How does multiplayer in Pokémon Pokopia work?
Pokémon Pokopia allows players to play with upto three other friends in multiple different ways.
You can invite other players into your world. By doing this, they can help you develop your version of Palette Town, the sandbox area of the game.
They can also visit the other regions in Pokopia, but they can’t help build outside of Palett Town
If you or your friend encounters a Pokémon that you’ve not encountered, you can use a Star Piece to give to that Pokémon, and it will appear back in your version of the world.
Similarly, you can visit your friend’s islands and help them to develop their own world, again, as long as it’s Pallet Town
The third option is to play on a Cloud Island. This is a persistent island between you and your friends that can be played even when the host isn’t available, or even when playing the game. While you can’t bring things from your Cloud Island back to the main game, any recipes you learn in the Cloud Island will still be learned when you return to your own game.
