The Complete List of Pokémon Added in Pokémon Pokopia DLC Part 1: Bubbly Basin.
It's a bit disappointing that no Legendary Pokémon were added in this DLC. Hopefully they'll save them for future updates.
I have compiled the largest, most comprehensive list of upcoming open world Gacha games - 19 in total, for you to look forward to. These games could potentially rival Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, Neverness to Everness or Arknights Endfield, and have either Gacha characters, or Gacha cosmetics.

GET READY! 2026-2027 IS ABOUT TO GO HARD!
GameFreak did it AGAIN
>horrible optimisation
>terrible story pacing
>riddled with glitches and bugs
>smudgy blurry Unreal Engine 5 graphics
>OST is literally a single lofi track on loop
>3 enemy types IN THE ENTIRE GAME
>all weapons are the same besides a tiny passive effect that is triggered by parrying
>equipment doesnt change your looks at all
>there is only ONE execution animation in the entire game
>jumping and looting SHARES THE SAME BUTTON
>no actual tutorial for half the mechanics
>99% of exploration rewards you with useless resources so you can make food that grants you like 0.0001% stat increases
>the only customization is adjusting your companion's abilities and the types of arrows on your bows
>crouching locks you out of any action for a second and is too easy to trigger
>everything comes with an animation lock so the combat is janky
The only positive i can think of here is that the gameplay and art direction is not horrible although it tries to go for a Nier automata/ Stellar Blade world but does it worse and the gameplay is Stellar Blade with even more stiff controls somehow. The music is okay even if its beasically the same track repeating itself
What a fucking mess, Beast of Reincarnation might be my worst game of the year despite the fact i had high hopes for it. I guess the lack of talent carried over to outside of pokemon
