This means that even if players don’t own an actual copy of Pokopia, they can still be invited by friends to visit islands. Of course, both players will need to have a Nintendo Switch Online Membership. If you don’t have an online membership, the Pokopia will additionaly will have a local multiplayer mode. Even locally, the visitor will still be able to customize the environment, craft materials, and more.

“A pale Pikachu whose fur is a mysterious color. Its drooping ears somehow make it seem a little feeble.”
“Moss has grown all over this Snorlax’s body, and it looks like a flower is blooming atop its head. It must have been asleep for a really long time…”
“A Smeargle with vibrant colors splattered across its body, it goes by the name Smearguru. When it uses its tail as a brush, it almost looks like a painter!”
