The game features dynamic crafting mechanics where players collect materials like wood and rocks to build furniture, grow vegetables, and create custom homes for visiting Pokémon. What sets Pokopia apart is its innovative use of Pokémon moves as environmental tools - use Bulbasaur's Leafage to add greenery or Squirtle's Water Gun to hydrate your plants.
