Well, here's a little surprise tonight: At some point, Pokémon GO will integrate the player's sleep habits into the gameplay.
This will come as part of a broader initiative of The Pokemon Company to – as CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara explained at a press conference tonight – to "turn sleep into entertainment". We will see how it goes.
Niantic Managing Director John Hanke briefly spoke at the press conference, but did not really give much details. Hanke says:
Niantic has developed a new type of game by turning the whole world into a game board on which we can all play and explore. By creating a new way of seeing the world and encouraging people to go out and exercise, we hoped to encourage a healthy lifestyle and have a positive impact on our players and the world. We are excited to be working with The Pokémon Company in their efforts to encourage another aspect of a healthy lifestyle: rest a good night's sleep.
At Niantic, we like to explore the world on foot. And that can only happen if we have the energy to embark on these adventures. We are excited to find ways to reward good sleep habits at Pokémon GO as part of a healthy lifestyle. You will hear more about it in the future.
Ishihara also announced that the Pokemon company was working with SELECT BUTTON (the company behind the Magikarp 2017 mobile title) to create a separate game called Pokémon SLEEP. Almost no details on this one, however, apart from a launch window of some time in 2020 and the logo:
Pokémon GO + Plus is a follow up of the original GO + version, designed primarily to allow you to play Pokémon GO without having to go through the screen. your phone. The GO Plus Plus will do everything the GO + has done (allowing you to press a button to turn Pokéstops or catch nearby Pokémon), but also has a built-in accelerometer allowing it to Be lying on your bed to follow your sleep patterns and send them away. on your phone via Bluetooth.
And here is a screenshot of a video broadcast alongside the announcement, showing the device as it was intended to be used:
