It's not like AC>What about cloud saves?Yes, unlike every other Pokemon game this one does support cloud saves>Does it feature a real time clock? Can I change the console's date to progress faster?Yes, there's no downside to moving forward or backwards>Is my favorite Pokemon in?List is still being updated https://www.serebii.net/pokemonpokopia/availablepokemon.shtml>I didn't like ACNH, will I like this one?Similarities with ACNH end at the UI, game is a lot faster, with more activities and a proper ~40h long story mode. If you've played DQ Builders 2 you know what you're getting into.>Combat? Breakable tools?No combat, no breakable tools. There's a stamina system in place very easy to manage.>Game doesn't seem worth it, it's overpriced and the switch 2 has no gameshttps://i.imgur.com/QtyRfuL.jpegPrevious >> 59035408
Whats the best way to get tons of stone and clay?I need tons to craft stone and brick blocks but I feel like dream islands arent going to provide enough on their own. Various block types sure but just the base resource. Which normally only drops from those rock smashable special rock smash blocks or from cracked building blocks in the ruins of the main areas. And the clay I feel like I only ever got from pretty preset areas but I DO think I can get pooper to produce a bunch.
So if I keep spamming the Clefairy doll every day, will I eventually find Volcanion?
Is the Rocky Ridges area smaller than the first two regions? I know there's a huge underground area but it seems like there's less to discover here, unless there's lots of hidden stuff I've missed
>>59040257It just seems smaller because the ash is everywhere
>>59040255Where do I get Clefairy doll?
>>59040250I think there are Litter pokemon that drop stone and clay but I'm not sure which ones.
>>59040272I'm not sure where I got it, it's been a few days. Definitely not from Fuschia or Celadon though.
I want to make a Graveler race track with lava hazards. Do you think that would be fun?
Marry
>>59040273The shield fossils.For clay it trapinch.
Finally going to actually try to make Pewter nice.I assume removing literally all the volcanic ash is a bad idea? Like the terrain is just completely nonsensical under there? The stretch between the volcano and the museum is crazy deep.
>>59040272Pokecenter shop have it.Rocky ridge have one some where i forgot.Or pokecenter also selling some.
Sprinkler range.
Also i found out mouse mode work with rock smash also…
So is Rollout a faster movement option?
>>59040362yes but glide is more convenient
Has this game really sold out? People are saying you get a key
Oh neat Jumpluff drops FLUFF
>>59040362Unless you catapult yourself with waterfall + glide.
>>59040367Glide? Lil nigga... I gotta keep doing story stuff
Roselia sisters, It's not looking good...
Not only is this game good... it may even be great.
>>59040400look at the reviews
>>59040299Use party poppers to signal go. Have sections where the track goes one block wide. Stairs up into the sky.
>>59040403I don't do things like that. What are they saying?
one fucking thing this game nails but the mainline games don't is that it was never about the catching or the battling, though those descend from the biggest thing:it's always about the world, the ecology. the interaction and cooperation between innumerable unique species that makes the pokemon world so speciallike, you could have a whole-ass david attenborough style documentary about different regions in the pokemon world and everyone would be glued to it for this reason
Got a Switch 2 for Pokopia and I'm still loving it and not bored, but down the road should I get DK Bananaza? I played the demo and was impressed with the destruction and frame rate, but is it worth 70 dollarydoos?
>>59040436do you like pauline?
>>59040374Believe it or not, you still have to create Physical card for game key CARD, and the retailer has to have it in stock.
>>59040440She has cute feet but is she annoying in the game?
>>59040451she is very cute and funny.It is worth it if you like
>>59040391try not to rushbecause building completion and resource processing are real-time-based, it's better to have a lot of slow things going on in parallel then to complete a lot of steps one after anotherfrom what i've learned so far, you're better off creating a lot of habitats to spawn pokemon early on, then to include them in development tasks, followed by improving their comfort levels while they work
protip: you can appraise relics at the palette town PC instead of talking to Tangrowth, and its a lot faster
>>59040250evolved fossils drop stonetrapinch, Wooper, and Clodsire drop clay
If I clean out the hoppip shop is that enough to build the habitats for the other two pokes at my leisure, or do I need duplicates?
The whores (affectionate) are hopping on the gyarusaur trendhttps://www.youtube.com/live/pGYt9OehzSI?si=Cp11BqGIeykWCWs1
Peaky is cute
I feel like I don't understand this event Is it literally just a special shop? Can I get hoppip to join in a home or not?
Where do I get the CD player?
>>59040536Rocky Ridge, story mission
>>59040428That's why Concierge was so good, too.
>>59040518So what is human Peaky not able to do because she gave it away to save young children?
>>59040509All you need is a pack of 5 dandy seeds, the lunch box, the table covering and the cushion. You don't even need to clean out the shop and I got more than enough cotton spores from just one trip to a dream world.
>>59040553Also that live action show with Haruhi VA
>>59040513Why are they drawing Bulbasaur as a girl he's a boy
>>59040567Japanese Pokopia Bulbasaur talks like a gyaru does, so they're drawing gyaru bulbasaur.
>>59040567Bulbasaur's got some pretty girly mannerisms in this game, and apparently it comes across even more in Japanese.Obviously we can't literally tell using visual differences like we can for Venusaur.
Arent Pre-built houses better because you get a shit ton of in-door space relative to overworld space? At the cost of creativity?
>>59040580I'm lazy so I use prebuilt
>>59040567She's a girl. Give it up, the elevens have decided.
>>59040582That's a mouth made for fat Conkeldurr slabs
>>59040580And having to wait, but yes.
>>59040580They're also better because their inhabitants will still be inside of them if they weren't one of the 20 pokemon selected to be spawned in the world.For your own custom Palette Town or whatever they're probably the best option, my issue is that Vermillion and Saffron kinda beg you to fix their existing block-based buildings, and im not sure where pre-builts would fit without looking out of place in either of them.
>got to the ending and the credit rollAHHHHHHFUCKI WANTED MORE
>>59040580 The main reason pre built houses are better is the Pokémon that lives there is technically unloaded from the environment but still present for you to go get them when they're inside it So you can have more pokemon in any given area and not need to honey them
Back to the lore discussionsOk so we're deciding the professor isn't actually professor oak because the timeline doesn't match up if it's him?
>>59040559Thank you.
