Pokemon Sleep app and Pokemon Go Plus - what is it?

The Pokemon Sleep app and Pokemon Go Plus are the latest additions to the Pokemon franchise, offering a unique way to interact with the popular pocket monsters. So what exactly are these new devices and how do they work?

The Pokemon Sleep app is set to be released on July 14, 2023. It aims to turn sleep into entertainment by allowing players to engage with Pokemon while they snooze. To use the app, simply place your smartphone by your pillow and go to sleep. When you wake up in the morning, you'll have something to look forward to as your sleep data will be transformed into in-game rewards and achievements.

In the game, your adventure takes place on a small island where you'll study how Pokemon sleep. Working alongside large Snorlax and Neroli, a researcher focused on Pokemon sleep styles, you'll aim to achieve the highest score by getting a good night's sleep. The longer you sleep, the more Pokemon you'll encounter around Snorlax.

To enhance the experience, players can also make use of the Pokemon Go Plus device. This sleep device is compatible with both Pokemon Sleep and Pokemon Go, allowing you to play both games without needing to constantly use your smartphone. However, it's important to note that you'll still need the respective apps on your phone for the Pokemon Go Plus device to connect.

The Pokemon Go Plus is a separate device that uses technology to link with the Pokemon Sleep app. It can be easily activated by pressing the central button. Before going to bed, place the device by your pillow, and it will track your sleep patterns throughout the night, feeding the data back into the Pokemon Sleep game.

As for availability, the Pokemon Sleep app is expected to launch worldwide in the summer of 2023, although there may be certain regions excluded from the initial release. The app can already be pre-registered on the Google Play Store, though iOS users will have to wait a little longer for their chance to reserve it.

While the link to download the Pokemon Sleep app is not currently active, you can find more information on the official Pokemon website. Keep an eye out for updates and announcements to ensure you don't miss out on this exciting new addition to the Pokemon universe.
