Pokemon Pokopia may have a larger post-launch map planned if details reportedly pulled from older Game Freak planning documents still reflect the Nintendo Switch 2 game's roadmap. The claim centers on five possible DLC biomes, all apparently tied to familiar Kanto landmarks.
The reported list should be treated as unconfirmed. The leak-focused report says the information comes through Centro Leaks and the broader Teraleak 2 material, which included Game Freak documents from 2024. Plans can change during development, and Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, Game Freak and Koei Tecmo have not announced paid or free DLC biomes for Pokemon Pokopia.
Five Kanto-inspired areas are reportedly planned
The claimed DLC lineup includes a permanently burning forest filled with ash, a flooded city with hidden treasure, a dead volcanic island, a decaying tower reaching into the sky and a giant crater in the Celadon area. The report frames those areas as riffs on Viridian City and Viridian Forest, Cerulean City, Cinnabar Island, Lavender Town and Celadon.
That would fit the structure Pokemon Pokopia already uses. The Switch 2 exclusive sends Ditto into a withered world and asks players to rebuild it by crafting, growing crops, helping Pokemon and using learned Pokemon moves to reshape the land. Nintendo's store page describes the game as a relaxing life sim where Ditto can learn abilities such as Bulbasaur's Leafage, Lapras's Surf and Dragonite's Glide while restoring the world.
The Kanto connection is also not coming out of nowhere. The current game already includes areas based on recognizable Kanto locations, including Fuchsia City, Vermilion City, Pewter City and Saffron City, according to the report. If the leaked plans are accurate, future biomes would continue that tour through a stranger, life-sim version of the original Pokemon region instead of sending the game into a completely separate setting.
Pokopia is already being supported through events
Official support for Pokemon Pokopia has so far been easier to track through limited-time events. Nintendo recently announced Sableye's Gem Hunt, which runs from April 29 at 5:00 a.m. until May 14 at 4:59 a.m. local time. During the event, players can befriend Sableye, collect red crystal fragments on Dream Islands and trade those fragments for building kits, furniture and other gemstone-hunting items.
That event cadence is different from a full biome rollout, but it does show how Pokopia is being kept active after launch. New locations would be a larger step because they could expand the map, add more Pokemon interactions and potentially give players new crafting or traversal goals.
The leak does not confirm when the reported DLC would be announced or released. Until official details arrive, the claim is best read narrowly: Pokemon Pokopia may be planned for a broader post-launch expansion path, and the rumored next stops all lean heavily on Kanto nostalgia.
