If there one thing that Nintendo and their affiliates are good at, it’s their ability to always surprise me. And during The Pokemon Company’s press conference earlier today, they managed to do just that. During this press conference, the company announced a variety of Pokemon-related projects currently being worked on, but only touching briefly on the upcoming Switch games Sword and Shield; more news on that to come next week during their Pokemon Direct on June 5th.

But the project that left me the most interested and a tad bit confused was Pokemon Sleep: a new mobile game made by Select Button, the same developers of Magikarp Jump, another Pokemon-themed mobile game. Along with the game, they announced a new accessory to go along with it: the Pokemon Go Plus… plus! Aside from being a candidate for the most unimaginative name of 2019, the Pokemon Go Plus+ not only has the same functionality than the regular Pokemon Go Plus, but also tracks your sleep patterns with the help of your smart phone.

How exactly it will do this is not in my area of expertise, but you’re supposed to put the device next to you on your bed while it tracks various data regarding your sleep patterns. Right away, I see a design flaw for those with twin-sized beds or significant others in full sized beds, as there may not be a lot of room to put the device itself. What also baffles me is how sleeping is going to affect gameplay, or what the gameplay is about in general. The game and device are slated for sometime in 2020, so we will have to wait and see.

During the same press conference, Niantic also announced that they are working on ways to incorporate sleeping into Pokemon Go as well, not only promoting walking but getting a good night’s rest as well. I am definitely curious, and a bit excited to see how they are going to handle all of this.
