On Monday, I was quite taken aback to realize I’d dedicated nearly 24 hours of my weekend to playing Pokémon Pokopia. Despite this, I initially scoffed at colleagues who spoke of losing sleep over the game, deeming it ridiculous and impossible. Now, just a day later, I find myself writing this article through a haze of sleep deprivation, having been uncontrollably drawn to fixing every single bridge in Bleak Beach until 2 AM last night. Pokémon Pokopia has truly captivated me.
