Pokémon Pokopia Game Crosses 5 Million Units Sold Worldwide – News

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced on Friday that Pokémon Pokopia, their cozy-style life simulation crafting game for the Pokémon franchise, has sold more than 5 million units worldwide in about four months.

The game’s paid Expansion Pass DLC added the underwater Bubbly Basin town on August 5 as part 1 of the pass. The game will add accessories in late 2026 as part 2 and another town in 2027 as part 3. Purchasing the DLC gives players a bonus Dynamic Ditto print recipe and bonus Rare Pokémetal in-game. The free update that launched with part 1 of the DLC included new Pokémon such as Manaphy, Popplio, Mudkip, Chinchou, Lanturn, Buizel, Corphish, Totodile, Dhelmise, Golisopod, Corsola, Frillish, Lumineon, and Sharpedo.

The free update adds the ability for players to explore and build underwater in existing towns using the new ability to Dive.

The game launched for Nintendo Switch 2 on March 5 with a Game-Key Card release. Game-Key Cards are physical cartridges that do not actually contain a game, but rather, a key to unlock and play the digital version from Nintendo‘s eShop. Koei Tecmo developed the game.

The game introduces Professor Tangrowth, Peakychu, Mosslax, and Smearguru. They are variations of Tangrowth, Pikachu, Snorlax, and Smeargle, respectively.

The battle-focused game Pokémon Champions launched on iOS and Android on June 17. The game debuted for Switch on April 8.

The new Pokémon Winds/Waves games will launch for Switch 2 worldwide in 2027.
