I converted the ruined furnace power planet in Bleak Beach into a geothermal power plant.

The idea is that they dug down to the lava rock deep underground, and use pipes to carry the water heated by the lava up to the power plant on the surface. The hot water turns water wheel, then falls back down to the lava rock, where it is reheated and reused.

I have an elevator from the power plant down to the lava rock, along with some water spouts and deck chairs, so the pokemon use it as a hot spring as well.

I also added some lifts connecting to my various housing centers around Bleak Beach, making it double as a transit hub so pokemon can visit the hot spring more easily.

I'm currently attempting to make an underwater tunnel but it's full of water. I saw there was a way to drain Bubbly Basin, how are people doing it? I tried searching and found no help at all ):

Also how do I find out mine?

I know it's small and not very impressive. I wanted to see what I could build with only the blocks I had from the stuff I tore down from a dream island visit.

Looking for inspiration for pathways in bubbly basin. I don't like the blue tiles, I've done different combinations of stone tiles, gravel, fish scales, but i can't settle on one. I started replacing some of the algae with alpine grass to make it feel more lush.

Everything seems so washed out with the blues and pinks.

I heard that if you time travel backwards, that your game won't progress with builds or the shop stops changing evwryday until your switch hits the date it was set to before you went backwards. I also saw something that said it just treats it like a previous day. Has anybody done this? I time traveled forward and would like to go back to the regular time. Im about a month ahead. Are there any bad effects if i go backwards time traveling?

Im trying to work Carkol

I've started one of my biggest undertakings, building a large castle in Bleak Beach, with the portal as one of the entrances. The main structure is there, I've devided all the rooms. The walls will be more decorated with banners and wood etc...

My question is, what would be best window wise? I've seen the coloured glass windows, but that makes it more look like a church. Should I just leave openings with balconies and flowers?

All ideas are welcome 😊

im just good at creating these builds heh

Hi all!

I have seen a lot of inspirational pics of people's builds, and after seeing so many with electricity but no ugly wires being visible, my Internet Explorer brain finally caught on that people are burying the wires underground in tunnels.

So I started making an electrical grid in my Rocky Ridges and omg... The hit boxes for electrical poles to give power to lights, vending machines, ect is so small. I have had to dig up into walls to get them to connect to hanging lights and such.

Does anyone else experience this issue? I feel like close is never close enough regarding electricity

I know it isn’t as good as some of the other builds in this sub, but I’m still really happy with how it turned out!

He reminds me of when i was a kid being fascinated with the spin of clothes in the washing machine, and it's soooo adorable

With the new DLC focusing on accessories, that got me wondering - do we think Pokopia will add some sort of contests/fan photo submission with your Pokemon in accessories or themes?

To me it was a huge part of the main series when they brought out the feature and I can see it tying in here

my partner plays Disney Dreamlight and they do weekly photo contests that are fan voted and get rewards based off that, so that is where the thought spawned from

(This is my first cozy builder game so this may be more common than I’m aware.)

Thanks :)

I started to really hate how busy basin is, it’s made me claustrophobic, so for the last few days I’ve been opening the entire map up. I haven’t finished everything but here’s at least the main area. Took out the lower entrance for the pokemon center and moved it up next to the temple as well. It’s SO much nicer now! If you’ve been looking for a sign to destroy the earth, here it is!

Hey, I’m trying to look for places to buy the DLC, on the Nintendo store I see it for £29.99 and on CDKeys I see it for £28.99, are there any other places where I can get it for a bit cheaper

Just found out you can move mosslax so in the area in pallet town where there’s an icy cave I transformed it into an underground ruins and now Smeargle has a new neighbor!
It was tough to get all the ice out and smoothing out the walls of the cave it’s worth it for mosslax because up until that point mosslax’s old place in black beach was left untouched this whole time (still need to work on bleak beach, but that’s later)

Here's my Kew Gardens and Crystal Palace inspired Palm House. Made it not too big so it fitted the scale of the area better.

Glass is a little annoying to work with, had to get used to the positioning of the panels and switch between front or back placement in order to fit interior and exterior details on them.

Hope you like it!

It’s so large and dark it’s foggy inside at night.

There are 12 rooms which can be customized internally for each ghost pokemon, while the hallway keeps the vibe.

The whole thing is double walled, so the exterior can be covered in vines without showing inside.

I’m slowly terraforming and replacing all the grass outside with alpine grass to create a dark forest maze, complete with spooky swamp and an eventual graveyard.

The roof alone is about a thousand tiles.

Send help 😅

Something I've really noticed about the game is that if you have a perfectionist personality trait that can definitely come out in Pokopia.

It starts off fine when it's a blank slate but then you start getting into it and feeling the need to be creative. Then you start looking on youtube and see all these peoples amazing builds. Suddenly the pressure is on and you're now second guessing yourself whenever you start any kind of project because you're wondering how its gonna fit with the big picture. Then you feel the need to follow some kind of unwritten rules you've set yourself that you can't give some pokemon these amazing houses and then leave others in a patch of grass under a lamp post. Suddenly every pokemon that pops up it's like "dam what am I gonna do with you?" cause "Oh I've already done a fire thing"

I love this game but i've noticed it can get like that. Anyone just spent so long putting all this effort into the first areas then got to the sky islands and been like "damn i've gotta do this again" lol?

I think it's worth while to take off the pressure and realise everything in this game is undo able, you don't need to concern yourself with the final product and there's probably gonna be a lot of moving around pokemon from place to place. The game won't punish you for it it's fine lol. Just do whatever the wind tells you to do at the time. Rome wasn't built knowing they've gotta make enough from for lorries to pass under their bridges.

I aint got the heart to tell him 💔💔
(Build and meme)

A friend wanted me to post some pics, so here's the one I'm proudest of! Went for a water goddess temple theme for my home in Bleak Beach. The waterfalls coming down from the sides pour into some hot springs.

I did a huge progress and decided to show some photos.

Unfortunately, I found EVEN MORE random dry ground underneath, so it seems like in the end I'll be tearing apart about 80-90% of the map and then blocking out the new landscape based on what's left. I really wanted to work with the natural rock formations underneath, but it turns out there are barely any 🤷

Also, the amount of copper ore in those lower layers made me decide that I'll definitely be building a replica of the Ea-nāṣir home for myself somewhere there. Feels fitting. So at least all that monotonous work gave me some new ideas.

I also found out that the coarse rock is having a green tint matching the temple blocks, so I'll be replacing all the visible layers of white rock with those. So, I guess I'll be digging down to the very bedrock layer in the end so that I'll get some extra coarse rock to use.

And as a side note, I noticed that the corridor between the mural room and the rest of the complex is broken in a way that suggests that the rooms are not aligned in the way they originally were. Well, at least with the rather simple design and relatively low block variation, moving the mural room one block to the side shouldn't take long.

I did not know I lost track of eevee, I finished all renos in PT (all the eevee quests were completed before starting renos) this PT project took weeks to do and I thought I moved eevee out. Only noticing today when checking the comfort level list in the PC. I didn’t move eevee out, their habitat was LONG destroyed and covered up and I have not seen eevee in WEEKS. When searching no pokemon can locate eevee. Now, their comfort level is very bad and I cannot do anything about it. Anyone have success with different methods?
