@cla@clashtwo5066 joke needs some work conceptually, you’re asking us to believe that you somehow thought of “fun-geon” while completely missing “dungeon”
I really enjoyed Pokopia in the 90 odd minutes I played it before my wife violently wrestled the Switch 2 from my hands and rubbed dirt in my eyes. I haven’t seen either of them since 🤷
Bubble maker, leaf grower and lamp placer may all seem like weak powers, but one must consider that they would be game-breakingly strong if they were available in Balan Wonderworld
When I started playing this I was like "Damn this is really similar to Dragon Quest Builders" only to discover it was made by the same team, no wonder I love it so much
@julianbell9161 The project was conceived by Mr. Omori of Game Freak. he has already developed the game’s world setting and art style to a certain extent.
So there's a devteam that does nothing, but pumps out this game with different skins. Now it kinda makes sense. It looked too decent for a GameFreak game.
@Þrymskviða You know, I was on the "Gamefreak is probably the problem with pokemon" train for a while, but then they put out that trailer for a new "Beasts of Reincarnation" game that they are working on and it looooooks pretty cool and well made, obviously can't tell until it comes out, but it's made me really reconsider if it's actually just Nintendo wanting low budget cash grab pokemon games because they sell no matter what anyway.....I dunno, food for thought.
@BurnAmazonDown it's frustrating after years of the mainline games cutting corners, a random DQB-Pokemon crossover spinoff comes out of nowhere to retroactively make GF feel justified in their previous decisions to not fully commit to their "main" projects. It sends the wrong message when people are apparently willing to shill out $500 for a new console specifically to play an exceedingly "alright" game, when for YEARS fans have been asking for GF to invest even an iota of effort into the mainline games. And to add insult to injury, they had the gall to not give us a physical release of Pokopia.
Got my wife hello kitty island adventure for her birthday, she now only plays that and now pokopia. Maybe the island adventure all along is ignoring your loved ones.
@shrimpmanwhit3621idk, man, we all sit around and watch my wife play, and look up facts about the characters and stuff on the wiki. It's a whole group activity
@oi_bruvthis is that one lizard enemy from elden ring that breaths the fog that kills you instantly that is also the worst enemy in the game that no one likes
From all the footage of it I've seen, it goes faster on the upswing and then slows down on the downswing, which is the opposite of how gravity or a real jump rope works. I'm 100% convinced I'm going to fail it too for that exact reason.
It was a quick fade transition for us, but for Dunkey, days went by between those two clips. Now that he has discovered Pokopia, Dunkey is no longer shackled by linear time. Pokopia has taken him. Pokopia is infinite, Pokopia is all.
This game really makes you FEEL like Mokujin from Tekken Tag 2, as you use characters iconic moves in ways that they couldn't by using his static height
0:12 That's exactly what happens to me when I play this game. But not in a bad "this game is so boring it puts me to sleep" way, rather in a good "this game is so cozy it cured my insomnia" way. 10/10 game, would nap again.
@Conradlovesjoythere are too many cozy games that lack unique design and interesting gameplay, but its not that weird. its just the opposite of the obessession with competitive gaming
Hey, i’m not a drone, I’ve been complaining about the drop in quality Pokémon has seen since well before Gen 8 was even announced, but I think it’s only fair we acknowledge that game freak actually did develop this game, in partnership with omega force. The idea originated from shigeru ohmori, who served as a senior director and also directed scarlet and violet. It also speaks to a healthy corporate culture or even potentially an interest in learning from a more successful dev considering he allowed one of the Koei devs to lead this project which he conceptualized. I’m all for being up game freak’s ass about their laziness and greediness lately, but for the sake of pokemon discussions not being a cesspool of negativity, I think credit should be given where it’s due.
Charmander lights a fire, Bulbasaur waters plants... In a teeny tiny environment. This is just Palworld but smaller xDDDDDDDDDDDD and without extreme violence and guns.
Squirtle is a kinkster, "spit on me, its the only way I feel alive." Genuinely though, I really do enjoy watching gameplay for Pokopia, it's very clever.
