A new Pokémon app called Pokémon Sleep that will track player’s sleep and use the data for game play, is in its development phase.
Information about how long the user has slept for and when they wake will play a part, but it’s not been made clear exactly how.
The title could help entrench Pokemon’s appeal beyond core gamers and tap into a growing market for health-tracking services.
We’re pleased to announce the development of Pokémon Sleep, a new app from @Pokemon_cojp that tracks a user’s time sleeping and brings a gameplay experience unlike any other!

According to sources, Tsunekazu Ishihara, chief executive of the Pokemon Company, spoke at a news conference in Tokyo about the app, Japan, on May 29, 2019.
Japan’s the Pokemon Company said on Wednesday it was developing “Pokemon Sleep”, a mobile app that tracks players’ sleep and uses the data for gameplay, with a release date set for next year.
“We want to turn sleep into entertainment,” said Tsunekazu Ishihara, chief executive of the Pokemon Company, which helps manage the Pokemon franchise, at an event in Tokyo.
At the same event, Kyoto-based Nintendo Co Ltd said it was developing a sleep-tracking successor to its Pokemon Go Plus device, which allows users to “catch” Pokemon without taking out their smartphones.
