Pokémon Pokopia's new DLC finally reveals which universe the game is set in
Key Points:
- Pokémon Pokopia is set in a post-human world where Pokémon survive on their own but contains lore collectibles linking it to the broader Pokémon universe.
- The Bubbly Basin DLC reveals Pokopia shares a universe with Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee (LGPE), naming Trace as the Kanto champion and May as the Hoenn champion, new information for the series.
- Collectibles describe Trace's journey to becoming Kanto champion alongside his Marowak, reinforcing the connection between Pokopia and LGPE.
- Similarities between Pokopia and LGPE, such as shared locations and design elements like Vermilion City, have fueled speculation about their shared universe since Pokopia's release.
- This discovery may spark rumors of a potential LGPE sequel set in Hoenn, although Johto might logically come first, with no clear pattern in region selection by The Pokémon Company.
