Pokopia made me look at PokΓ©mon’s high-tech future in a whole new way The power of science is amazing!

Pokopia has a whole 3D printer and it surprised me so much that I ended up reanalyzing how PokΓ©mon treats technology in general. Gift link if you want to read :) www.theverge.com/games/890131...

After playing Pokopia for the past week, can confidently say that this game's going to consume people's lives (complimentary) while we're all waiting for Wind and Waves.

It's a lot like Animal Crossing/Minecraft/Dragon/Quest Builders, but it's also bigger than the sum of is parts. My review:

I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.
