  "account": "Pokémon Pokopia, the innovative Nintendo Switch 2 game that has players interacting with Pokémon rather than capturing and battling them, received a new DLC expansion over the summer. The game has already made waves, and 2026 promises even more DLC. Recently, dataminers have uncovered 25 Pokémon not currently present in the game but found in the game's files. Old-school bugs like Caterpie and starters like Turtwig and Fennekin are among them. While the mere discovery of these Pokémon does not guarantee their inclusion, if all of them are added, a third expansion could be on the horizon by 2027. The datamining also suggests a Dipplin and Hydrapple-themed event before the release of the second DLC. Pokémon Pokopia has been a hit with themed events, such as the Jirachi event and Dipplin and Hydrapple-themed events, which align well with autumn's peak apple pie season. There are also indications of Christmas and New Year's events in the DLC. The most intriguing speculation is the introduction of a new Alcremie character, akin to the base game's Snorlax but with moss growing over it. As of now, the Pokémon Company and Nintendo have not confirmed the specifics of Pokémon Pokopia's next DLC. Until then, fans are left to imagine Hydrapple pie on their minds. Pokémon Pokopia is available exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.",
