Pokémon Pokopia’s Bubbly Basin DLC adds aquatic Pokémon and underwater areas

Pokémon Pokopia, a cozy life-sim on Nintendo Switch 2, has long lacked fish and underwater Pokémon because most gameplay centers on building structures on dry land. The new Bubbly Basin DLC introduces aquatic areas and additional fish/underwater critters to expand the game’s Pokédex. This update addresses a major player complaint and increases biodiversity and exploration options within the game’s life-sim systems.

• Pokémon Pokopia is a Nintendo Switch 2 cozy life-sim focused on cleaning destroyed towns, creating habitats, and encountering familiar monsters in new ways.
• The base game’s Pokédex was light on fish and underwater critters because so much of the gameplay centers on building on dry land.
• The Bubbly Basin DLC adds aquatic areas and additional fish/underwater Pokémon to the game’s content.
• The DLC directly responds to a frequent criticism by increasing biodiversity and giving players new exploration and collection targets.
