“After walking, we decided to focus on the act of sleeping,” Pokemon CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara said at a May 29 press conference, according to the report. “Everyone spends a large part of their life sleeping, and turning that into entertainment is our next challenge at Pokemon.”
Pokemon Sleep is slated for release in 2020.
