Pokémon Pokopia on Switch 2 builds
Mainline Lichii and a fork disagree, and I am not going to collapse that into 'Pokopia works'.
Mainline versus PokeDinner
Issue 79 on Lichii records a constant black screen on build 65, with the GPU idle around 16 percent. Another ticket, described alongside it, says only an outline and the interface appear. Those are mainline reports.
PokeDinner is a fork of Eglantine hosted on Eden's forge. A GBAtemp thread says Pokopia runs well there and posts macOS and Linux build steps. The same author writes about 10 frames per second on an M1 and about 20 on an M3 Pro. The Lichii community page lists three reports, all marked perfect. The tracker reports do not establish that the reporters used PokeDinner, so they are not a second source for that fork. Their results differ from the mainline black-screen ticket.
The thread also mentions a bad dump circulating and a 'fix'. I am not linking a file, a patch, or a dump. If your only goal is a download, this page will disappoint you on purpose.
NXNative's readme also names Pokémon Pokopia among its named Switch 2 games on Mac, which is a third route and a recompile rather than this fork. No official Eglantine or Lichii tag I read claims first-class Pokopia support.

FAQ
Why do people mention a fork?
Because the mainline ticket is a black screen and the GBAtemp write-up is about PokeDinner, an Eglantine fork, not about Lichii build 93.
Are the M1 numbers official?
No. They are one person's post. I am not turning 10 and 20 into a requirement.
