Pokémon Pokopia

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

  • The game has a different logo on the title screen in the Japanese version, but are there any other regional differences?
  • Check for anything unused when Switch 2 titles can be dumped.
  • A recent Game Freak video has revealed prototype information on the game. Document this, too

Pokémon Pokopia is the franchise's take on Animal Crossing and a spiritual successor to Dragon Quest Builders 2, set in a land where humans and Pokémon had once lived. You play as a Ditto that takes on the form of its (seemingly long-gone) Trainer, and set out to create a utopia for Pokémon to live in (a pokopia, if you will)... and, perhaps, discover what happened to the humans.
