You've had a long day at work and you're looking to unwind. You drop a mint on DoorDash and settle into the couch for some video gaming. The intensity of a first-person shooter or racing game isn't your vibe right now. You want to relax, so you fire up "Pokémon Pokopia." All around the world, people are going through this thought process. The desire to decompress is why so-called cozy games like the new " Pokémon " — similar to "Animal Crossing" and "Stardew Valley" before it — are so popular.
