Shape the world and build a cosy new life with Pokémon

Ditto's transformed into a human! Their small eyes and wide smile still look a lot like Ditto.

Ditto is an adorable purple Pokémon with small dots for eyes and a wide thin smile.

Play as a Ditto and build a new life with Pokémon—from the ground up!

With help from your Pokémon friends, rebuild a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time.

Professor Tangrowth has a broken pair of glasses, a stick, and a CD on their head.

Pokémon and people once lived happily together, but the world has withered and the humans are gone. The only remaining resident is a lone Tangrowth, living alone in the wasteland.

After waking from a long slumber,a peculiar Ditto decides to restore the desolate land using its transformation skills and its surprising new crafting abilities.
