Yeap. It’s why I was excited about Pokopia from initial announcement. I’m just glad I have a game like DQB with an IP I like way more.

Ideas for later πŸ₯Ή

Or maybe it’s a section on my cloud island: Koholint.

I sure do want a Zelda Pokopia experience.

Even if it’s just so I can create my own Animal Village.

I could do something like it in Pokopia but with pokemon. But maybe copy the layout from Links Awakening somewhere πŸ₯Ή

It’s also funny that it took a collaboration for these habitats to really come alive.

I think the most impressionable thing Pokopia has done to my brain is that it’s showing me that these pokemon have more habitats than just β€œinside cave, building or wild grass” and it’s pretty cool. Like of course Mareep likes to live around old world vending machines with overgrown grass. Who knew?

Would love to find an inexpensive area rug that cats will love tearing up but it won’t look like shit when they do

I’m tired of looking at what they’ve done to the apartment floor with their constant pulling up threads do to scratching.

Or I just cover the entire floor with aluminum foil

Getting way too high while playing Super Mario Bros 2 is called Tokey Tokey Panic.

I was out yesterday and when I got in from arrival duty. I got so many hugs from my kids asking me where I was yesterday.

I never got that reception at my last school and I was there for so long.

My heart.

Sorta in my feels thinking about how I have like 65 more days with the students I work with. As I don’t know if I’m doing this next year cause I wanna teach in my own classroom.

It’s been some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever experienced.

Went and saw a circus with my students. 2 field trips here in a single year.

Also @supersnazzi.bsky.social one of the performers did a unicycle piece to Walking on a Dream by empire of the sun and I was prob the one person in the audience vibing really hard.

Pokopia is the first game I wanna use game chat for and play with others.

Can we make that happen?! Plz 😭

Yeah I wanna invite others to visit. I also have a cloud island that I need to put work into. And I can totally give you the code for it sometime

I made Onix and Venusaur be roommates in Pokopia because I’m chaotic evil.

I played an hour this morning. Had pidgey following me while we ran around using the dowsing machine to find relics and that’s all I did. Idk why I just love Pidgey helping me find stuff. 😭😭😭

Been seeing a lot of talk how Pokopia is moving switch 2’s fast. One Reddit thread talked about 2-3 being sold a day since Pokopia released.

Love to see it

The one with Hoppip? It’s super cute and I want all the items they have in my game. Curious if they show up with different things in other peoples games

10.03.2026 16:47 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah. I was gonna say this is prob the best 3D pokemon game out there.

The last time I played this clean of a pokemon game (meaning it doesn’t run like poop) was prob DS era.

Pokopia is proof in the pudding that gamefreak should ask for help more often and should collaborate with other devs for anything pokemon going forward.

It really does look like a successor to Yoshi’s story. No cap.

The stop motion book look of the new Yoshi game is too good.

Really hoping it’s a decent game.

OMG my spiritual sequel to the best Yoshi game. Yoshi’s story.

Can’t wait.
