Pokémon Pokopia

Q: Is Pokémon Pokopia on the cartridge or a Game-Key Card?

Game-Key Card. The card is a key, not the game. You download the game the first time (internet needed), then keep the card in the console to play.

Q: Does Pokémon Pokopia work offline?

Yes, once it's downloaded. After the one-time download it plays without internet. The card has to be in the console. Online play and Mystery Gift need a connection.
