Pokemon Sleep Anticipation Getting Higher

Pokemon Sleep is the reason why we're having all these tie-ups into other Pokemon games and our anticipation and hype for the game is growing bigger and higher every day until its release date this Summer 2023.  As we said, Pokemon Sleep literally lets you enjoy sleeping together with Snorlax and friends. The game is a different kind of Pokemon game that we are used to as it also uses a different art style.

It was shared that in the game, Trainers help Professor Neroil in the research of Snorlax's mysterious ability to emit Drowsy power which causes Pokemon to gather around it to get drowsy as well. Trainers assist by using the Pokemon Sleep app to track their sleep at night and the data is used to play the game when you wake up. Luckily, you wouldn't need to play at night having to wake up time and time again as all you need to do is to press a button in the game and signal the app that you are going to sleep. You will then have the option to use the Pokemon GO Plus + near your pillow, face down. The device uses its accelerometer to detect and record your sleep patterns.

Upon waking up, you will get to see different Pokemon gathered around Snorlax in different Sleep Styles which you'll log into your Sleep Style Dex. The number of different Pokemon is determined by your personal sleep style and how much Drowsy Power you earn. Drowsy Power is calculated by adding Snorlax's strength to your personal Sleep Score (which is based on the number of hours that you have slept). 8.5 hours earn the maximum of 100 points for adults, while kids earn 100 points by sleeping 11 hours.

There are also several things that you can complete throughout the day while you're awake. You can opt to give Poke Biscuits to the new Pokemon you have encountered and registered in the Sleep Style Dex as they assist you and your team to raise Snorlax.

As interesting as the game is, we definitely would like to get a good first-hand experience on how the game works and if people without the Pokemon GO Plus + will still be able to maximize the game just like Pokemon GO. We still wonder which Pokemon will appear in the game because as far as we know there are the likes of Snorlax, Pikachu, Squirtle, Slowbro, Ratata, Totodile, and Caterpie but will our other favorite Pokemon come out and help with raising Snorlax and the research? Pokemon Sleep is again, slated to be released by the end of Summer 2023. The game may look like it's geared towards children based on the art style but we can't help discount the fact that it's made for older adults since it involves the most leisurely adult thing that can be done – And that is to sleep. No matter the age (or the number of sleep hours), this game is set to introduce new Pokemon mechanics to all the Trainers and Pokemon fans out there. Will you be sleeping in all day? Or will you be trying to stack the hours and get the best Sleep Consistency record among your peers?
