The first hour or so of Pokemon Pokopia is something you just have to get through. Once you do, a potentially magical experience awaits. But this arduous first hour, when your town is arid and misshapen and the roads lie in ruins, is central to the game's unsung boldness. You are not, as you so often find yourself in these sorts of games, building from scratch, nor even fixing places that have fallen into disrepair. What lies ahead of you is a full-scale demolition job.