I still need to make the 3rd habitat for the event reeeeee but I ran out of cotton reeeeeeeeee
>>59040567She loli gyaru now.
Did they at least give bulbasaur a valley girl accent in the English translation
Is the weird island that Gyarados is on in the Sky area supposed to be Celadon or just another corner of Saffron? The buildings have a different color.
>>59040582>genki gyaru> sharp tongue gyaru> ara ara milfPerfect evolution line
>>59040606Its an OC professor. I don't think they really put much thought into connecting any of the pokemon to an established character. My own headcanon that has no real evidence is that Peakchu is Red's Pikachu, not going into its background outside of the dex entry was criminal. How did it save a whole group of other mons? From what? For how long? Too the point that it left it handicap and still lived.
>>59040637Red's Pikachu is male though, and Peakychu is female.You could adjust your headcanon to say its one of Red's Pikachu's children or something.
>>59040637Want to hear something real schizo.I think the town map is hang correctly.The Kanto here is not our kanto, it upside down.
>>59040606I wanna know why there's a Team Rocket lab below Saffron City gym.
>>59040606All of the people you know from the mainline games are long dead by this point, possibly Gary's/Daisy's descendant, who knows.
>>59040436If you don't mind your action games being "easy", you'll probably like it
>>59040646I mean even that can be explained with the apocalyptical phenomenon that occurred. Tectonic plates shifting, etc etc, spin the continents around. My biggest gripe is what the fuck caused it all when we clearly had legendaries hanging around just fine and barely knew what happened themselves. Even Mewtwo didn't know, which was a completely disappointing reveal. Groundon would have caused no rain to happen, but he never showed up. Kyogre was just sleeping just cuz. A volcano blew up around Pewter but Volcanion knew nothing of it.Or the obvious answer, its just an alt world the devs made. Gamefreak probably told them to do it since they're always such big pussies with their precious IP.
>>59040436i thought it was just alright, i liked it but i was getting burnt out on it by the end, i think air riders is more worth it, i got a lot out of it for what it is
>>59040653Special is canon, Sabrina worked for Team Rocketalternatively, that last area is both Saffron and Celadon and thats the game corner, but I don't care as much for that explanation
>>59040606Timeline doesn't match up as a whole. The notes make it seem like it takes place soon after RBY but the world still lives on in mainline. My guess was alternate timeline
>>59040680Some of the notes took place within the timeframes of the mainline games, while the rest took place in a possible distant future. It's the reason why the notes seems disjointed as they're decades apart.
>only have a couple of hours to play weeknights after work, dinner, gym>all of it is spent on the dream island hoarding itemsCan't believe I'm gonna have to wait until the weekend just to finish the final area
Metacritic bros.. it's now back at at 89 after some roastie dragged it down to 88.
>when you keep reading the hacker's notes
>>59040673Maybe I missed a lore thing but it sounded like they were running some experiments on whatever the weird rocks were which caused a massive disruption that obviously shot ground zero (Silph Co) way up into the sky, and then just otherwise raised random chunks of land all over the world which would have caused earthquakes which would lead to volcanic activity.Maybe I'm completely off base but my theory is that the mysterious rocks that hold up the sky islands are to blame.
gardevoir is such an ojou-sama
>>59040701All you need is a Pokemon with Rock Smash and some hamburger and they could've destroyed them
>the Aether Foundation clearly had a large part in the project plans>started to suspect that the cause of all this was going to be the Ultra Beast went rampant or that their experiments just went completely wrong>it wasn'tFuck, bro, thats lost potential. We could have had a final island that was just a distorted mess because of them. DQB2 literally took you to hell at the end.
>>59040673Most legendaries and mythicals can survive Mass Extinction events. Take the Hoenn Weather Trio for example, they're called Super Ancient Pokémon for a reason.
>>59040701Im not gonna lie, i really thought those crystals were gonna end up being crystals you see in Area Zero. I actually really wanted the 'dons to show up and let me transform into them as a motorcycle traversal upgrade.
>>59040239honestly, having played this game enough, i feel like my biggest gripe with the game is that you have to "find" crafting recipes, during the main story it was fine but its really annoying feeling like "oh i still cant build that/fix that" in the postgame because i just havent randomly stumbled upon the recipe for a certain block or furniture piece. wish it was just minecrap where if you had the ingredients you can make it no questions asked
>>59040720Its not that they survived, its that literally NO ONE KNEW ANYTHING AT ALL. The legendries weren't caught, except for Mewtwo who was explicitly shown to have been caught with a Masterball. These legendries that were out in the wild should have known, and im sure even Mewtwo could have known with its psy and telepathy powers while still being in a ball.
>>59040737can you just scan it then take it to the copy machine?
Anyone else thought it was Eternatus showing up after rebuilding Silph Co.? The writers really took some weird turns with the story. I guess they just want to leave everything as open-ended as possible
>>59040737Hard disagree, the mystery and experimentation and the early days of everyone sharing secret tips and stuff is so much fun.
Kind of bummed Lavender Town isn't in the base game.Do we expect it to be added?
>>59040777It's there in the (at least initially) planned DLC
>>59040777if the leaks are at least somewhat accurate still they planned to add every kanto city eventually either as updates or dlc (but the number of locations now doesn't match what was supposed to be included at launch either)
>>59040757I think it's because the Ditto you played as never asked nor care what cause the apocalypse, only concern about where their trainer went. Sure, some are quick to blame humans given their experience with them, but it seems that nobody knows what exactly caused the planet to throw a shit fit like that. >>59040772>I guess they just want to leave everything as open-ended as possiblePretty much this. It's about rebuilding for the future, what happened in the past doesn't matter that much.
The game's getting DLC? What?
>>59040773maybe if your playing it multiplayer but im just playing it singleplayer and all it does is make me not want to commit to any project and get choice paralysis, just a bad wart on a game i otherwise like. id rather do what i like in a sandbox game than roll the dice on if im allowed to have it look how i want or not, its the same shit that burned me out on new horizons
>>59040796that's what some of the leaks indicated at least, plans obviously could have changed
>>59040798>get choice paralysisHuh. I don't understand that at all. But I guess that's you, everyone is different
>>59040622The streets are still lined with the Saffron blocks so I don't think it's Celedon
>>59040790Man i really thought we were going to end up at the League before the credits roll, especially since we were collecting badges.
