The Pokemon Company has confirmed that Pokemon Pokopia will be releasing on March 5, 2026, with a new trailer set to debut later this week. Since it made its debut appearance in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, Pokemon Pokopia has spelled danger for Pokemon fans who are also into cozy games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, who are undoubtedly going to sink hundreds of hours into it. The adventure of a strange looking Ditto person befriending all of the creatures in the world of Pokemon is almost certainly going to pop off. And now Nintendo has confirmed on its Twitter account that there isn't much longer to wait, as Pokemon Pokopia's vague "Spring 2026" release for the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive has been narrowed down to March 5, 2026.
