The 11 wildest Pokémon Pokopia builds we've seen in its first week

Beach parties! Gamer caves! Floating paradise islands! Pokémon Pokopia has only been in the wild for a week, but dedicated builders are already seeing what they can pull off with a handful of blocks and some nice furniture. And sometimes way more more than just a handful of blocks. There are a lot of top-notch builds out there — from impressive architecture to structures inspired by video games. Here are 11 of the best we've seen so far. Pokopia teaches you early that a house is a specific set of things — leaves and brick, or mortar, stone, and wood. It's something you build and place in the environment. This one does things a bit differently. It's something built into the environment. DirgeofElliot carved out some tiered rooms in a cliff wall, then plunked down some brick flooring and made it pretty dang cozy for a cave home. It's a clever way to think differently about how you use space and how you can make anything homely and nice with the right approach. Bleak Beach isn't so bleak with this build. It turns the barren shoreline into a proper party scene with walkways, palm trees, and designated seating areas on one side and a sound stage on the other, complete with fancy lights