>>59040790>Pewter city got obliterated with a random volcano>the one city that had an actual volcano wasn't even in the gameWhat the
>>59040795its an interesting take on a post-apocalypse setting too, as it implies many times that humans aren't responsible for whats happening and in many of the notes/interactions they make it clear that the humans want to save pokemon, and that most pokemon miss the humansits weirdly hopeful for the kind of setting, usually they don't hesitate to blame humans for fucking things up or make it look like they're ditching the planet and leaving what remains to fend for themselves>>59040836too obvious when it gets destroyed by a volcano in the main gamesCinnabar will probably be frozen over by Seafoam Islands expanding in the dlc
>>59040824The big building that's buried under the mountainside is almost certainly the Celadon Department Store. The lack of the game corner, Team Rocket hideout, and especially Celadon Gym is quite curious though. Maybe they're still on ground level?
Im kinda confused. Which town(s) was the first area? Why was there a cycling road that leads to Pallet? Im sure its all alt world logic but going to Pallet for the first time threw me off.
>>59040855It's Fuschia.
>>59040855the first area is Fuschia, and it just kind of branches off from cycling road because the world's geography got all fucked up and Pallet Town isn't that far off from the edge of cycling road
>Cleaning up Rocky Ridge area after getting Rollout plus burger upgrade>cleared up the area near the center decently enough>finish the plot>Volcanion shows up and just shits out lava all over the goddamn areaTHIS FUCKING FAGGOT
>>59040863>>59040864I really thought it was a weird mix of Viridian and Fuschia. I was half right at least.
>>59040796>>59040802it says on the eshop it has in-app purchases doesn't it? or on the official website? I saw it somewhere
>>59040695THE BEST POKEMON GAME IN THE SERIES
>>59040717That's for the DLC
>>59040883yes it does
>they can make a Pokopia for every regionWould they have the balls to do it?
>>59040883>>59040894It says so on all switch games with online due to legal reasons, as they require a paid subscription.
>>59040903they wouldn't have included pokemon from every region if this was the plan>>59040906neat, didn't know that
>>59040910I feel like they could've added other region's Pokemon, but it would've been more Kanto heavy. More like the first area, where 80% of the Pokemon you recruit are Kanto
>>59040910>they wouldn't have included pokemon from every region if this was the planThat really doesn't mean anything when its was a man-made failsafe that would release pokemon for a mother storage computer that humans put their pokemon in from all over to keep them safe. It seemed like the failsafe would just dump them anywhere, since every pokemon mentions being asleep or somewhere completely different before being there. Every region was hit with disasters, and we were never shown where the large spacecraft was built.
>>59040906Pack it up, boys, its over....
>>59040680That's really gay if they change it so much it might as well not even be the same region
>>59040918they could still make a sequel but I doubt they'll make 10 of theseI'd assume a sequel would be more like DQ Builders where Builders 1 is connected to DQI while Builders 2 is connected to DQII and not Builders 1>>59040926in story sure, but if the plan was for the game to be more Kanto focused they'd have just changed that. Pokemon also aren't just dumped anywhere, they're dumped near suitable habitats which Ditto is going around building
If humanity had the technology and resources to relocate to and survive in space while already having the technology to mass-digitize Pokemon in stasis, why leave them all on PokeEarth? Just take the digital Pokemon with you and hopefully figure out a solution later.And no, it's not cause they wanted to release the Pokemon on their own later. Unless I misread the lore that was never part of the plan, that part was all Hackerman's doing.
>>59040954the people in charge of the human evacuation were aware that there was a risk of humans fucking things up and dying in space, so they wanted to leave the pokemon in a more guaranteed safe spot. iirc they thought the storage wouldn't fail at all, but hackerman found out that wasn't true and rigged up his planthe humans did also fuck up, and not bring enough supplies/fuel to get back to the planet. Team Rocket's plan which is completed by Ditto is what will let humans eventually make it back
I've only seen the one related to Red posted, what does the notes for the other player characters and rivals (Blue, Leaf Ethan, Lyra, and Silver) say?
>>59040954The whole digitization thing just proves this is fan fictionBoxes have always been physical
Why are paints so hard to get.I only have access to Leppa and Pecha berries but do have Aspear trees in the works, but not enough to feed a whole yellow dye operation. No Chesto at all for blue.I don't even know where to start getting Black or White paint.
>>59040994don't bother now, later when you raise a bunch of environmental levels you can buy paint from the pc
>>59041004Yeah but won't coins be super limited once I've cleared all the progression challenges and have to subsist entirely off of dailies? Which is like 600 per day unless there's another potential source.
>got a Charizard out of 4 blocks of tall grassHow lucky is this?
>>59041021you get a ton for some challenges, like making the legendary bird shrines is 5k each
>whole Pokédex section for Event Pokémon So we will be getting more of these little content updates? Good, keep it coming. This game fucking rocks
>>59040855Fuschia. The red roads and pink hones should be the giveaway, but if that doesn't seal the deal, you get Koga's outfit there.
How did the humans know that this literal apocalypse disaster would "calm down"? Why didn't they send people back like they said they were going too? They could have slowly started building something a trip at a time. It looked like they never bothered coming back and never checked in on the storage system. If they seriously ran low on fuel before even doing one trip back, they seemed really stupid.
>>59040848In a way it reminds me a lot of splatoon. World comes to an end on account of a shitstorm of natural disasters. And even though all mammals are dead, the sealife manages to inherit humanity’s wants and desires which kickstarts their evolution to be closer to that of humans, managing to slot in their ruins and start their own civilization based on their predecessors. Even though everyone’s all gone, it’s not all that bad since the inklings are now carrying humanity’s torch. It’s a nice idea, but unfortunately the execution was awful
Are some Pokémon better at tasks than others? Like will my Charizard be better at Smelting than a Magmar?
We have no choice but to believe this game is the prequel to mystery dungeon and the humans never actually came back
>>59041045Nope. Tinkaton is the only superior builder as having her cuts down building time by like 90%. A missed opportunity to have a "level" next to a pokemons skill that goes from 1-3 to show how better it would be toward a task.
>>59041057Another missed opportunity was Dittos moves. The moves could have been upgradable rather than solely rely on temporary food buffs. Especially using Rollout, you burn through it so quickly and have to untransform to eat.Cut>SlashRock Smash>Close CombatGlide>FlyWater Gun>Hydro PumpFood should have just provided a secondary PP bar that stacks on top of your natural PP.
