The Pokémon Company International has announced that Pokémon Sleep today launches in Europe. A sleep tracker app that turns sleep into entertainment, Pokémon Sleep is now available to download for iOS and Android devices.

To play the Pokémon Sleep game, players place their smartphone device or Pokémon GO Plus + by their pillow and go to sleep. When they wake up, they can check the results of the sleep tracking. You can also study the ‘sleep styles’ of the Pokémon that have appeared, and work together with Pokémon sleep researcher Professor Neroli to record them in the Sleep Style Dex. The more sleep players get, and the bigger Snorlax becomes, the more Pokémon they can meet, and the more sleep styles they’ll be able to discover.

Additionally, the Pokémon GO Plus + device is launching in European markets on Friday, 21st July, 2023. Players who connect their device with Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon GO will earn various in-game bonuses, including a nightcap-wearing Pikachu that players can meet in Pokémon Sleep, or take on Special Research and earn an encounter with Snorlax wearing a nightcap within Pokémon GO.

With their usual abundance of caution, The Pokémon Company International has taken extra effort to suggest that players don’t place their devices under your pillow or blankets. There’s always a worry it may overheat doing so. Furthermore, the company states: “Pokémon Sleep is intended for entertainment purposes only and is not intended for use in detection, diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition or disease.”

So, it’s not ‘Pokémon Doctor‘, then?

As stated above, Pokémon Sleep launches today in Europe. What’re your thoughts on the game? Will you been downloading it immediately, or do you not see the point of a game rewarding you for basically not playing? Let us know in the comments below!
