Pokémon Sleep
New details have been released for the coming game, Pokémon Sleep
The goal of the game is to finish your Sleep Style Dex and each Pokémon has got specific styles
In the day you can feed your Snorlax berries and meals to improve its strength and you will get a Sleep Score when you sleep based on how long and well you sleep, multiplied by Snorlax's sleep, in order to determine your Drowsy Power which attracts Pokémon. This helps Snorlax grow and the bigger Snorlax gets, the more Pokémon you get
The game tracks various elements including when you sleep and wake up and even can track recordings to see if you make too much noise while you sleep
There are three types of sleep: Dozing, Snoozing and Slumbering and the different kind of sleep you get determines the Pokémon you find
Edit @ 13:12: We have updated our Pre-Release Trailer section with multiple videos of the game. The game is also able to be pre-registered on the Google Play Store
Edit @ 13:43: We have added numerous screenshots to our Pre-Release Screenshot pages
There are three cycles of play. Night is where you can track your sleep. Morning is where you research the Pokémon that arrived to complete your Sleep Style Dex, and even befriend the Pokémon you find and Afternoon is where you can help raise Snorlax's Strength toincrease its Drowsy Power by using berries gathered by the befriended Pokémon
It is not recommended that you place your device under your pillow or blankets as it may overheat
The game is now scheduled for release in late July
Edit @ 14:05: If you connect the Pokémon GO Plus + to Pokémon Sleep, a Pikachu in a night cap will appear in the game to help you raise Snorlax
Every Monday, players will be able to choose a new site and encounter a new Snorlax to raise to start off the week of research. More Pokémon will appear at the weekends as well
You can also register other players as friends to share sleep duration and sleep styles studied. Players can get rewards for reviewing friends sleep research
