‘About to rest my very best’: ‘Pokémon Sleep’ has adult trainers with too many responsibilities excited for a nap

After months of anticipation, Pokémon Sleep has been launched, and adults are eager to see if this game can really help them with a good night’s sleep. As of writing, the mobile game is available in four countries. While Australians and Kiwis are still going about their afternoon, Canadians and Latin Americans will be the first trainers to try out the game this evening.

Players are excited to discover which Pokémon they will encounter on their first night. Some have even started setting up their beds with their favorite plushies to motivate themselves to get a proper sleep. Meanwhile, the U.S. will need to patiently wait just a little longer for the official release of the game, similar to what happened during the release of Pokémon GO.

Those who purchased the Pokémon GO Plus+ accessory are also excited to see what this device can do whilst using the app. Trainers were amazed to learn that the Pikachu they receive in the game can sing lullabies. This has to be the most adorable feature made by The Pokémon Company. However, we can’t help but notice a missed opportunity to include the iconic Jigglypuff lullaby.

Unfortunately, the launch of this new game did not bring good news for beta testers. They will not be able to transfer their data and will be forced to start over. One player said farewell to a Shiny Gulpin they encountered in the game, hoping to meet it again soon.

Pokémon Sleep was initially announced back in 2019 and was supposed to come out in 2020. Unfortunately, the date was pushed and the official trailer for this new app was released during Pokémon Day celebrations back in February.

Trainers with insomnia and sleeping disorders were concerned about potential disadvantages while playing the game. Fortunately, Pokémon Sleep requires at least 90 minutes of shut eye, which will hopefully prove sufficient for those who have difficulty sleeping.

The Pokémon Company has yet to announce the release date for Pokémon Sleep in the U.S. However, the game is now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play stores for Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Latin America.
