Press release:
June 17th, 2026 – Savour the slow life and build a Pokémon paradise with a new Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Pokopia console bundle launching in Europe on July 2nd. The bundle comes with a Nintendo Switch 2 console and a full game download of Pokémon Pokopia.

Pokémon Pokopia is a relaxing life simulation game devoted to crafting, creating and building. Pokémon and people once lived happily together, but the world has withered and the humans are gone. The only remaining resident appears to be a lone Tangrowth. After waking from a long slumber, a peculiar Ditto decides to restore the desolate land using its transformation skills and its surprising new crafting abilities.

Play as a Ditto and build a charming world alongside your Pokémon friends. After a satisfying day of crafting, building, and gardening, relax in your very own paradise or invite Pokémon and your friends to visit. As players restore their world and cultivate its natural beauty, they’ll encounter more Pokémon who will teach them useful moves. Plus, up to four people can play together in online and local wireless multiplayer.

Additionally, the Pokémon Pokopia experience continues under the sea with a free update arriving this August. Players will be able to explore the ocean floor using the new move Dive, to plant grass, build structures, and create their own underwater towns alongside Pokémon. The Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass paid DLC*1 is also on the way, introducing three parts of additional content. Part 1 of the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass paid DLC, Bubbly Basin, will launch this August and invite players to Dive into a new underwater town filled with new furniture, outfits, and Pokémon friends.

The new Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Pokopia console bundle launches in Europe on July 2nd. The bundle comes with a Nintendo Switch 2 console and a full game download of Pokémon Pokopia. Players can savour the slow life and build a Pokémon paradise in a relaxing life simulation game devoted to crafting, creating and building.
