The Bubbly Basin expansion for Pokopia is out a few weeks now and I am having much more fun in the game. I find the Magnemite form hard to use. I instinctly know how to go up, but moving Ditto down is much more counter intuitive. (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
The Bubbly Basin is underwater and you blow a small bubble to use as an air-helmet in your Squirtle form to be able to stay under water for long periods of time. Very handy.
And I love the water type Pokemon, Totodile and co are just the cutest! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
There is more room for me to build. I feared in the land area, that breaking down the default mountain, I would mess up the area. In Bubbly Basin, there is more flat space to create.
When scrolling throuhg Insta I see people’s amazing builds just like the ones that blew me away in Animal Crossing. I don’t think I have enough skill to build something nice but I will try in Pokopia.
Like a Youtuber said, Pokopia has everything that Animal Crossing is missing and I seem to spend more time on Pokopia now than on Animal Crossing. And this cozy game is fun to play for a few hours a day, and you can even sink more time into it if you want. But for me it is ideal as its a handheld, I can spend time in bed when my legs are restless again. Or play on the couch after work to wind down and relax. (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)
I am glad I got the Switch 2 for this game, I am having fun with Pokemon again. I feel connected with the younger me and welcome the return of playful excitement.
