Pokémon Sleep is an upcoming mobile game for Android and iOS, as part of the Pokémon series. It is being developed by Japanese studio "Select Button", with assistance by Pokémon Go developer Niantic, and published by The Pokémon Company.^[1]^[2] It was announced on May 28, 2019 by Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO of the Pokémon Company, during a press conference held in Tokyo as well as on the company's official Twitter page.^[3]^[4] The game was planned to be released in 2020, but missed this deadline.^[5]

The game tracks the amount of time a user sleeps, using the accelerometer of the external Poké Ball Plus accessory, and communicates the data to the user's mobile device via Bluetooth for sleep-related gameplay. Though the gameplay specifics have not been revealed, The Pokémon Company has promised it will turn "sleeping into entertainment" in a similar way to how the Pokémon franchise's other mobile games, Pokémon Go and Pokémon Smile, turned walking and oral hygiene into entertainment respectively.^[6]^[7]
