong? Or do you like to organize every item box (then give up before doing that again)?If yes, then yeah, it good game for you
>>59027307how does it compare to animal crossing?
Pokopia's showing me all a mon needs to become attractive is a lilting and/or gentle speech pattern. If Vespiquen starts calling me "my little drone" I will rehydrate Withered Wasteland with my semen alone
>>59027313It's more like a mix of Minecraft and Animal Crossing, but it removed the neighbor limit from AC, so you can have 300 Pokémon and build almost everything you want. They even have resource islands (dream island) for you to farm blocks.The time gate is honestly pretty lax, like if you know that " house done by next day" means you can just build it before you sleep, and it will be done at 5 AM. The earlier you build the house, the more you have to wait.
>>59027315Now you remind me, the combee also female in pokopia, it has a red triangle.
Retard alert
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHTHERE'S SO MUCH TO DOAND SO LITTLE TIMEAND MY BRAIN IS TOO SMALL TO REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD MYSELF 5 MINUTES AGO I NEEDED TO DO NEXTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I've been alerted that mawile is in this game, could any kind soul tell me how to obtain it?
Expectation:>Gift waifumon flowers>Cute interaction ensues, commenting on the scent while holding one for a little bitWhat's most likely gonna happen:>Gift waifumon flowers>Oh, thanks Ditto! I'll dig right in!>*CHOMP* *GRRFH* *CHOMP* *CHOMP*

>walking aimlessly not knowing what to do>drilbur asks me to go dowsingthanks nigga
>>59024218I CAN'T FIND POKÉMETAL ANYWHERE. WENTBTO DRAGONITE ISLAND AND THERE WAS NONE
how tf i make the crops grow faster bruh
>>59027361Go to the island that give copperFind the chasm, keep follow the iron, you should find the pokemetal.Don’t dig too deep, if you see illuminate stone you already too deêp.Gdi, i wish this game have a way to read it XYZ coordinate.
>>59027361I'm surprised they didn't try to slide a "buy 5 pokémetal for 0.99€" mtx>>59027365Bring a mon with the Grow ability to the orchard and/or time travel to the next day after watering the crops
>>59027367You can buy 5 pokemetal for 10 honey though And 1 rare pokemetal for 20 honey.
>>59027367even with grow it feels like forever, i taint wanna time travel jist for 1 wheat >.<
>>59026567There's one in the saffron ruins next to where gardevoir initially hanged out
holy shit riolu calm down it's bigger than you god damn
>>59027372It only take 1-2 days for 5 wheat
>>59027231They do have genders but since the english text always use they/them as much as it can you will rarely know, other languages use their he/she equivalents everywhere
What biomes for Floragato and Meowscarada? And Dragapult?
I spent my whole saturday playing, I feel like shit. Stepped out for maybe 30 minutes to buy food. Its not that I didnt have fun, but that day went by so fast it felt like a waste.
>slowpoke won't yawn>turns out you need to do a bunch of unrelated side quests What retarded game design
>>59027471It teaches you about humidity so it's good game design.
>Do 10 hours of boring tasks for the they/thems until you learn a transformation that lets you move onto the next zone>New area is another 10 hours of boring tasks while being dripfed abilities and meeting pokemon with copypasted personalities (at least 4 pokemon with the "yo" dialect in the first area alone)>Clean up this, build thatPutrid dogshit journalists are being paid to call it the best pokemon game ever made + all of you trying to mask your buyer's remorse
>>59024218i love that toxels habitat implies hes an ipad baby
>>59027517>he never played a DQB gameI knew what I was getting into and I'm having a blast.
JP Torchic ends her sentences the same way Anime May does.
>you can return SS Annie to “working”condition.RIP my free time.
getting the first 2 places to level 5 is absolutely worth it for getting the backpack upgrades, game saving in fact
Went over to bleak beach and that shit is overwhelming. Not gonna touch that are for a long while
>>59027701its crazy how many more requests you can actually still do after getting the light onanother day gone for me...
