One Pokémon Pokopia player has discovered the game's limits—and promptly started demolishing them. A Reddit user named Mindycane has spent over 25 hours systematically draining Bleak Beach's entire ocean, leaving behind only the bedrock layer and a handful of structures too tied to the game's plot to remove.
The project began when Mindycane needed space for what they're calling an "underwater citadel." According to their posts, the ocean was simply in the way. Using Ditto's water-absorption ability, they spent roughly six hours removing the ocean entirely—a feat that apparently no one thought was actually possible until it happened.
What makes Mindycane's work particularly striking is the sheer ambition. They've demolished the landscape so thoroughly that only the mandatory foundations remain: the lighthouse, the area gate, Mosslax's shrine, and the S.S. Anne (which they seem to have voluntarily spared). Everything else at Bleak Beach has been erased.
This isn't even their first major terraforming operation. Mindycane previously transformed Withering Wasteland into an elaborate castle city, complete with fortress structures and layered construction. For that project, they had apparently gotten a taste for large-scale environmental control.
An Ominous Expansion
What's genuinely unsettling—in the best way—is what comes next. When a commenter suggested Mindycane was making Pokopia's existing apocalyptic storyline worse, they casually responded: "If you think that's bad you should see what I'm gonna do to rocky ridge." In another comment, they cryptically mentioned plans to add "the lava ocean" to Rocky Ridge.
Fellow Pokopia players have also noticed that Mindycane's own Pokémon are nowhere to be seen in their screenshots. When asked where they've gone, Mindycane has only replied with the 😈 emoji or the mysteriously unhelpful "Oh I wouldn't worry too much about them."
At this point, the project feels less like a creative building challenge and more like the unfolding of some elaborate, possibly chaotic master plan. Mindycane has already invested 25 hours and expects to spend considerably more digging and constructing their underwater settlement. Whatever they're building, it's clearly worth the geological devastation.
Pokémon Pokopia, a building simulator centered around a Ditto protagonist, has proven surprisingly flexible when it comes to what players can actually accomplish with the game's systems. While most players might patch roads with mismatched materials or create modest structures, Mindycane has chosen a different path: reshaping entire biomes and their ecosystems, one water block at a time.
What happens next at Rocky Ridge remains a mystery—but based on Mindycane's track record, it probably won't be good for anyone living there.
