With multiplayer being such a big feature in Pokemon Pokopia, it’s important that players have a way to express themselves around their friends, or even for photos. Since there’s no text-based chat, or even in-game chat, unless you count the Nintendo Switch’s GameChat feature, that leaves you with emotes.
Right from the start, you’ll know a few simple emotes, but as you continue exploring the world of Pokopia, you’ll be able to learn a few more by stumbling onto hidden items. Interacting with these items will allow you to learn the emote, which you can then use to interact with friends or even your Pokemon pals.
All Emote Locations
As mentioned, emotes will be found scattered around the different areas of Pokopia, so you’ll need access to the other gated areas to unlock all of them. Once you do have them, try testing them out with some of your Pokemon friends, as they’ll often directly react to the emote you use with a corresponding response.
To use emotes, press down on the D-pad. Here, you’ll be able to view a wheel of them and move them around to create favorites.
The emotes you’ll start the game with are Celebrate, Cry, Shocked, Beckon, Bow, and Sleepy. For an overview of exactly where to find all the other emotes, please see the table below.