>>59027725How the hell do you turn the light on
I've gained access to Bleak Beach and Rocky Ridges. Is there one that I should do first or does it not matter?
>>59027729>Craft utility poles if you have the recipe>If not just complete requests and progress through the story until you do>Find power sources like windmills, waterwheels and furnace generators. You'll need at least five power sources near the end of the zone's plotline so go and explore.>Make a decent power grid around the city and put down electricity-powered lampposts when you get the recipe>Then just follow the plot and someone will destroy the clouds blocking out the sun>>59027738I think the abilities you gain in Rocky Ridges are more useful than the ones you get in Bleak Beach, so if you care about that, definitely Rocky Ridges
>>59027751God that sounds like a lot of work
So how do custom houses work? I rarely play games like this but is it just building a house using the blocks and then planting the flag on it?
>>59027751also Look at the ground, they marked some locations to put the pole if you properly clear the debris.Guess who made a really bad wiring..
>>59027771yeah
ima kind of disappointed in the houses. Animal Crossing NH got it right where its a whole nother place when you go in
>>59027809how far are you into the game? My leaf house is basically like an animal crossing house, it even has an upstairs and stuff
Peakychu must be that Pikablu everyone was talking about all those years ago
>In mining area>Building set pre-placed next to Pokemon center.>Get to work constructing it since Pokemon Center needs Ore to process>Says tomorrow >Boot game first thing in morning to start Pokemon Center construction >Also says tomorrow despite last bit tomorrow building being started 10 hours ago Are all large buildings hard locked to finish "tomorrow" or just PC's specifically since they're a capstone of each area.Still gonna dig around the mountain for relics though, need two more CD's as well for the party but I'll probably switch areas today while construction happens and hope for them.
I'm gonna assume conkledurr makes concrete, what is his habitat?
>>59027861Conkeldurr is a scripted unlock later in the game
>>59027809They're the same bro even with the SHIT loading screens between rooms
When did you guys move on to the next area? I'm still on the first island and can, but I feel like I still have so much to do on this first island alone.
>>59027896Im taking things slow in the first area on purpose. Currently building a stage for jigglypuff on that hill where the gravestone is.I don't understand the people speeding through the game
>>59027471That quest alone teaches you like 4 different things, fag.
>that comfy feel when your town is coming together bit by bit
>>59027896I'm using the Pokemon Center as a regional capstone. I'll care about anything beyond that in post when I have all my abilities and shit.
>>59027851That was literally just Marill. Its design was finished long before GSC, and someone somewhere saw its image and started spreading rumors of a "blue Pikachu" earlier than intended. There's a reason Game Freak ultimately decided to feature it in the Pikachu's Vacation short - the cat was already out of the bag at that point.
>>59027347even better
>>59027861>I'm gonna assume conkledurr makes concreteYes
>only one of every pokemon>only one dittoWhat's going to happen to ditto?
>>59027643I know, right? The minute I saw this U was like, “oh god, I’m gonna have to renovate this whole ship, huh”?
.....Magnetic Shift.The Magnetic Shift on the Planet's Polarity is what caused the abnormalities that lead humans to store all Pokémon in PCs and to leave for Space.
>>59027936It’s time for some daycare action.
How tf do i make a hot spa habitat, i got the seat and shower but how i make hot water???
>>59027852“Tomorrow” is when they update the daily challenge.It not 24 hours Yes look like all big buildings are tomorrow (haven’t test the legendary location yet)
>>59027904>the music gradually filling in as your town rank increasespeak...>>59027896I sped through the first three areas grabbing abilities, then turned back to the starter town to grind it up to 10 and make custom homes for all my favorite guys.The game has a good feedback loop of finding a new area, grabbing stuff to make nice homes and then running out of things to give, forcing you to explore more. I got around 10 of my Pallet Towners to [AWESOME] satisfaction and another 15 to great, but now I'm outta stuff to make good houses, so I'm gonna move onto the mining area and cap that out next. I don't have it in me to care for the Vermillion city quests for some reason, even though that's obviously how you get into electricity.>>59027927How do you get that outfit? Also, assuming Erika's fit is in the game, where is it?