>>59041057They most likely didnt do this so that your favorite Pokemon wouldn't be bad to use. Meaning people that like baby mons would still get to use them for any task without getting gimped. They did give evolutions a second specialty in most cases.
No timeskipping, I maxed out all the areas and I'm almost at 300 caught.This is the best pokemon product in possibly 20 years.
Best lights for maximum brightness? These shitty torches/mushroom lights dont do shit when lighting up a whole room.
>>59041104Fucking how? I'm still stuck on the tower challenges
>>59041127Probably hasn't spent a lot of time making everything look good
>>59041127Literally the only things requiring time are crop growing and the initial buildings, and I immediately clocked that they'd be important so I planted a shitton asap (so by day 3 I had functionally infinite crops)For the buildings, Tinkaton shortens stuff that'd take one day to just an hour or two, so once you get her time stops mattering.>>59041144I didn't right out stop and do any big projects because I knew I'd unlock better tools to do everything, but as part of the final maxing of all areas I did build cool stuff
>>59041166Retard
First house I made>>59041179?
>>59041115Any ceiling light tends to be really strong, I have the pop lamp everywhere
>>59041198How do you get more bricks?
>>59041208Give sticky clay to a fire pokemon
>>59041198Gonna steal this house design desu
Pokopia is Switch 2's killer app
Can someone please post parts 2 and 3 of this note? I’m super curious about what it has to say especially as someone who’s collected the physical pokemon soundtracks, please?
>>59041198I am now fucking embarrassed by my first house and will demolish it immediately after seeing this
You know, the fact modern-looking gaming PCs are available points to the game taking place much later than Red/Blue/Yellow, but on the other hand the fact Porygon-Z isn't available while Porygon2 is indicates the game possibly takes place before D/P/P would had, so mid-2000s?
>>59041278>but on the other hand the fact Porygon-Z isn't availablexisters.....who's gonna tell her...
>>59041045I swear Vulpix is fucking ass at smelting, it takes FOREVER to do anything

>>59041326Just feed pokemon their favorite foods, anon, level 5 is absolutely nothing
How do I relocate the pokemon center when that little shit hoppip won't leave? Do I really need to time travel or wait for the event to expire?
>peakychu wants me to bring pichu>heres the enclosed instruction book on where pichu is>ok>makes the habitat>nothing happens>move it somewhere else>nothing happens>try putting food in it and wait>nothing happensHURRY UP YOU FAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT
>>59040239my idea for a lavender town dlc is that you can restore the radio tower and that would act as the "listen to the discs anywhere" and you make a playlist like the one you make with dj rotom and it plays randomly on a radio you can access from the pokedex, maybe also add music discs more akin to animal crossing too just trying to have original songs covering every general genre, could also work like gsc and tell you habitat info over the radio, plus since its a spooky area youd pick up weird signals like in the ruins of alph, thatd probably tie into the other side of the area which i guess would lean more into the fact its lavender town
Can someone help me? I feel completely green and the game isn't helping me :<I have built a house for myself, put the ditto flag on the roof, but still do not know how to officialy move in. I have read that I need reconstruction something, but cannot find it...
>>59041350It might be limited to the first area check the habitat.
I think I would've liked the game but I looked up the whole thing so that's that
>>59041358You need three pieces of furniture inside the home. Any furniture will do. Toys count.
>After completing the mural, you start getting doubles of the mysterious slatesWonder how long it'd take to make a new mural of your own without the no doubles protection you get the first time around
>>59041386Yeah, I have 3 at the build home - I mean the one i built using blocks, not the premade by game. It is an empty house, but I wish to move here form my previous bushy hut
>>59041399Just remove the ditto flag from the other house by picking it up
>>59041408I did :< I removed it and placed it on the new house
I think I'm just going to level this whole place with rollout
>>59041490
How do I get Hoppip to move in?According to the computers, Hoppip lives in the first area but has no home. I have a 4 flower habitat in that area and also in the eastward (cloudy with a chance of raikou) area.I have both of its evos moved in just fine and it's beginning to annoy me, is it just a matter of waiting until the event ends or am I missing something?
>>59041556i guess so, since you also can't talk to it currently with it is behind the counter. Unlike with someone like hoothoot working the counter who you can still tell to stop working or follow you.I'm just gonna guess Hoppip is tied to the shop until the event ends.

Where can I find more types of dolls? I only found Pikachu and Eevee so far
>>59041600Dig up glowing spots and be lucky.Each area has their own unique pokedolls to find, though Pewter has two, and Fuschia also has the ditto and substitute dolls that give you a random Island of a type you've already visited.
did they update size requirements pokemon have for relaxation items? my ivysaur ive had since day 1 suddenly decided the garden bench i gave it is too small for it
I've almost completed the Pokemon center, just need to free Onix. When's a good time to stop progressing and go autism mode on the town and getting each pokemon the best habitat?
>>59041666>When's a good time to stop progressing and go autism mode on the town and getting each pokemon the best habitat?The first good time is after restoring the pokemon centre/before going to the next area. Getting each area to enviro level 10 unlocks some good schematics and build kits.The next, and better, time is after you finish the story and unlock the best traversal ability.
>>59041666probably whenever you feel like it after the pokemon center is repaired just so you don't miss the hopplip event(and any future event like that).The game pretty much tells you to do whatever after that by giving you requests to either go explore the next regions or raise the environment level further for the first.Though i'd probably put off big rebuilding projects until way later when you have all abilites.
How do I power on this disco ball? I'm at the party planning stage and I feel like it'd help a lot. Electabuzz refuses to do anything with it.

Is it possible to make an underground water pipe system?
Because I'm sure at least one person really wants to know this; getting the Vermillion city comfort level to 6 is what lets you learn the recipe to make the brick sidewalk stuff that's in the starting town.
Is this it? The fabled good new Pokémon game? It's been 3000 years...
>>59041829All it took was removing gamefreak from the equation, who'da thought?
>you can organize your storage chests with picture frames of the items And I love them for that
>>59041821Bless you anon.
