Pokopia Meets Resident Evil Crossover Proves Creativity Is Limitless

Pokémon and Resident Evil are two wildly different franchises that you’d never expect to cross paths, and yet they have.

It’s been nice to see Resident Evil make a bit of a name for itself on Nintendo platforms again.

Despite starting life on the first PlayStation console Capcom started to work a bit more closely with Nintendo in the years that followed, with Resident Evil (2002) being a Nintendo GameCube exclusive, and Resident Evil 4 (2005) was supposed to be the same.

Now we have Resident Evil: Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2, and there are even some Amiibos on the way of the game’s protagonists Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy, wild times.

Enter The Survival Pokopia

If you’ve been playing, or at least following, the recently released Pokemon Pokopia you’ll have no doubt seen some of the wild creations players have built thus far.

For Resident Evil fans though, please check out this glorious recreation of the Raccoon City Police Department from Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, later revisited in Resident Evil: Requiem.

The attention to detail is astounding and seeing the iconic main lobby recreated in a Pokémon is an insane development I don’t think many gamers will have seen coming.

Some especially cool additions are shutters like those found in the game, and the front desk even has an impromptu typewriter in the form of a cash register.

All that’s missing are the infected. That said I’m sure Mr Mime is lurking around the building somewhere, hiding in the shadows like the creep he is.

One especially funny addition is a sleeping Machamp found lying on the floor. It’s unclear whether the ‘mon is trying to be a random carcass, Marvin Branagh or a stand-in for Mr X, but they’re doing a great job either way.

This is but one of the many fan recreations that are out there, as players have been hard at work building monuments and cities inspired by some of the best settings in gaming. I’m sure it won’t be long until we get Grand Theft Auto VI in Pokopia before its actual release.

Some of the bespoke creations also deserve a shoutout, like the working subway systems and towering skyscrapers. It’s also really impressive.

Resident Evil continues to thrive on Nintendo platforms, and it’s a beautiful thing to see.