>>59027771For the game to count your house as a house, you need 4 walls, a roof and a door. If you don't wanna do that, you can have your pokemon make an animal crossing style house that's it's own screen, though you can't place any blocks.
>>59027939I have 2 options now:Band aid solutions fixing or wait till i get the correct block for the ship.>>59027958The water must be like how you make waterfall + a pond. (See img)
>>59027771You need at least a 2*2 block and a door
>Got a Pichu last night>Waiting on a Pikachu to show up now>Also finish pokecenter, get annoyed I can't yoink the cash register until I find the 3d printer>Now waiting on a RaichuSoon I will have comfy exploration with my bro.
Who's the waifu-bait?
>>59027936Ditto's going to be busy helping rebuild the population....It might want to find a Mew to help with that endeavor.
>>59028020peakychu
>>59027888Thanks boi
I forgot how ugly Timburr line was
>>59027809Those types literally exist you get both options.
>still no brick path edges>still no plaster walls>still no cloth walls, or wooden pillars, or whatever that diagonal stone in Vermillion is.I'm going insaaane I wanna make things look nice but I just dont have the recipes.
am I the only anon actually trying to rebuild the towns?I'm in the first area rebuilding all the buildings and crossroads and stuff. It's a lot of fun but I don't see other people doing that.Like right now I'm fixing all the wooden fences on the island
>>59028081you literally get all those recipes raising the rasing the environments to lvl 5grind lil bro lol
im gonna say it..... Pokopia is the BEST Pokemon game ever made
>>59028140It's just missing a pinch more autism for me to call it perfect. Like it needs shiny hunting or something to grind for and then it would be perfect
>>59028098I just wanna get all the abilities and QoL features so I can do stuff as efficiently as possible.
So is Zorua’s ability actually useful?
>>59028166for the hide and seek mini games other than that idk im not far enough yet
Just made Mareep cum
Is it possible to relocate Pokemon between regions? I wanna take all my ghost and dark type Pokemon and turn the SS Anne into a ghost ship.
>>59028173Have them follow you through the gate and then make a new home for them there
>light the city >0/50BRUH
They really missed the opportunity to let you create a copy of your pokes from Home in the game so you could build homes for them. I would play this shit forever if I could build a town of my bros
>>59028101Fuchsia is level 6, Vermilion and Pewter are level 5, I dont have nothin.
How do I move my leaf huts?
Next PMD will be part of the pokopia verse.
Without spoiling anything, Gardevoir has the exact personality I was hoping for. Ralts is way less shy than I was expecting, though
>>59028297Like a brat?
>>59028098>It's a lot of fun but I don't see other people doing that.It's better to wait until post-game before trying that - you get a lot of abilities that make things easier by beating the game first. Just do the bare minimum to progress for now, them come back later to start your real projects.
>found the museum >i have enough stuff to fix the space auditorium.Goodbye sleep i guess?
Do you need the utility lines everywhere? They look really bad when you're powering a lot of stuff.
Drillbur is demanding a berry basket and I haven't even seen these fuckin berry types yet, every damn thing this mole asks for makes me want to behead him.
They gotta stop associating drifloon with child abduction
>>59028360Technically you can use electric pokemon instead.
This music is making me want to replay the gen1 games
>>59028098I'm too lazy to go hard into revamping. I mostly intend to avoid any deep terraforming in favor of fixing and fitting stuff in.But I've only just done the pokemon center, so I'm still far off. I wanna find a few more pokemon and reorganize before moving on.
I didn't do much research into this game because I assumed it was just New Horizons but you're telling me it has an actual story, an endgame, autistic gathering mechanics, 2deep4u lore about Kanto being destroyed, AND plenty more than just Kanto mons? Fuck this actually sounds cool.
