Go on, tell us.

Pokémon Pokopia launched exclusively for the Switch 2 this week, and if you haven’t already heard about this new relaxing life-simulation, it’s been getting quite a lot of praise.

The game has already shot to the top of Metacritic as one of the highest-rated Pokémon games of all time, and here in our review on Nintendo Life, we mentioned how it was the freshest Pokémon experience in a long time, bursting at the seams with charm and content that rewards both curiosity and creativity.