Wow, Dragon Quest Builders 3 is looking very monster-based this time around. I'm so glad Nintendo didn't directly lift and infringe on yet another Dragon Quest game, like they did with Pokemon designs at the very start. 👌

Dunkey is a parent now so he has to carry on the proud tradition of dads calling every Pokémon Pikachu
Or he could go extra hard and call them a Digiman.
Also gotta call it Pokéman
Pokey mans
Except ho-ho lmao
My dad learned rattata and that was it.
This looks cool, they could make a game where these characters fight and go on crazy adventures
Pokemon Fun-geon? im sure a better name could be thought up but this is where im at on this developmental journey
That's called poképark and there are 2 of them
@cla@clashtwo5066 joke needs some work conceptually, you’re asking us to believe that you somehow thought of “fun-geon” while completely missing “dungeon”
@congealedbox7854 im glad you also enjoy sarcasm, fellow Pokemon Mystery Dungeon enjoyer
@clashtwo5066FUshigi no DuNGEON
I really enjoyed Pokopia in the 90 odd minutes I played it before my wife violently wrestled the Switch 2 from my hands and rubbed dirt in my eyes. I haven’t seen either of them since 🤷
Your eyes?
@Dagon_is_Dead-bw2vb yep... his EYES
Is your wife Bully Maguire?
Might be because of the dirt in your eyes 🤔
Those indeed must have been some odd minutes
I like how you can tell Dunkey went in expecting the game to be trash but then started actually enjoying it as it went on
Me to the alt femboy next door
@dendenseee Le epic reddit type comment
@dendenseee. please go outside and talk to real people. The internet has damaged your mind.
I think if he didn't enjoy it, Leah would have pulled out a gun and shot him
@HazeLmao stop taking things too seriously on the internet bro
After 30 years, TPC finally figured out to make the best Pokemon game they had to nuke Kanto into ruin.
Respect kanto lil git
LMAO
You play with humans in pokopia 6 last part in the year 2038.
what they actually figured out was to let someone besides game freak develop it
Koei Tecmo is behind this one
Dunkey is the first person I've seen just play as ditto color and it just makes everything slightly sillier lol
connoreatspants
Fr, had no idea that was an option
@gaztikv when youre on the character selection screen its the default option you start with
0:39 is indeed made sillier when tangrowth doesn't point out the purple (which dunkey comments on)
@Mayochup191 ah ok, had no idea that was the default option i've never plaued the game
I thought this would be another strand-type game cash grab. But then I saw the bean mechanics and I'm impressed.
Did you see the jump rope? That was a kind of strand
Death stranding TOO?
Pikachu
First bean-type game
@veilswishingwhat in the sam hill is a pikachu
Bubble maker, leaf grower and lamp placer may all seem like weak powers, but one must consider that they would be game-breakingly strong if they were available in Balan Wonderworld
GOTY if each Pokémon had a highly choreographed musical theater dance sequence
Bubble maker… hmm.. 🤔
@Shiloh_io wubby7
unironically those sound like Animal Well powerups
Imagine if ZA had these powerups?
a human finally appears 100s of years after the Pokémon thought they were all dead.
he eats a wooden chair and dies. the end.
I own a motorcycle , have an extensive book collection and now I own a switch 2 and only have pokopia. The world is so sunny for me
based comment enjoy an incredible life sir god bless
Keep up the good work
Game is ass
@LeadmetotheBellCurve No
Blisscore funmaxxing
Pokopia is so fun
I loved it when Electabuzz threw Electivire into a volcano as revenge and took over the Mishima Zaibatsu
Tekken?😂
@itsDewie_16 Pokken actually
@joeycampanelli646 smallpox actually
Never let it be lost to history that Pikachu inherited the Mishima Style as seen in Pokken.
Does that mean that Electrivire is compretery dead?
This is the first Viva Pinata-type game we've seen in almost 2 decades
I also thought of Viva Pinata when watching this, loved those games.
Fuck I feel old. They totally ripped off viva piñata
It's dragon quest builders 3 😅
Honestly it reminded me soooo much of MySims
@wusstunes If it was DQ Builders there’d be some actual combat
5:52 my god Magikarp fishing killed me
Rip
The village starved to death :(
sounds like youre one of the fish Magikarp caught
When I started playing this I was like "Damn this is really similar to Dragon Quest Builders" only to discover it was made by the same team, no wonder I love it so much
It says it’s co developed by Game Freak but I suspect GF’s only contribution to development is granting permission to use the Pokémon trademark
@julianbell9161it was developed by gamefreak and koei tecmo whom developed dragon quest builders 2
@julianbell9161 The project was conceived by Mr. Omori of Game Freak.
he has already developed the game’s world setting and art style to a certain extent.
