A Pokemon Go player shared a screenshot on Reddit showing their avatar surrounded by a group of Snorlax, resembling "debt collectors." The image highlights the stark contrast in gameplay experiences between players in different locations, with some having an abundance of PokeStops and Pokemon, while others struggle to find any. Many users expressed envy and longing for more active gameplay, but acknowledged the importance of maintaining a balanced experience for all players.
The long-awaited Pokémon Sleep, a sleep-tracking app with a Pokémon theme, is set to release later this month. The app allows users to increase their bond with the Pokémon Snorlax by getting a good night's sleep, which in turn attracts other tired Pokémon to visit and gift rare sleep styles. The app utilizes the phone's microphone and accelerometer sensors to track sleep patterns, and can be paired with the Pokémon Go Plus bracelet for easy sleep tracking. The app is free, while the bracelet costs around $30.
