  "account": "The Pokémon Company and Game Freak have announced the release date for the second part of the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass, titled Dazzling Decorations. This DLC focuses on accessories and adds new cosmetics for Ditto and their Poképals. It includes multiple adorable bows, sunglasses, and other fashion items. The DLC also introduces more creatures to befriend, such as Doduo, Braixen, Skitty, and others yet to be revealed. Players must complete specific quests before starting Dazzling Decorations, such as raising the environment level and rebuilding the Pokémon Center. Dazzling Decorations will be available on December 9, 2026, following the first wave of the Expansion Pass, Bubbly Basin, which was released on August 5, 2026. Bubbly Basin added an underwater region and 52 new aquatic-themed Pokémon. The third part of the DLC, set for a 2027 release, will add another town, potentially similar in scale to Bubbly Basin. Purchasing the Expansion Pass grants players access to dynamic print blocks, wallpapers, a special recipe, and a code for 30 rare Pokémetal ingots. The DLC costs $34.99. Pokémon Pokopia, a life simulation game released on Nintendo Switch 2 in March, has received excellent reviews and sold over 5 million copies as of August.",
