The delightfully successful Pokémon Pokopia has received its 2.0 update, adding, among other things, a decent chunk of new gameplay related to water.
The list of changes is, in general, quite extensive, so we’ll highlight only a few elements from each section, quoting verbatim.
Select new features:
- Added the move Dive, allowing players to move freely underwater.
- The Build specialty can now be used to build houses underwater.
- Added a function to move items in bulk between the storage box and bag.
- Added the ability to fine-tune depth placement when placing windows, doors, and similar items.
- Added motion-sickness reduction settings for the camera.
Select improvements to existing features:
- Even if a Pokémon’s habitat is destroyed, it will move back in if the same habitat is rebuilt within a certain area.
- If a Pokémon being searched for in the Pokédex is in another town, you can now travel to that town using Return Home.
- Lost relics can now be appraised in batches of up to 10 at a time.
- Increased the placement limit for power generators (excluding furnaces) from 64 to 128.
- Improved activation conditions for Surf and Waterfall so they occur more smoothly.
Select issued that have been fixed:
- When talking to a Pokémon that is currently assigned to construct buildings, options such as “Follow me!” may sometimes fail to appear.
- Pokémon may occasionally fall into the ocean or off cliffs when appearing from their habitats.
- Requests from Pokémon may occasionally ask for items that the requesting Pokémon actually dislikes.
- In certain situations, it may be unclear why actions such as building or relocation cannot be performed.
- During the Withered Wasteland request “Clear the path!” Slowpoke may stop moving partway through.