>>59041844>All it took was removing gamefreak from the equationStop being dumb. GF had been working on pokopia for years. Even if people want to believe KT had made this game by themselves (they didn't), it doesn't change the fact that both Nintendo and GF knows GF had contributed a lot to the game so Nintendo can't say shit anymore.
The bulbagal has gone too far
How long was the development time for this game? Before the Switch 2 released?
>>59041859If you played DQB2 you'd know just how much KT took from that game and applied to this one. This game also has actual QoL, a rock solid art design and good music which is how you know GF didn't make it.But the real secret sauce that made me go "GF definitely didn't develop this shit" was when I realized that Pokemon actually work very hard to path behind you and don't just teleport all over the fucking place like they have the past like 7 years in mainline.
>>59040714sweet god
>>59041867Because there's no combat in this, you moron. Teleport is a necessary evil if you don't want to wait a minute for your pokemon to catch up and initiate a fight.
>>59041867Really poetic how a Pokemon spin off owes much to a Dragon Quest spin off that came before it
>Play pokopia nonstop for 5 days. >having a ton of fun restoring the areas to what i think they were originally supposed to look like based on the ruins>finish up the main story>get magnet rise>motivation to actually build anything drops to rock bottom as the game is turned into "creative mode" by that one abilitywell, that was a huge mood killer. all my desire to start a cloud server with my friends just evaporated now that i realized its all just gonna be a bunch of magnemites floating around. Building my own infrastructure to make the world pleasant to move around in just lost all meaning.
I forgot to give my cut mons logs before I went to bed...
>>59040341wow, that's way further than i thought. i assumed it was just the 5x5 grid centered on the sprinkler that the animation covers.
>>59040472eh, tinkaton removes most of the issues here by making every build super fast.
>>59040554presumably she's small and weak because she shared her food with everyone else.
>>59041955Only one tinkaton though and it still takes a few hours
>>59041929Silence, shill. The most Gamefreak contributed to this game was mandating that it had to be set in KANTOOO and that you transform into KANTOOO mons only, this game is objectively far too high quality to have been put in GF's hands, lest I remind you the last time they tried making a game that approached the genre of Pokopia; the "JRPG" where you dont leave the starting town.DQB2 is a beloved game while Little Town hero is an embarrassment, and Pokopia is basically DQB3: Let's Mog Animal Crossing While We're At It. You thinking GF came within 100 miles of the actual development shows how deep the Poke-shill brain mold has set.>>59041933Very true, damn.
>>59041949Magmar and Scyther are gonna get a whippin' if they ain't a workin'
>>59041411If your house is more than 12x12, it wont count. Walls are 2 blocks in height. Make sure your not putting the flag on a roof thats way higher than that, try putting it by the door to test it out.
>>59041949Do you really need all of that lumber though? I'm still fairly early on and I don't need a whole lot of it at the moment
How do those water basin things work for Pokémon to water the crops? Do you just leave it near a set of crops and a Pokémon will randomly waltz over and start watering?
>>59041978I know we're on a pokemon board but it is always crazy to see people think pokopia is somehow GF's achievement when it is quite literally a reskinned DQB, made by the DQB team. Even if the team wasn't involved and GF had made it themselves, they still would have done absolutely zero of the actual game design. That's how 1-to-1 it is. Pokopia is great despite GF's involvement, not because of it.
>>59041985 I searched each map and ran out of free lumber to pick up already so scyther has to get to work
>>59041976pretty sure tink makes every build other than the legendary bird environments just 1 hour.
>>59041996The simplest answer is typically the correct one; it is known and documented that Pokemon fans only play Pokemon and only compare Pokemon games to other Pokemon games, anyone thinking this game is a GF accomplishment has simply never even heard of Dragon Quest outside of the context of Smash Bros or something, and DQB? For get it.I'm just happy sitting in the knowledge that after New Snap, Colo, PMD, and now this, there is proof in every gen, on every console, that the best Pokemon games simply aren't developed by GF.
>>59042013Why aren't trees renewable? All they need to do is make it so that when you cut down a tree it can drop 2 or 3 seeds
>>59041978The teraleaks had shown GF had a working prototype of the game. Saying this was all by KT is people refusing to admit that GF is capable of making a good game. Like, holy shit, if the leaks didn't exist, we all would have believe this was all by KT, but because of one employee's horniness, we know that's not the case anymore.
>>59042029worst case, dream islands exist so you can get more trees.
Do pokemon that live in houses still do their community box work? like can i move Scyther and Pinsir into a house and have them fill up the box with lumber?
>>59042031Redpill me on the leaks. I missed all of that. Only heard about the game after that Direct
>>59042029Pokemon can give you tree seeds as gifts and you should be taking them from dream islands but even those are limited. It's like they WANT me to make sand wall houses for everyone
>>59042045Massive leak because one employee clicked on a 'click here for porn' link and the leaker gotten a hold of basically everyone in the GF server before they found out. Leaker played Z-A, leaked Wind/Waves and found out about Pokopia prototype, along with a massive amount of Pokemon discarded lore (which contain a significant amount of inter-species pokemon smut).
>got a Charizard from a regular 4 grass habitat That's right
>>59042031that prototype is basically a totally different game. it wasnt working out for them so they basically gave it off to koei tecmo who started from scratch just keeping the "build pokemon towns" idea, the original concept was like a clash of clans base building looking game, id call it disingenuous to say its even the same thing
Bros, is there a door that's 3 blocks wide? I can only find doors of 1 block or 2 blocks wide.
>>59042042welp, nevermind you can't even place the boxes indoors. there goes that idea.
There are too few pokemon with skills and too few free loaders. No way this utopia lasts in these conditions
>need iron ore for pokemon center>get trubbish>He won't refine my trash???
>>59042097*too many free loaders
>>59042087How the fuck would that even work?
>>59042132It'd be a set of double doors that are each 1.5 blocks wide
Slaving away at work right now and all I can think about is going home and slaving away building homes in pokopia
>>59040777Lavender Town for Halloween update, believe it.
Guys, it is essential to get porygon for the wireless electricity recipe. Two tables, one with a computer, one with a chemistry set
>>59041304Smelting just takes too goddamn long. Even with the enhanced smelter you might as well go to bed if you want a stack of 99 anything smelted.
>>59042198They should add Heatran to the game and give him a special smelting ability like how Tinkaton speeds up building.
