🫧 Bubbly Basin 🫧 🎨 Smearguru's Summer Canvas: Deadline Extension, Community Voting, and Updated Prizes!

10 Upvotes

Happy Saturday, fellow Dittos!

As you've hopefully seen, r/Pokopia and our sister Discord server, Pokopia Island, have been running a summer art contest for Pokopia fans! I'm here with an update from the Discord Event Team.

The Smearguru's Summer Canvas Art Contest will have a Google Form showcasing the submissions so that you, the community, can vote on your favorites! The form will go live and be shared in the Discord server on Monday, August 31, 2026 at 1:00 AM ET (click here to see in your time zone). I will also update this post with the link to the voting form later that morning. As we hit a bit of a delay, the deadline to submit your art has been extended until this time! You've got one more weekend to show us your best artwork of the ideal beach or summer getaway with your Pokémon.

Click here to submit your work! As a reminder, the rules are as follows:

  1. Follow the theme. Your artwork must depict a beach- or summer-themed scene, featuring at least one Pokémon.
  2. Original, human-made artwork only. AI-generated or AI-assisted artwork is not permitted. Any entry found to contain generative AI content will be disqualified. Participants may be asked to provide sketches, process images, layer files, or other evidence confirming that the artwork is their own.
  3. Digital and traditional artwork are both welcome. Artwork may be created digitally or using physical media. Traditional artwork should be submitted as a clear, well-lit photograph or scan.
  4. One active entry per person. Each participant may only have one active submission. Re-submissions are permitted until the deadline, but the new submission must be identified as a re-submission, and the previous entry must be withdrawn or deleted.
  5. Make it personal. All submissions must be original work created by the participant. Artwork copied, traced, or taken from Google, social media, or another artist will not be accepted.

🏆 Prizes

In our original post, we told you all that the winner of the community vote would receive a Grand Prize of a download code for the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, with the others in the top 10 getting entered into a lottery for a Bubbly Basin download code. However, it came to our attention that it is not possible to purchase or gift just the Bubbly Basin DLC on its own—not to mention, many of you already purchased the Expansion Pass yourselves. As such, and to show our appreciation, the Event Team is upgrading the prizes!

  • The Winner of the Art Contest will now receive a $50 Nintendo eShop gift card in the region tied to their eShop account—enough to buy the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, plus $15-worth of additional purchases of your choosing!
  • ALL entries will be entered into the raffle for a $25 Nintendo eShop gift card in the region tied to their eShop account.

Thank you for all the great submissions you've put in already. We will keep you guys updated next week!

  • The r/Pokopia Mod Team & the Pokopia Island Event Team

I was sat in the car waiting for my partner and was playing pokopia...i looked up and this was right infront of me. I laughed so hard as I literally just ran out of bricks I was building with and had to use others temporarily.

I guess this building owner did the same!

I raised the sunken walkway and house to make it even with the original house and it looks so awkward. It just ends at the bridge. It makes no sense.

So I was digging up a relic today in Bubbling Basin and it told me to quickly splash water on it or it would explode? Not a big deal just a bit of a funny oversight.

After having played through Scarlet & Violet, I was *genuinely* happy and surprised to see that they took the advertisement images from the Billboards in game and ported them over to Pokopia. ❤️

I was hit with some nostalgia from my Violet playthrough. It made me all happy. 😌

Still have two more days to try, but I found it funny that I got — one right after another – Mewtwo, Mew, Zapdos, Moltres, and… ZAPDOS?! I thought for sure Articuno would make an appearance. How rude. 😭

Discussion Just got to second area… shocked to discover that…

219 Upvotes

I guess i only played with the one storage box in the first location so this never crossed my mind. There is no global storage?!? Get to the second area and go to access my storage and turns out you have to fast travel back to the other area to go get your stuff?!?

I guess they want it to be realistic, but this is a LOT of extra loading screens all the time having to warp around to pick stuff up that i need for new quests. Is this a problem for other people or do you just suck it up and accept the load screens

EDIT:
Got so many helpful replies, really appreciate it! Super nice community you guys have here it seems 😅

So the main points I’m taking away:

  1. grab the DLC and get access to some item/features that alleviate some of this stress or tediousness if you want to call it that.
  2. embrace the fact that we are just going to have to stay organized. Sounds like the way to go is to have a whole bunch of storage chests centralized in each area, but to be specific about the TYPE of item that goes in each chest.
  3. so on that note i guess I’m going to take a moment to set up the following in my first two areas:

-crafting materials
-household items (decorations and furniture)
- building blocks
- misc items i don’t know what to do with yet, and maybe seeds and flowers and food all together in one chest

Im constructing a Gym and Theme Park and I built this rollercoaster and quite proud of it. I was also thinking of encasing the coaster in a glass shell inside the Gym to "protect" the riders from Battle attacks haha. What are your thoughts? Please excuse the power pole mess above the gym xD

Pokopia News New island for Worlds!

I didn’t see any posts about this scrolling so hopefully this is news, but I saw this posted on the official Pokemon YouTube channel as a community post, so I thought I should share it here in case anyone hasn’t seen it. Love that they’re thinking of this game with worlds too!

Edit: In case you don’t know, it’s accessible with the mysterious goggles item! You just enter the code one you use the item.

Designs & Builds Thought I'd share this idea that I had to make a recipe room

Thumbnail
gallery
1.3k Upvotes

It's nothing crazy but I took the time to build out a food storage area as I was sick of googling one every time, on the walls I've colour coded recipes into different categories using the frames as such:

Dry - Dark blue

Bitter- orange

Sour - yellow

Spicy - red

Pink - sweet

If no particular colour then its just regular no flavour.

Purple - for what pokemon is required to make the specialty item, I used wood for chop, rock for crush ability, water amulet for water, light for electricity, green cube for recycle, flame orb for fire and firework for explode which is new.

The walls are coloured to represent what is is so

salad= green

Yellow = bread

Red= burgers

Blue = soup

So I can mass produce recipes and store them away for when I'm giving pokemon their favourite food I can just easily grab it from one of the storage boxes in the middle.

Designs & Builds Echo Ridge from Megaman Starforce

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Story time! I love Megaman. Megaman X was the first game I ever owned. Unrelated to that fact, I also name all my Pokemon whenever I play the games. My Ditto has been named Echo since Gen 2, so of course I named my Ditto in Pokopia that as well. Anyway, when I found Pallet Town, I chose to name it Echo Ridge, a cheeky reference to both my Ditto, and the home town of the protagonist of MMSF, Geo Stelar. And then, I felt the stupid urge to actually remake Echo Ridge. This is the result! I think it turned out pretty good.

Completely accidental I found this gate in Sparkling Skylands. Was just getting rid of some rusted blocks.

When I try to open it, it says i need to complete my pokedex first. It was so well hidden so i wouldn't be the only one who didn't know this gate existed. Did anyone actually open it and what's behind it?

Discussion Next abilities?

13 Upvotes

Do we know of any future abilities that will come with the next DLC updates? Or what is an ability you’d like to see?

I was just thinking it would be cool to have an entropy ability that could change blocks into their weathered form. Maybe an enhancement of water gun, since water relates to erosion and such.

I built him this nice hot spring and since it’s outside used the “Tantalizing dining set” as a habitat. Since then he stopped littering squishy clay. Also tried using the water spout as a habitat but it doesn't work either. What could be the problem?
