Pokemon Sleep is a real thing coming in 2020

Pokemon Sleep was today unveiled by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, allowing trainers to keep working with the Pokemon friends even while slumbering.

“What if you could continue training your Pokémon…even in your sleep,” the Pokemon account tweeted after the announcement was made. “In 2016, Pokémon GO turned the simple act of walking into entertainment, making the entire world into a game. We’re about to do it again, Trainers—this time, for sleeping.

“We’re pleased to announce the development of Pokémon Sleep, a new app from [The Pokemon Company] that tracks a user’s time sleeping and brings a gameplay experience unlike any other! Several Snorlax were consulted on this, in case you were wondering.”

A new sleep tracking device called Pokemon Go Plus+ will track your sleep and feed information back to Pokemon Go itself on either iOS or Android devices.

Expect Pokemon Sleep in 2020. We’ll have more on the service as it’s made available.