>>59041350>heres the enclosed instruction book
>>59042201They absolutely need to add more speed boosts to these things but I bet they're coming with dlc.
>>59042132A door that is 3 blocks wide alone and 6 blocks wide when doubled (I need a singular 3 blocks wide door)
>>59040239Can you get the event Pokemon while offline? Is it clock based or is it internet based?
>have 17 small relics appraised>decide to make a museum of them>mass appraise another 18>start getting doublesAAAAAAAAAA!>>59042216Clock based.
>>59042300Oh great, so I won't need a Nintendo Online sub to get these events?
How have you utilized each of the areas in wasteland?
>>59040596There's still palette town
I disagree with the common sentiment that Nintendo didn't expect the success.This game could clearly have run on Switch 1 but they decided to make it Switch 2 exclusive for a reason.
>>59042330It could have "run" on switch, but it'd be a mess just like DQB2
>>59042330Yeah, because hame key cards are a lot cheaper to produce than Switch cartridges
>>59040239Just got to skylands. Why did they even let me get up to the big tower so early if its still tied to some main story progression thing so I can't interact with the building/whats inside it at all?May as well have just made it a bit higher or only accessible by fixing the lifts first.
Having serious trouble with the electric request in Bleak Beach. I connected all the possible generators to the stage in the center but Peakychu is still saying its not working. Where do I get generator recipes?
>>59042100You have to wait till the story progression tells you to.
>>59041985Its a good idea to just have a bunch on you at any given time in case you wanna quick build something. Your bag space just keeps getting bigger and if you get over 99 of any resources then you can just shove them in a storage box by a crafting table.
>>59042364You don't need to build any new generators. You just need to connect 5. Jump up the mountain behind the light house and find a few more waterwheels and then dig a tunnel through the mountain to connect them. Also connect the furnace on one of the islands.2 or 3 windmills2 waterwheels1 furnaceI forget the exact count but there are plenty already on the map. To answer your question though, you can get build kits for waterwheels and windmills in the PC shop after a certain level
>>59042380Thank you!
Is there any point to building a house beyond a leaf hut
>>59042431the bigger ones look nicer and you can fit more mons in them, if you're going the prefab themed house kits route then you may as well get nice looking ones that fit more mons in them.
>>59042431Huts suck. Build cottages for pokemon so you can fit more in less space. For yourself freebuild one so you don't have to have the mini loading screen to exit every time you fast travel.
Starting my slow, second playthrough
it's so much fun thinking of what kind of habitat a pokemon would live in, I really like this oasistook me so long for the lightbulb to go off that the 3D printer can print *anything*, including fully grown trees and boulders
>go into cottage>load>go upstairs>load>go back downstairs>load>leave cottage>loadI hate it but these houses are too space efficient to not use
Why are there timegated events in a fucking comfygame?
>>59042431A 2x2 ring of blocks with a door counts as a house and you can teleport to it without having to load twice every time
>>59042519Think of it as seasonal events. Its spring so hopips are blooming.
>>59042519My theory is that it was originally going to be a phone game.That's why it's full of times FOMO events and IRL time wasting.
>>59042523But it won't be back next spring, will it? It says 2026.
>>59042519You can always just visit someone's cloud island so you can copy and 3d print their habitats
>>59042516I really hate how inconvenient prebuilt houses are, new pokemon can't spawn in them if you make habs in them, they're essentially off-map, and for pokemon with litter/gather they make their skills unusable.They just feel like something you'd use in the post-game to make little dioramas, but they make your town deadPlus the bug where using honey on a city house will spawn the pokemon on the roof, making them unable to follow you
>>59042530I'm not paying for online.
>>59041860She is simply getting HUMID
>>59042528It was never going to be a phone game.>>59042536OK
>>59042544You can't prove that.
>>590424933D printer?
>>59042581Bro have you not gone inside the pokemon center?
>>59042529Since the events are coded into the game and not online, i bet it doesnt even check the year.
>>59042603Oh, so if I time skip I should be able to get event pokemon whenever I want? Even if I'm offline?
>>59042593What the FUCK this thing has been here the whole time. It seems OP
Palworld has way better build and craft autism than this slop
>>59042528retard
>>59042620You need pokemetal to print stuff and it's pretty rare
>>59042624Why are you so upset?
>>59042631Nta but you don't need to be remotely upset to call someome a retard, especially on 4chan. Retard.
>>59042620It's "gated" by consuming pokemetal and rare pokemetal I guess, since you get the doll for their dream island in the last areaOnce you get there it's functionally infinite though, a single trip will give you like 200-500 pokemetal and like 100 rare
How do I get lugia to land his fat ass and talk to me instead of flying over my cities making all that ruckus?
>>59042654You have to sing "stuck in Lugia's stomach alone"
>>59042639>gets upset>againBut why tho?
This game does a good job of making everything essentially a tutorial without it feeling monotonous
Why won't this faggot Raboot move into the home I built for him in the side of a wall it has a door it has stairs it has a table and a bench and a bed and an arcade machine and a step stool and a barrel and a plant and a plushie and a camp fire... The tutorial tells me it needs at least three pieces of furniture but by my count that's nine.
>>59042744Post a screenshot so we can see what's wrong with it
>>59040239Anyone know how to get water to these clearly made waterways to this area in the first map? It's sloped higher in the distance implying the water needs to be coming from the edge of the map but there's nothing over there, unless there's a way to spawn a water block much later
>>59042744You might not actually be placing any of those inside the actual bounds of the house.When you place the door, do the right walls light up? If you press the right stick is the bounding box actually where you expect it to be?
>>59042789Keep progressing and come back. I don't think there's a natural water spawn near there you can use.
>>59042789>unless there's a way to spawn a water block much lateryes, your ultra succ ability will get upgraded to suck water up and place it elsewhere
>>59042789You need to unlock a move from wooper
>>59042789We should have a psa for new player to not start big projects before you unlock all the abilities
>>59042641>lock till last arenayou don’t know the real pokemetal farm is Clefairy doll
>>59042754I have 4. Here is the entrance.
>>59042859This is inside
>>59042800I can't see any boundaries when I put the door down... Or right click ... Maybe I'll just excavate the area around the house.
>>59042859Did it recognised it as a house? Like the picture here.Then you need a bed, a chair, a table, a toy and 1 deco.
>>59042885>>59042891There's a chance the game is putting the "house" on the wrong side of it, if the other side is also enclosed.
