Pokopia Player Builds Perfect Replica of Ash Ketchum’s House

A Pokemon Pokopia player has recreated Ash Ketchum’s childhood home from the Pokemon anime series. Since its launch in early March, the cozy life simulation spin-off has quickly become a hit, even surpassing 2.2 million copies sold in mere days. Over the past few weeks, Pokemon Pokopia fans have been pushing the limits of its world-building features and sharing their incredible builds with the community. The game already has a few nods to other Pokemon games, but some players enjoy adding their own references to the franchise through their Pokopia creations.

There are quite a few easter eggs in Pokemon Pokopia that allude to the mainline games, such as an abandoned Team Rocket base or the remnants of the S.S. Anne. Many of Ditto’s outfits and hairstyles also reference several characters from the franchise, such as Ethan, Leaf, and Red. However, one iconic Pokemon protagonist missing in Pokemon Pokopia is Ash Ketchum. Though the character is exclusive to the animated series, he is still a fan-favorite among players. One Pokopia fan decided to pay homage to Ash by recreating his house in the life-sim title.

Pokemon Pokopia Player Builds Ash Ketchum’s Home

Reddit user LeslieLevi has built Ash Ketchum’s childhood house in Pokemon Pokopia, and the resemblance to the anime show is uncanny. The fan used shots from the series to recreate the home in incredible detail, including an inside look at Ash’s bedroom. The build includes a full garden, roof tiles, and dormer windows. Ash’s room even features his wall calendar, laptop, and TV screen. The fan took some liberties decorating other rooms, like the kitchen or living room, as not all are shown in the anime. LeslieLevi explained that they named their Ditto “Red,” like in the mainline games. And since Ash Ketchum is inspired by Red, they saw it fitting to build Ash’s house as their base on their Cloud Island.

The post currently sits at 1.6K upvotes, and other users have praised the design’s thoroughness. To tie in the references to Ash Ketchum’s childhood, the player let Mr. Mime move into the house, and they’re debating whether to add Pikachu as well. In the comment section, fellow fans advised LeslieLevi to paint the roof a different shade of red. The original poster followed the suggestions, and the result was an even closer rendition of Ash’s home. LeaslieLevi explained that they chose to build Ash’s home in their Pokemon Pokopia‘s Cloud Island to allow other players to visit it in the future.

In Pokopia, Cloud Islands is a multiplayer option that lets fans start 4-player sessions to build together in a world separate from the main game. Fans can also open their Cloud Islands to the public. It’s not the only co-op feature in the game, though. Pokemon Pokopia‘s Palette Town area offers GameShare, which allows fans to play with other Nintendo Switch 1 or 2 users, even if the guest doesn’t own the game. Coincidentally, Palette Town is Ash Ketchum’s hometown in Kanto, so players looking to recreate the character’s adventures could turn to this area.

Pokemon Pokopia has been out for almost one month, and the hype for the game keeps on steadily increasing. Soon after it launched, the game hosted its first limited event featuring Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff. Pokemon Pokopia has already announced its next event, though it won’t center around befriending new Pokemon. Instead, participating in the April Fool’s event will grant gamers an inflatable Sudowoodo decoration. The development team has pledged to continue improving Pokemon Pokopia in the coming months, so there’s a chance that more exciting events could come with later updates.
