Pokémon Sleep Wakes Up, Launching This Summer

1 year 2 months ago

The Pokémon Company has finally re-revealed Pokémon Sleep after the game fell into a slumber for almost four years.

Announced during February's Pokémon Presents event, Pokémon Sleep will officially launch this summer.

During the presentation, we learned more about Pokémon Sleep, including confirmation that the app will track your sleeping patterns and will show you different sleep styles of the many different pocket monsters you can encounter in the game.

It aims to "turn sleeping into entertainment by having a player's time spent sleeping, and the time they wake up, affect the gameplay," letting players "wake up with Pokémon every morning." Pokémon Sleep will be available on Android and iOS when it releases.

The Pokémon Company also announced the Pokémon GO Plus+ (said as plus plus). The new gadget is designed to work with Pokémon Sleep and, of course, Pokémon GO, and will be available on July 21 this year.

When used with Pokémon Sleep, a special Pikachu inside the device will sing players lullabies and get friendlier the more sleep the trainer gets.

This was just one of the announcements shared during the Pokémon Presents event, but IGN has you covered with absolutely every bit of news right here.
