As if you didn't cram enough game time into your waking hours, Pokémon is launching a new way to catch 'em all... while you sleep.
The Pokémon Company announced the perplexing new app, Pokémon Sleep, at a preview event in Tokyo on Wednesday.
According to the announcement, the game will be paired with a device developed with Nintendo called the Pokémon Go Plus Plus, which uses an accelerometer to track your sleep time and sends this information to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
All this, the company says, allows you to catch Pokémon in your sleep. "Several Snorlax were consulted on this, in case you were wondering," Pokémon tweeted.

Pokémon Sleep will launch for mobile devices in 2020. It's not the only new Pokémon product announced on Wednesday, however.
The company is also launching a new cloud service app called Pokémon HOME, which allows players to syndicate their Pokémon collection across games, trade with other players, and in future, allow multiple players to trade simultaneously.
Expected to launch in early 2020 on iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch devices, the cloud service connects with Pokémon Bank, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games, and also Pokémon GO.
Welcome home, Trainers.

Plus, there's a(nother) new Pokémon mobile game on the way, announced just weeks after Pokémon Rumble Rush began quietly rolling out in Australia.
Created by The Pokémon Company and DeNA, Pokémon Masters will land on iOS and Android devices some time in 2019.
The details are vague at this point, with more coming in June, but according to the announcement, "Pokémon Masters lets players experience a new type of Pokémon battling on the go, and it features many famous Pokémon Trainers from the long history of Pokémon video games."

Phew! One more.
The company also announced plans for a new entry in the Detective Pikachu video game series specifically for Nintendo Switch, with more details to come.