>>59042892>>59042898The other side of the door is the tunnel that leads out into the open... I'm just gonna break all the rocks around the house so it's isolated. Stupid bunny.
>>59041591>Former championI'm going to assume like Red, Ethan stepped down from the position of league champion
I need so many more trees for paint but im out of rare pokemetal aaaaa.I guess dragonite island is best place to farm it?
>>59042914>grew up healthy and happy:)
>>59042380I remember expecting to have to do all that, and then it just worked when i connected 1 windmill and 1 furnace.
>>59042535>making them unable to follow youthat's when you call your wife gardevoir and have her teleport your whole crew to wherever you're going.
Are gardevoir, glaceon, lopunny, braixen, tsareena, and hatterene in the game?
>>59042982>Are gardevoir, glaceon, lopunny, braixen, tsareena, and hatterene in the game?only seen Gardevoir and Glaceon, but who cares about that list when best gremlins Mawile and TinkaGOD are in.
>>59042982The Eeveelutions and Gardevoir lines are both in the game, unsure about the others however
Kyogre showed up again at random, can I do anything with him? only talking so far
>can't relocate the pokecenter at the moment because hoppip exists>can't do shit until it leaves by the 25thThis seems like a bit of an oversight. Surely there's a way to get Hoppip to fuck off for a moment?
Can you just house Pokémon in the overworld by building houses out of individual parts there, or do you have to use the instanced houses? Like, if you build a house in the overworld, is the game actually capable of recognising that as a place to house someone in, with accurate perimeter and all that?
I'm going to shit.It's because the door was a block higher than your furniture. The house needs three pieces of furniture on the same level as the door or it doesn't count as a house.
>>59043016Yes. When you slap a door on an appropriately sized enclosed space you'll see the floor sparkle and you'll be able to invite others to live there. Just remember to add furniture
>>59042619Yes, there's also a sableye event coded for april in the game that you can participate
>S.S Anne exists in bleak beachFuck you devs, there's no way I can leave this thing alone without refurbishing it properly
>>59043011change your system date?
>>59040374Disappointed in humanity that they were dumb enough to pay for a key card, especially after they said the price is only going to go up now. If the game is too cheap to go on a real cart, then it should be sold as a budget game price like eShop exclusives.
>>59041041I like to believe thay they never achieved interstellar travel around this time period. So it most likely that they intended to remain around the orbit of the planet, only to overshoot in a panic and drifted out of the star system stranded.
>>59040851>The big building that's buried under the mountainside is almost certainly the Celadon Department Store.What makes you say this?I didn't see anything that suggested it might be the Dept Store, what did you see?
>>59043087What got me about the ending was why are they living in DBZ Saiyan pods and not a large mother ship? That really added to the confusion on what the fuck were they thinking and doing.It could also be some Star Trek shit, they travelled so far off that time-wise, the Earth went through centuries of time, while the humans actually didn't have that much time pass and were at best a few years or decades older.>>59043010He showed up for me and I couldn't do anything but talk, but he showed up in the middle of water and you can't do anything when your transformed into a Lapras.
so how are you supposed to know the habitats of event pokemon without looking them up online?
>>59043135Once again, lack of urgency leading up to the planetary shit fit have lead to space ships being underdeveloped, to the point that the humans were uncertain they'll survive in space. Hopefully the rocket ditto sent have enough resources to help them travel back home. They're basically survival capsules in space.
>Suicune can't walk on waterFucking SOULLESS
>>59043162You get hints that spawn next to each possible habitat making furniture piece, More hints are available through the in game shop or by exploring dream islands.
>>59043170Considering Team R grunt said the Rocket had more than enough fuel to go there and back, and wasnt cutting it close like humanity's main fleet was, there should at least be enough fuel for them to send a support team back to procure supplies to eventually send back to everyone else.Seems to me like much like Team R's boss predicted, they didnt have enough fuel and couldn't even send their PC maintenance team back, which is presumably why the habitat release failsafe activated.
Which gate should I go to first to get more ghost pokemon?
Going through the hackers entries again, he basically questions why the news isn't covering any of the eco disasters, and than outs Aether Paradise for covering up the initial news. He also makes it sound like Alola was the first region to get these disasters, as he remembers that the region it started in is where Aether is located, which would imply Alola is Area Zero for where it first happened.Could the disaster had been Ultra Beast related? Silph Co could have just been experimenting something completely different which caused those weird crystals and the city being risen to the skies, since no other area really had that. Maybe they were trying to use it as an energy source or something i dunno
I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT CD'S STOP GIVING THEM TO ME
>>59043179does that even apply to event habitats?
>>59043267I wish I could at least put them all in a stack or cd case instead of having a whole chest dedicated to them
>>59043010>He showed up for me and I couldn't do anything but talk, but he showed up in the middle of water and you can't do anything when your transformed into a Lapras.i built the dock over there out to where he was at and couldn't do anything but talk to him either (i thought it'd be funny if he could follow you)
Speaking of CDs, how do I get a music player? I just "finished" Bleak BeachAlso, can I make Pokémon follow me to other areas?
can I make the bleak beach cloudy again, after raikou clears up the weather? I kinda liked the mood
>>59043016as long as you make a square/rectangle up to 12x11 squares all connected + a door, the game will recognize it as a house that can have up to 4 pokemon
Did anyone else move Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee to the Dojo in Sparkling Skylands?
>>59043267>that book that mentions that streaming services were all shut down because of the energy crisis so CDs went back into fashion
>>59043324Hilarious, considering this game is gamecard only. The fucking irony
>>59043289You get a cd player recipe later on, or find radios in the last area.And yes, you can teleport/quick travel with Pokemon that are following you, if they don't have a side quest or story mission tied to them.
>>59043338...which work the exact same way pc cd games used to work in the past, you installed the game on your pc and only needed the disk as DRM
Now that the dust has settled, what do we honestly think of this game?
>>59043364Genuinely one of the best Pokémon games
>>59043364it's the best switch 2 exclusive so far and the first game that makes it worth it to buy the console
>>59043364>dust has settled. Dude i haven't even made a dent in the ash piles yet. The dust has yet to be kicked up.
I need a sequel that makes the Alolan islands crash into another region.
>>59043307Can you you just make a square cave and slap a door on the entrance or does it have to be specific blocks/walls with nothing next to them?
