Two weeks ago, I got the game Pokopia for my Switch 2, and I immediately started playing. Before that, I mostly played Animal Crossing, as it was my go-to cozy game. I’m not even lying when I say I’m addicted to Pokopia. I’m completely obsessed and enjoying every single minute of it. So, if you’re still not sure whether you should buy and play this game, I’ll give you a few reasons.

Reasons to Play Pokopia

1. It is super cozy
   I’m the kind of person who loves cozy games. I grew up playing The Sims for hours, and now the only games I play are Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Animal Crossing, and Pokopia. I love walking around and completing small tasks that require almost no effort. I can just take it slow. If you love cozy games too, this is the perfect game for you. You can even play mini-games with your Pokémon. You can jump rope with Bulbasaur or play hide-and-seek.
   
2. Pokémon
   If you love Pokémon, you’re going to love this game as well. I haven’t found all the Pokémon yet, but according to Google, there are over 300 Pokémon you can discover across different areas. Some of them are super cute, while others have special abilities that they can teach you or use to help you.
   
3. It is HUGE
   The moment I started playing Pokopia, I entered the first area and already thought it was big. It was much bigger than Animal Crossing. But then I started exploring, climbing mountains, and suddenly realized how massive it actually was, and that was only the beginning. Soon, you discover gates that lead to other areas, and those are just as big. I love how huge this world is.
   
4. There is so much to do
   I’ve only played for a couple of hours so far, and I’m already a bit overwhelmed, in a good way, by how much there is to do. Of course, you have daily tasks, but at the beginning, you also follow a storyline and complete bigger objectives. You need to raise your environment level, but you can also demolish things and rebuild them. The options are endless, which means you can easily play this game for hours or even weeks without getting bored.
   
5. You can build everything you want
   At the start, you can only do a few things, but the more you play and complete tasks, the more options unlock. You’ll discover more recipes for paths and bricks that you can use to build roads and houses. You can create a beautiful home for your Ditto, your Pokémon, or even build an entire town or city. The possibilities are basically endless.
   
   A lot more interaction than Animal Crossing
6. Sometimes I felt like Animal Crossing was a bit limited when it came to conversations with villagers. But Pokopia feels very different. There’s a lot more dialogue and interaction. Of course, I’m still at the beginning and haven’t completed the storyline yet, but my first impression is really positive.
