I knew I was going to love Pokémon Pokopia the moment I pressed the shoulder button and – instead of whipping out a watering can, like you usually would in these kind of games – I opened my mouth wide and vomited a stream of water onto the floor. Pokopia might share its DNA with the Animal Crossings, the Minecrafts, the Stardew Valleys, even the Viva Piñatas of this world, but there’s a wonderful, weirdly subversive streak that I’m finding utterly irresistible so far.
