Thinking of becoming a Pokémon master? Well, you came at the right time.
The Pokémon Company has unveiled a fresh new slate of new games and apps, including a Detective Pikachu follow-up, a cloud service and a chance to catch ‘em all in your sleep.
In 2020, Pokémon will launch the game Pokémon Sleep so that “trainers will be able to wake up with Pokémon every morning,” according to a press release.
The details aren’t clear yet, but Pokémon Sleep gameplay will take into account the time a trainer spends sleeping and the time they wake up. Pokémon Sleep will also use a new Nintendo sleep tracking device called Pokémon GO Plus +.
To celebrate Pokémon Sleep, trainers can go out and catch Snorlax lazing about their local streets in Pokémon GO.

The Pokémon Company is also set to release a robust cloud service called Pokémon Home in early 2020, allowing trainers to gather all their Pokémon from all apps in one place. Not only will you be able to have a central gathering place for your captured creatures, but a trading feature will also allow you to swap your pocket monsters with trainers around the world.
A new version of Detective Pikachu was also among the new reveals. Inspired by the recent blockbuster flick, the Nintendo 3DS game will now come to the Switch, offering a new ending.
