In this title, you play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human.
Craft items using materials such as wood and stones, collect Berries to share with Pokémon, and create a cozy place for everyone to live.
Ditto is a Pokémon that excels at transforming.
Ditto, having transformed to look like a human, will learn moves from Pokémon they encounter, steadily expanding their own capabilities.
You can use Leafage, learned from Bulbasaur, to add more greenery and Water Gun, learned from Squirtle, to water plants that have dried up.
A lush, comfortable area to live is sure to attract a variety of Pokémon.

The time in-game is linked to real-world time.
Experience a relaxing life complete with changes in weather alongside a variety of unique Pokémon who live around you.
Collecting rocks and wood, building furniture, growing vegetables in fields you’ve tilled, building houses for Pokémon...
The list of things you can do goes on and on.
After a while, you can build a big town of your own and invite Pokémon and even other players to visit!
Even more excitement awaits.
Today we’ve introduced just a few of the ways you can play in this title. We hope you look forward to future announcements!
