The Pokemon Company made a whole lot of Pokemon announcements at the Pokemon Press Conference yesterday. In addition to the Detective Pikachu game for the Nintendo Switch, they also made a couple of announcements for new mobile Pokemon games.
One of these is being made by DeNA, who’ve been teasing this project of late. Called Pokemon Masters, it will feature an all-stars cast of Pokemon trainers who’ve been featured in the games across the years. You’ll battle with and against these trainers, while a press release for the game’s announcement describes its gameplay experience as being “optimized for smart devices for a casual but uniquely Pokémon experience.” More information on the game will follow in June.
Then there’s Pokemon Sleep, which is more an app than a game, and is being handled by Select Button, and will be receiving more information “at a later date”. Due out next year, this app “tracks a user’s time sleeping and brings a gameplay experience unlike any other”. Finally, The Pokemon Company also unveiled Pokemon GO Plus +, which is part a regular Pokemon Go Plus, and part something new, and will track the user’s sleep at night. Niantic are confirmed to be helping out with development.
Meanwhile, if all you care about is Pokemon Sword and Shield, don’f fear- fifteen minutes of new information and gameplay on the Switch games will be released during a Direct Presentation on June 5.
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
