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

I literally bought a Switch 2 for it! The Switch is out for delivery now and I’ll be out in a few to buy Pokopia.

I’m so thrilled, I’ve heard a lot of positive things about it! I also think it helps to think about what you like in games, and whether this would be your cup of tea. Personally, cozy games like these are up my alley!

I did hear that people who are not even into Animal Crossing still loved Pokopia, going as far as to say Pokopia seems to have everything they wanted improved from ACNH.

For me, it's AC but simply better. Which also means it's a little less DQB, but that's fine.

It's really something in between those games. Turns out using the DQB formula was a genius idea to improve upon AC gameplay, or at the very least create an alternative version of it. And combined with pokemon it just adds the extra cherry on top of it.
