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!
Several Snorlax were consulted on this, in case you were wondering. #PokemonSleep is coming in 2020. pic.twitter.com/nJ7mJY09Dl

We’re excited to team up with @NintendoAmerica and @NianticLabs again on this new addition.
While you wait for more info, try to catch one of the special sleeping Snorlax appearing in #PokemonGO to celebrate!
Don’t wait too long, or they might wake up…

Fun fact: #PokemonMasters began with a suggestion from Ken Sugimori of @GAMEFREAK_info, who wanted to create a game featuring all past and present Pokémon Trainers from the video games.
Stay tuned for more on Pokémon Masters. We’ll share additional info as soon as we can!
