Catch Some Z’s And Catch ‘Em All: Pokémon Sleep Coming This Summer!
What is Pokémon Sleep
Are you ready to sleep your way to Pokémon greatness? That’s the idea behind Pokémon Sleep, the upcoming mobile game for Android and iOS.
Sleeping is an essential part of life, and Pokémon Sleep takes this to a whole new level. It’s not just about counting sheep – it’s about unlocking new monsters through deep restful sleep.
Each night, your sleeping habits will be categorized into one of three types: dozing, snoozing, or slumbering. The better you sleep, the more unique and powerful Pokémon you can discover!
The details were finally revealed this past Monday during a special Pokémon Presents showcase and here, we got our first look at some gameplay footage.
So take a deep breath, snuggle up, and dream away with your favorite Pokémon!
Why Pokémon Company created this app
Tsunekazu Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokémon Company, stated that their goal is to create a game that will have players eager to get out of bed each day.
So if your mornings usually consist of groggily hitting the snooze button, maybe it’s time to start your day the Poké way!
How Pokémon Sleep works
Playing Pokémon Sleep is quite simple to do! Here’s how:
- Grab your Pokémon Go Plus Plus device, which looks like a disc-shaped Pokéball, and hit the button before you go to bed.
- Let Pikachu serenade you with bedtime lullabies, as this discrete device records and tracks your sleep patterns throughout the night.
- Get a good night’s sleep, and your sleep patterns will be measured, recorded, and analyzed by Professor Neroli.
- You will have the chance to unlock new Pokémon with varying sleep types depending on the quality of your sleep, which can be categorized into one of three types – dozing, snoozing, and slumbering.
- Wake up feeling refreshed and energized!
Benefits of using Pokémon Sleep
As a lifelong Pokémon fan, I am genuinely excited about the upcoming release of Pokémon Sleep. Not only is it an innovative way to motivate people to get better sleep, but it also uses the power of Pokémon to make it enjoyable and entertaining.
The core idea of the app is that it will track users’ sleep patterns, and reward them for time spent sleeping with in-game rewards such as new characters, items, or other incentives. This sounds like a fantastic way to incentivize people to get enough rest.
On top of that, since the app uses the beloved Pokémon franchise, users are likely to find the experience much more engaging than if it were just a basic sleep tracker.
Overall, Pokémon Sleep is an ambitious project that has the potential to completely redefine how we look at sleep and entertainment. I’m looking forward to giving it a try!
Potential risks of Pokemon Sleep
First of all, it’s important to consider data privacy; we don’t know exactly what data the app will be collecting and how this information will be used.
Additionally, it might be difficult to accurately assess users’ sleep patterns since sleep patterns can vary from person to person.
It’s important to remember that quality sleep is more important than quantity; this app could end up encouraging users to stay in bed longer than they should be, or even push them to alter their schedules or sleep environment in order to maximize their ‘rewards’.
Are we going to start seeing people competing for the most hours spent in bed each night? That could potentially create even more sleep deprivation than before!
On the other hand, maybe Pokémon Sleep will help us understand the importance of rest and how it’s vital to our mental and physical health. It also might inspire us to stay off our screens after dark and focus on getting better quality zzz’s.
But then again, this probably isn’t going to be the answer to all our sleep problems. After all, nothing can really replace a good old-fashioned 8 hours of restful slumber. So let’s just see how it goes when Pokémon Sleep comes out this summer!
Conclusion: Is Pokémon Sleep a good or bad thing?
As a person who values their sleep, I’m both excited and hesitant about the Pokémon Sleep app.
On one hand, it sounds like an interesting concept to use Pokémon to make sleeping more fun and rewarding.
But on the other hand, I’m cautious of any technology that gathers so much data and monitors my day-to-day activities.
Without proper privacy protections in place, this kind of app could be used to gather personal information which may be used for nefarious purposes.
Additionally, I worry about the consequences of using such an app – will using it lead to developing a dependence on it? Will not being able to play or access the app due to technical difficulties or other reasons cause frustration or restlessness?
All these potential risks make me wary of using the Pokémon Sleep app, but at the same time I can see how it can help people enjoy sleeping more.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what Pokémon Sleep has in store for us come summertime!
