translated from Spanish: Pokémon Sleep: The Evolution of Pokémon Go

The Pokémon Company yesterday held a press conference in which announced several news for fans of the franchise, such as the Pokémon Home service, the game for mobile devices Pokémon Masters and the strange Pokémon Sleep, an application whose Goal is to “transform the dream into entertainment.” Pokémon Sleep will be launched on cellphones with iOS and Android over the next year and use a sleep monitoring device (similar to those found in the wristbands and smart watches) that will communicate with the phone via a Bluetooth connection and It will reward players who maintain “good sleep habits as part of a healthy lifestyle.”

The company did not offer many details but the application will be affected by the hours of sleep and the time when the user wakes up. Apparently the company, which used the physical activity as the selling point of the game of augmented reality Pokémon GO, seeks to install good habits on its players — a connection that is confirmed with the new Pokémon GO Plus + device. Pokémon GO Plus + is the evolution of its predecessor, the Pokémon GO Plus (sorry, I do not name them), and will connect to the Pokémon Sleep application. Using an accelerometer will record the cycles and hours of sleep of the user, but also (as Pokémon GO Plus) to store a Pokémon and vibrate when approaching a Pokeparada “to use with Pokémon GO during the day and Pokémon Sleep during the night.”

To celebrate the announcement of the new application, The Pokémon Company launched an update on Pokémon GO with Snorlax (a creature whose main feature is to sleep most of the time) as a protagonist. Until Monday 3rd of June the map of the game will be invaded by these characters, and all those that are captured between now and next Monday will be able to execute the Yawn movement, exclusive of this event. Pokémon Sleep will be released during the next year and is being developed by Select Button, the responsible study of Pokémon: Magikarp Jump. In this note:
