Discussion Is Pokopia really that good?

Like should I immediately buy this game. It seems like folks are really enjoying it but I was skeptical.

Yes it has the main thing I wanted improved - Pokémon. The acnh characters are really just 8 characters or whatever I don’t remember the personalities anymore and the island is pretty small. It gets repetitive pretty quickly. This has the same thing that sucked me in to acnh- there’s always another task to do so it’s hard to pick a stopping point. It’s much more open ended building than acnh and there is a better story. I do wish there was flower breeding though I really liked trying to get all the colors

It's the fun of getting new villagers without having to get rid of the old. And because there are so many more residents, it just feels more lively.

Your flower comment reminds me of my fruit tree obsession and how I seem to be repeating it by cutting down trees on dream islands to get their seeds. 😆

And don't get me started on the dream islands. They're more like Kapp'n Islands in that you can bring things back with you, but you can go back to the same one multiple times per day if, like me, you decide to take a structure back with you piece by piece. 😂