>>59028191Cool, time to make my passion project.
>>59028427Dude this game makes New Horizons look even more hot garbage than that game already made itself look.About the only thing it shares with AC is being able to make homes for pokemon and even that is so much more detailed than AC ever was (minus maybe space in the house and amount of decorative items, maybe)There are time gates on things like growing veggies and building projects, but even the pokemon center is just something you do and can still go do basically everything else.It's fucking amazing and I hate how little free time I have currently.
>>59028427https://store.steampowered.com/app/1072420/DRAGON_QUEST_BUILDERS_2/If you're on the fence, check out the developer's previous work as there's a massive free demo covering the first story area.Pokopia is more or less the same gameplay and uses the same engine, but removes the 2D Zelda combat in favor of more building space and deeper villagers interactions. It also adds Animal Crossing style homes as an option, in addition to the DQB2 style ones.
>>59026793Nta and super late to respond but I just fully explored palette town and it's pretty huge. I'd say you could recreate a region out of it. Might have to scale it down a little bit and it will be a lot of work but it's the most blank canvas thing I've seen in this game so far.
I've just spent the last hour wandering around trying to decide what to do next, without actually doing anything meaningful. I can see why people can spend years playing these games.
I only have one small limestone quarry on my cloud island. When I mine it all, am I just out of it forever? Also, I hope there is no habitat that requires stalagmites because I juat destroyed them all
>>59028533>When I mine it all, am I just out of it forever?dream islands exist for resources, although I don't have a clue what doll gets you an area with limestone though
>>59027960that outfit is on SS Anne in Bleak beacha bunch of outfits and hairstyles are random spawns on dream islands so lol lmao have fun
>>59027958you need to get a hot beverage from a vending machine to get the initial hot water (it's random what you get so power as many vending machines as you can and check all of them, but don't move them or they'll become unstocked until the next day)
Uhhhh...
>>59028549Clefairy.
I heard one fag potentially shitposting that Pokopia hints Red ended up with Misty, besides the interview paper talking about Red in game, is there anything else on it? Was that anon just shitposting?
>>59028549>>59028620Thanks
>>59028098I'm waiting until post game before I give a shit about anything beyond rebuilding the Pokemon Center in each region.
>>59028625Most likely just shitposting. The catastrophe in Pokopia happened around RBGY/GSC, and we know Misty was dating some random schmuck in GSC while Red was busy being a hermit on Mt. Silver, so there's no way they would've hooked up.It's not like there was ever any reason to think they would, anyway - unlike the anime, where Misty travels with Ash, Red doesn't have any real interaction with her in the original games beyond fighting her for her badge, so the two are basically just strangers who met once.
>>59027330>switch 2 exclusive>30fpsNigga whatIs this some technical limit because of the time system? Because NH doesn't have 60fps either.
>>59028711It's 60 FPS
>>59025652LMAOOOOO
>>59026259gratz on the pokesex
>>59027276All the planets are female.
Vespiquen keeps asking me to compare her weight to other Pokemons (she's always heavier)
>>59028837jupiter? mars?
>>59028812That would be a really cheeky way to create a togepi habitat. Just have a house with 2 pokemon occuping it.
Hehehe XD
>>59028837Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all named after male deities (and yes, Pluto counts as a planet, fuck you). Only Venus and Terra/Gaia (Earth) are female, though there's a lot of moons with female names out there.
new thread?
>>59028892make it
>>59028895nah
>>59024218this is your reminder to ALWAYS use tinkmaster on your building projectsshe cuts the time for anything in half or even more, something that "will be done tomorrow" only takes an hour if shes helping you
>Waiting on Iron Ore and Clay to process to build up Vermillion PC>Need to wait for Wheat to regrow and construction to finish in mining area to throw party.Time cucked on two fronts and I don't feel like time travelling so that's it for today.