@julianbell9161 If it was GF they'd have the Pokemon stand still and just have emotes be an emoji that pops up over their head
So there's a devteam that does nothing, but pumps out this game with different skins.
Now it kinda makes sense. It looked too decent for a GameFreak game.
You know it's a special game when dunkey actually just plays the game and gives a normal review lol
i can immediately tell this is made by the people behind dragon quest builders
You can also tell it wsn't really made by Game Freak.
@psycholuigiman has gamefreak ever made a spinoff pokemon game? myster dungeons, rangers, etc has always been another studio.
@itsOZonethat’s why they have a chance of being good
@itsOZone Pokopia is listed as being co-developed by both Gamefreak and Koei Tecmo. I call bs and suspect Koei Tecmo did most of the work.
@Þrymskviða You know, I was on the "Gamefreak is probably the problem with pokemon" train for a while, but then they put out that trailer for a new "Beasts of Reincarnation" game that they are working on and it looooooks pretty cool and well made, obviously can't tell until it comes out, but it's made me really reconsider if it's actually just Nintendo wanting low budget cash grab pokemon games because they sell no matter what anyway.....I dunno, food for thought.
Out of all the pokemon he saw he called Ho-oh by it's actual name
"Ho ho"
That’s cuz Ho-oh is awesome
and psyduck
And geodude.
Pokémon Gold is his favorite mainline game tbf.
LET'S GET THIS PLACE HUMID!
I LOVE HOW HUMID THIS PLACE IS!!
YO, WHERE AM I
9:27 That’s a Seattle-style Pikachu. They put mayonnaise on their Pikachus over there. Sickos!
Nintendo perfectly predicted we needed another therapy game during these crazy times
Doing lame tasks is your therapy game. Do you know many people with physical labor jobs?
@mackray7595 Building the best houses for your funny little critters is far from a lame task but I suppose that depends on who you are.
@mackray7595 What is your problem?
I think it’s extremely lazy and overpriced
@BurnAmazonDown it's frustrating after years of the mainline games cutting corners, a random DQB-Pokemon crossover spinoff comes out of nowhere to retroactively make GF feel justified in their previous decisions to not fully commit to their "main" projects. It sends the wrong message when people are apparently willing to shill out $500 for a new console specifically to play an exceedingly "alright" game, when for YEARS fans have been asking for GF to invest even an iota of effort into the mainline games. And to add insult to injury, they had the gall to not give us a physical release of Pokopia.
Now that he’s played this, Dunkey HAS to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Got my wife hello kitty island adventure for her birthday, she now only plays that and now pokopia.
Maybe the island adventure all along is ignoring your loved ones.
Butters loves it
@shrimpmanwhit3621 I KNOW RIGHT?!?!!? i HATE THOSE ISLAND ADVENTURES AAAAAAA
Dunkey wouldn't play it long enough to meet Big Challenges, though, which is the part I'd want to see his reaction to
@shrimpmanwhit3621idk, man, we all sit around and watch my wife play, and look up facts about the characters and stuff on the wiki. It's a whole group activity
this game makes you really feel like youre an amorphous blob of purple sludge that can transform into literally any single creature ever...
I personally think they could've done better on that front.
Us dittos finally feel included. Thank you, Nintendo!❤
@stillnotyourdadI think they could've done better on most fronts.
Pokopia, that's what they called me back in Highschool.
No they didn't
Maybe they did
They called me Pilotwings Resort in high school
They absolutely did
Anywhere's fine
(3:59) *"LOOK AT DIS!! LOOK AT DIS!!"* killed me dead.🤣
So I was going to mention the same thing. Is that the Dunk or is that actually the game. I truly couldn't tell
@JonOfTheDead23😂 it went so well my brain was ready to accept it as part of the game
Everything seems easy until you get to the second location and you start to realize how deep this shit goes haha
No dislikes as always. Donkey is in great shape.
You want me to change that?