>>59043364The honeymoon phase faded for me pretty quickly, I went from thinking it's amazing and I want to play it forever to it's just alright. I would put the DQ Builder games above it.I've got a bunch of little gripes but I think my biggest are with the Pokemon. Their dialogue is already getting very repetitive, and I wish they would have opted to cut down the number of Pokemon in favor of making them more unique and villager-like. Especially if they're gonna put a cap of only 20 being active on a map at any given time.
>>59043393yeah you can do that, as long as you add a door to anything that's from 2x2 up to 12x11 on the same level as the door, it will count
>>59043380I want Johto or at least a Johto DLC. Johto has amazing historic Japanese architecture
>>59043393Can confirm rape dungeons do exist as homes. I have an underground storage and when I put up my gate entrance it turned into a home
Are there really only 5 worlds?I thought I was building up to something.I'd have taken more time.
>turn into a 1 tile size regular ditto form when crawling under blocksEverything about this game is brilliantly designed with tons of QOL
>>59043267>Rotom can only hold five CDsjust let me give him the whole playlist and then let the CD's fuck off. they shouldn't even have duplicates.
>>59043427My biggest gripe is not being able to eat while transformed, or inhale items in either. Using Graveller to flatten down and having to stop every minute or 2 to eat really sucks.
Yes, I did steal all of the furniture and windows from the Dream Island homes, how could you tell?
>>59043338how is that ironic? the game isn't streaming.
>>59043445By the floating windmill
My Scyther is working a 72 hour shift
>>59043420Don't worry, you'll get more in the DLC :^)•__•
I hope they did what new horizons did and add additional dialogue in every update
>>59043409>>59043418Sweet. Always loved doing cave homes in Minecraft. Satisfies something in my caveman brain, they feel so cozy.
>>59043452Once the servers are offline, you won't be able to get the game and play it.
>>59043487yes you canwii download servers are literally still up.
Ok, so what will her smash move set be?
>you can sprint with RolloutWhy didn't you niggas tell me? I'm fucking ZOOMIN
>>59043487Imagine being dumb enough to believe this
>>59042999Based trips.>get Mawile>she fucking builds for some reason>get to bring her with me in the areas I'm developing and have her make huts and stuffThe only way she'd be better is if she could fly.
I wanna make a triathlon with graveler, lapras, and dragonite sections>graveler sections will be a traditional race track with jumps, falling lava, and narrow passages>lapras section will have shallows with narrow passages of deep water that you have to stay in to keep your speed >dragonite will just have a glide down a tube with falling lava you have to avoidI'm gonna make this
I finished the entire Mew mural before getting a single Tyrantrum head and before Pichu spawned in after several days for Peakychu's requestthis shit sucks sometimes
>>59043411I feel like since there are locations we haven't seen yet, we might just get more Kanto, and they'll save other regions for a sequelViridian City and it's forest make for an obvious locationThe Pokemon League could also be a spotI'm also surprised they didn't have Bill show up again, turned into a Pokemon like he did back in the actual Kanto games, so if they made Cerulean City a spot, I could see the bridge location and Bill's home popping up, with possibly a Pokemon version of Bill being revealed to be around
Anyone figured out how housing kits work?There's a limit to how many you can buy from the PC, but presumably you can use them on cloud islands and stuff since the Devs did, so there has to be a way to get infinite, right?
>>59043431You can set up cd player items around town. Give each building an appropriate theme. Speakers actually do something.
>>59043540>before Pichu spawned in after several days for Peakychu's requestyou did make the habitat in the wastelands, right? pichu only spawns there
>>59043361Not really because the data was on the disc. There's nothing on a game keycard
What's the cooldown on these fucking vending machines? I've gotten 3 soda pop and 1 fresh water but none of the hot spring water I need for Torchic's request
>>59043609it shouldn't, and doesn't mention that in game at all>>59043621bring a fire pokemon with you, then you'll get the hot spring water
I recognize this game is peak but I'm so burned out on decorating games. My Animal Crossing island is still a work in progress after 5 years. Now I have to design all this shit
>>59043645It actually does specify that in the habitat dex entry.
Moltres is such a lazy fuck, can't even power a furnace.
>>59043695well shit, thats dumb but also my fault for trusting the game to contain things to certain areas>>59043705the birds are all handled weird. None of them can do anything but fly, and the massive homes you build for them don't actually count as habitats so you need to build them bitch sheds if you don't want them to be homeless despite having fuckhuge temples
>>59043715yeah, i built an office and a concert stage outside the power plant, so Zapdos is gonna be the manager there now.
>>59043621once a day, and if you place/move the vending machine it doesn't get stocked until the next dayit took me two days and probably checking a dozen machines before i got the tea (and then got it 3 times afterwards)
>>59043715also >power plant>not a single fixture that could generate powerwhat a ripoff.
What does the hype speciality even do?
>>59043495Okay? They won't be forever.>>59043502How are you gonna get the game if the eShop discontinues?
are there any other "level 2" foods other than Potato Steak?
>>59043773>How are you gonna get the game if the eShop discontinuesby putting the game key card in and having it download directly from the download server, exactly how it works today.
>>59043788The "download server" isn't separate from the eShop server. If the server is gone, you can't get the game anymore.
>>59043823>The "download server" isn't separate from the eShop serverit is actually, that's why Wii games are still available for redownload.
>>59043823except it is seperate from the eshop servers.
>>59043843>>59043845Still, it's a server. It can go offline whenever they feel like it.
>>59043863If the shop servers ever go down for good there will either be an unnoficial way to get the data or the world will be in a state where playing pokopia is no longer a concern. I dont expect either to happen in my life time desu.
>>59043843>it is actually, that's why Wii games are still available for redownload.you still need to access the wii shop channel to download those though (which is up still, there just nothing you can buy except for a few free utility apps like the skyward sword save file fix program)
>>59043882I can still download Zelda four swords on my dsi. Cope harder steamcultist
How do I get hoppip to join?
>>59043933It auto joins if you have a pokecenter built
>>59043914i know, i was just saying in the case of the wii (and probably the dsi, and 3ds) the download is still dependent on the store being upthe switch (and digital switch 2) games might not be anymore because of virtual game cards though, and the assumption is game key cards are independent of the account licensing backend too
