The Pokémon Company is excited to announce 4 days of interactive free trial events for its highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 title, Pokémon Pokopia. The free trial events in Manila, Philippines, will kick off on April 11, 2026, offering fans a first-hand look at this brand-new cozy adventure.
Experience a Cozy New Life with Pokémon
Pokémon Pokopia is an immersive slow-life, sandbox game that allows players to shape the world around them and build a cozy new life alongside Pokémon. During the free trial events, players will have the opportunity to test out the game’s core gameplay using the latest Nintendo Switch 2 console. Visitors can meet various Pokémon, learn new skills, grant Pokémon requests, create unique habitats, and freely explore and craft.
Whether you are a seasoned gamer or brand new to the world of Pokémon, everyone is welcome. Friendly, knowledgeable on-site staff will be readily available to guide and assist anyone who isn’t sure how to play.
