Coming this summer, Pokémon Sleep is a promising fusion of dreamland and gameplay. This groundbreaking smartphone app from The Pokémon Company transforms sleeping into an interactive gaming experience. By placing your smartphone by your pillow as you drift off to dreamland, the app tracks your sleep patterns and intertwines them with gameplay. This innovative game promises to redefine the concept of a good night's rest.
An island of slumbering Pokémon awaits players, where they'll engage in intriguing research on Pokémon sleep styles along a professor with a keen interest in these snoozing creatures, Neroli. The cornerstone of this research? None other than the sleep enthusiast Snorlax. Nurturing your Snorlax is integral to the game; the more you sleep, the bigger your Snorlax grows, and the higher your sleep score. This symbiosis between human and Pokémon sleep patterns shapes the flow of the game.
"Sleep styles" form a core part of the gaming experience. Based on your sleep data, the app categorizes your sleep into one of three styles: dozing, snoozing, or slumbering. Each morning, Pokémon that sleep in similar ways will gather around your Snorlax. This mechanic introduces a unique element of variety, as you might wake up to find rare Pokémon sleeping in the styles seldom seen. The ultimate aim? Filling out your Sleep Style Dex with a variety of Pokémon sleep styles.
The Pokémon Go Plus+ device, set to be released on July 14, offers an enhancement to the Pokémon Sleep experience. This device uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to connect with Pokémon Sleep and track your sleeping habits with ease. It'll also use Pikachu's familiar voice to punctuate the start and end of your sleep with adorable prompts.
