The new title reimagines the familiar world, letting players feel at home with their companions instead of commanding them.

Play as Ditto

  • Perspective shift: You’re not a human trainer—you’re Ditto, the shapeshifting Pokémon who remembers its lost trainer.
  • Story focus: Friendship takes center stage; Ditto can transform into any Pokémon it meets, inheriting their moves.

Starting Out

  • Opening scene: Wake up in a quiet village and meet Professor Tangrowth, who introduces your first Pokémon friend.
  • Habitats: Each new companion teaches a skill to build habitats—grass for Bulbasaur, water for Squirtle, fire for Charmander.
  • Growth loop: Habitats attract more Pokémon, creating a cycle of discovery and creation that keeps gameplay fresh.

Seamless Exploration

  • Tutorial: Integrated into exploration, allowing instant experimentation.
  • Trace clues: Collect “trace” hints to locate other creatures.

Progress Tracking

  • Special app: Monitors progress, rewards items and coins to upgrade environments.

Multiplayer Experience

  • Shared worlds: Friends can join a shared world where Pokémon live inside houses, complete with furniture and decorations.

Replayability

  • Core playtime: 20–40 hours, but daily events and community-building keep players returning.
