They Did it! Pokemon Pokopia Finally Convinces People To Finally Upgrade To Switch 2

[RAMROD 114,553]

The Switch 2 is about nine months old at this point, and while there have been a few bangers like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, the system hasn’t really had a capital S System Seller yet. That might’ve changed this week, however, as Pokémon Pokopia seems to have finally gotten folks to upgrade.

This morning my brother, who had been planning on waiting until Pokemon Winds and Waves launches next year to finally take the plunge on the beefier handheld console, told me he was starting to hear Pokopia call to him like the Green Goblin mask. Kotaku writer Zack Zwiezen said some of his friends had also decided to buy the Switch 2 to play the Animal Crossing-style life sim. If you look around at places like the Pokopia subreddit, it sounds like a lot of Pokemon fans have been persuaded.

“I wanted to wait with the Switch 2 for a bit longer, but Pokopia made me cave,” Liodin_ writes.  “It’s arriving tomorrow and I can’t wait to join the cozy fun!”

Some folks say they were waiting for Nintendo to release a special-edition console based on something like Winds and Waves or a potential new Super Mario game, but since those don’t seem imminent, an exclusive game they want to play is as good a reason to jump in as any.

“Pokemon games have always been my reason for grabbing Nintendo consoles,” OcnBtzV3 wrote.

I bought my switch2 at launch but haven’t used it much. I bought Pokopia and will play it soon, sounds like I’m going to be addictive

I'm a PlayStation girly tbh. My Switch (aka Pokemon machine) sits mostly unused

I bought mine just after launch. I don’t know if I’ll get Pokopia. I want soulsilver 

[StarstruckIllusion 53,389]

Got mine at launch and lived for most of the big hitters. Pokopia has been hooked like Animal Crossing years prior. It’s that good.

It has also sold out in USA, following Canada.
