It’s been 4 years since Pokémon GO was released, and the game is still reaping countless successes with a large number of players. As can be easily seen, the Pokémon theme is still considered a golden egg by many developers. Because of this, recently, the father of Pokémon GO, the publisher Pokémon Company has promised to release a brand new game by the end of July 2023. The game is called Pokémon Sleep.
True to its name, in Pokémon Sleep, the player’s task is nothing but sleeping. So, it’s hard to call this a proper game. Specifically, the main character in this game is Snorlax – a Pokémon with the ability to sleep absolutely. And every time gamers get a good night’s sleep, the resonance with Snorlax will increase. The interesting thing is that each player will be given a Sleep Style Dex containing different Pokémon species. This machine will analyze the player’s sleep and evaluate, then reward Pokémon species that match the sleep patterns.
It is known that Pokémon Sleep will use the microphone and accelerometer sensor on the phone to detect the quality of sleep. Specifically, these features will allow the game to know if the player is really sleeping deeply or tossing and turning, changing positions, turning over in sleep, or making strange noises during this process. Are not. From there, Sleep Style Dex will analyze the above data and give appropriate gifts.
Pokémon Sleep will work independently and as a separate application, not compatible with other health monitoring applications from the user. Except for the Pokémon Go Plus bracelet, which could allow gamers to track sleep with ease. The good news for gamers is that Pokémon Sleep will be released completely for free. And perhaps this is the weirdest game in history, when instead of needing a mouse, keyboard or controller, what gamers need is simply a good night’s sleep to break this game.