Wait till eddie murphy gets here
I dont think you can even see dislikes anymore only the youtuber
@xgoldstarwolfx you can if you have the "Return RUclips dislike" extension. This video has 1 dislike, probably thanks to this comment lol
I always dislike to keep my gamers out of my algorithm
I love these reviews because I’m never able to tell if he likes the game or not and I think that’s pretty funny
id like to imagine he played this with his daughter and just made a bunch of pokemon noises for 90 minues straight
The fact that Dunkey's playing a pokemon game more than 1 day tells you that this is a really good game
@zackmhuntr25 Pretty sure the "days" represent in game days, not literal ones.
No it still takes days to get as far as he did
@TabletopJunkIt uses the system clock to pass time in the game world. Unless he’s changing his clock, he would be playing it multiple days.
4:00 He discovered the new Pokemon, "Lookadis"
pokemon with big fake eyes that compels you to look where they're looking
The real eyes are its nostrils
@oi_bruvthis is that one lizard enemy from elden ring that breaths the fog that kills you instantly that is also the worst enemy in the game that no one likes
Best part of the video lol
7:02 Interestingly, this is his exact complaint about Red Dead Redemption 2 first half vs second half
3:03 this had me rolling
can't wait for dunkopia
Gotta feed the spaghetti and meatballs to BEEEG Yoshi
Dunkey's habitat would just be a copy of Mario Odyssey next to a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs
What happens when he runs out of spaghetti and meatballs
@gonderagehe eats the Mario odyssey
@noheffthing Super Mario Bros. 2 gives him +30% Slickness
Finally, a competent Strandopia-type game
2:51 absolute peak reference to RUclips
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one fucking up on that jump rope game.
From all the footage of it I've seen, it goes faster on the upswing and then slows down on the downswing, which is the opposite of how gravity or a real jump rope works. I'm 100% convinced I'm going to fail it too for that exact reason.
Having Ditto as a protagonist is actually a really good idea for a story
2:09 That fade out actually scared me, I've never seen this transition in a Dunkey video before. It's always just an immediate cut.
It was a quick fade transition for us, but for Dunkey, days went by between those two clips. Now that he has discovered Pokopia, Dunkey is no longer shackled by linear time. Pokopia has taken him. Pokopia is infinite, Pokopia is all.
The world’s first blob-type game
But...
De Blob & De Blob 2...
...Except for Animal Well. XD
Bloblike
This game really makes you FEEL like Mokujin from Tekken Tag 2, as you use characters iconic moves in ways that they couldn't by using his static height
Dude, that's what I was gonna say!
0:12 That's exactly what happens to me when I play this game. But not in a bad "this game is so boring it puts me to sleep" way, rather in a good "this game is so cozy it cured my insomnia" way. 10/10 game, would nap again.
The obsession with “cozy” is so weird.
@Conradlovesjoythere are too many cozy games that lack unique design and interesting gameplay, but its not that weird. its just the opposite of the obessession with competitive gaming
2:08 was that a cross dissolve??? i been watching dunkey since like 2015 and never seen this man use a cross dissolve before
I was finna say the same thing😭
Jumpscare type editing
Took me by surprise, too.
@kincsojohow so?
@LuisAlvarez-mm5ohI think he said something about getting an editor a while back.
2:37 "Chairs are NOT your dinner." - Will Smith
Dunkeys voice sounded like it ACTUALLY GOT LEGIT ENAMOURED like for the first time ever. That tells me stuff.
5:17 squirtle made the ishowspeed face lmao
My trainer is kinda homeless
6:28, I wonder if the Pokopia devs played Terra Nil.
You know these types of games are good when Leah isn't holding a gun to dunkey's head to make a video
3:37 after Dunkey’s harrowing experience in Shield, he forgot what Combee was. Unfortunately, this one can also evolve.
Pokopia really makes you FEEL like Reggie blessed us with an actual good Pokemon game.
The Balan-like animations when you unlock a new ability really bring this game together.
7:53 Beans?! Now theres a happy sight.
@3:15, I was fully expecting the end result paired with "The environment is really declining here...but health and safety are at an all time high!"
