I can't believe there's now a Pokémon doping scandal.

The original Japanese Twitter comment points out that sleeping pills is a Pay 2 Win mechanic, lol.
TIL there is a thing called Pokemon Sleep
It came out publicly last week
The thought of a competitive Pokemon Sleep scenario just filled me with the most precious mental image. The Reverse Gamer™ Room, no leds, no table full of monitors, a mega comfy bed, relaxing music or white noise machine, guides on how to have a healthy diet and regular workout sessions.
I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.
I'm really not a fan of this game because of having to leave your phone on all night long with it plugged in. For multiple reasons, but the fire hazard is definitely one of them. Why couldn't it sync up with other passive sleep trackers, like smart watches?
I’d be interested in using it if the data could just be pulled from Apple Health. I don’t sleep with my phone and I’m not buying a $55 toy that does what my watch already accomplishes.
Exactly, I have a Galaxy watch myself and it does a fine job of tracking my sleep despite how old it is. They made Pokemon Go able to sync walking data with the system health app so they game could reward you even without it open. I don't know why they missed that for Pokemon Sleep, especially with all the delays
I tried Pokemon Sleep and I didn't like it. It's way more complicated than it needs to be. It's very much a typical mobile game, with lots of meters, currencies, timers, login rewards, etc. And it doesn't make any sense. Why do I need to feed a snorlax to make it bigger? What exactly is my sleep doing? Does the snorlax represent the player, even though the player is clearly a separate entity from the snorlax? Why should I care about friendship meters? It's all ridiculous.
I guess the alternative could have been " let this Munna feed on your dreams" but it might have been too creepy for most.
That site probably : "Hey kids, did you know that steroids make you better at RingFit Adventures too?"
Meth will help you defend your gym in Pokémon Go.
