Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a> has been available on the Switch 2 for over a week now, and if you’re still getting your head around the basics (or haven’t got the game just yet), this quick and easy tutorial about how to make a ‘real’ house for you or your Pok\u00e9mon offers some handy advice.<\/p>\n

We’re not referring to assembly kits here – we’re talking about your very own custom-made house from the floor to the roof.<\/p>\n

So, what will it take to get the job done? As our senior video producer Alex Olney explains in the short and simple video above (note: there are some minor gameplay and environmental spoilers), all you’ll need is a door and some connected blocks to get the game to register an “empty house”.<\/p>\n

The walls only need to be one block in height, and you’ll need some floor space, but you don’t even need a roof. And that’s it! Just remember, if you remove any blocks, you’ll need to add them back to ensure the build is classed as a home.<\/p>\n

After the building phase is complete, you can furnish the space to fulfil the living requirements (that’s three items of furniture for a Pok\u00e9mon, or a Ditto Flag to make it your home), and you’re good to go!<\/p>\n

If you want to learn more about Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia and how it works, or are just finding the whole thing a tad overwhelming with everything on offer, be sure to check our extensive list of guides here on Nintendo Life<\/a>. We’ve got tips, the game’s Pok\u00e9dex, details about the habitats, and much more.<\/p>\n