I have a big exam I'm studying for that I'm taking in the first week of April. My reward once I finish it will be Pokopia
Good luck and great discipline!
good luck with the exam
This just proves that the biggest thing wrong with Pokemon games is Game Freak. 😂
Hey, it’s hard being a small indie studio where your only source of income is the highest grossing franchise in all of media in human history
Hey, i’m not a drone, I’ve been complaining about the drop in quality Pokémon has seen since well before Gen 8 was even announced, but I think it’s only fair we acknowledge that game freak actually did develop this game, in partnership with omega force.

Leave it to Pokemon fans to hype up literally anything as long as their favorite toys are plastered over it.
Viva Piñata called, they want their MySims back.
The first Tekken-type game. Amazing
I'm so glad to see Dunkey teasing the Tekken Tag video that we've all been waiting for
5:40 He must want to kill Chaos.
Chaos
This feels like if animal crossing, minecraft, and pokemon had a baby and then let that baby eat a chair.
Charmander lights a fire, Bulbasaur waters plants... In a teeny tiny environment. This is just Palworld but smaller xDDDDDDDDDDDD and without extreme violence and guns.
"His arms turned leaf!" what a poet
Ah Polytopia. That's a fun strategy game to play on the go! Used to play with my buds on the bus.
oh, minecrap!
4:09 Squirtle learned how to gift random objects it picked up off the ground too!
I was pleasantly surprised with pokopia, its very simplistic and a wonderful stress reliever
6:01 every FFIX player just had a heart attack
man the tekken music takes me back. thanks dunkey
4:36 THE REAL PIKACHU VOICE ACTOR WHAA? Dunkey's really moving up in the world .
Squirtle is a kinkster, "spit on me, its the only way I feel alive."
Genuinely though, I really do enjoy watching gameplay for Pokopia, it's very clever.
1:01 "we gotta light his tail on fire" made me laugh unreasonably hard
pokopedia is actually a pretty good name for that ngl
2:02 " I just found it on the floor."
I actually got really invested into your gameplay of the game. I'm also not a tree cutter type so it surprised me too
Didn't expect them to add Pokemon to Dragon Quest Builders 3. I can't wait to see when Funghoul gets more involved in the story.
Another slick type game showcasing the slickness of the slick type Pokopia slick type game
Wow, Dragon Quest Builders 3 is looking very monster-based this time around. I'm so glad Nintendo didn't directly lift and infringe on yet another Dragon Quest game, like they did with Pokemon designs at the very start. 👌
Dunkey has a Knack for pokepedia, pokedex lore.
Hey hey people, dunkey here
LMAOOO
Ssethzentach? Is Dunkey also just another one of Mandalor's personalities?
hey hay people, horse here
the audio design would make winslow proud
This reminds me of the time me and pikachu had to share a bed at ditto’s house
2:56 absolute peak mentioned
"Do you remember what your trainer looked like?"
Is a creative way of asking "Are you a Type 1 body, or Type 2 body?"
Pokopia looks very much like a strand type game
5:25 this is one of the best video game OSTs of all time.
Round 1! FIGHT!
They've taken Dragon Quest Builders and Animal Crossing, mushed them together, and put it in a Pokémon costume.
Nintendo really went “how can we get pokemon people to play animal crossing?” And made this game
7:00 Dunkey just turns into white Cleveland for no reason.
Ordered a switch 2 like 30 minutes ago and had the idea to buy pokopia. Amazing timing.
4:00 me when I find new vocal tics
Pokopia is basically the Pokemon version of Animal Crossing.
This feels like a return to form
the constant tekken tag references are sending me
*Having played both Dragon Quest Builders and Animal Crossing, this is defiantly a completely new fresh bold idea from Reggie*
Cant wait for Dunkeys review of "Pikmon"
Based on name was disappointed it wasn't pikmin but pokemon.
>charmander tries to light bulbasaur’s ass up
>misses
>immediately falls asleep
Absolute cinema
"That's floor sh*t"
"Diglet"
“and then theres pikachu”
"Everyone knows pikachu"
Simple eyes, you should never go Full Ditto
I'm convinced he could be a voice actor. So funny when he reads the dialog
building feels like a chore to me. I'd rather play some actual fun relaxing game.
3:27 I had no idea this was a sequel to dark souls
"First impression of this new content is mostly tedious"
