For people curious. This is more a sleep tracker than a game.
The game is slow, I work and sleep about 6 Hours per day. I’ve been playing since the game got out in EU and my best Pokemon just got level 11 as a free player. Some people are higher, it will depend a lot of how long you sleep.
The gameplay loop is:
At the start of the week you choose a team of 5 pokemon
You sleep
When you wake up you have a cookie you can give to a random pokemon that can’t in your sleep. It give 3 hearts with them. You need 5 To get the weakest pokémons into your team
You connect 3 times a day to get the berries You also make 3 times a day a meal using ingredients (different from berries) your pokemon can get, which will strengthen the Snorlax and attract rarer Pokemon
The currencies in the game are: Dream Points: to buy accessories and PokeBall cookies (which give 1 heart) Diamonds: you buy from Real € for accessories and PokeBall Cookies Dream Shards: used to level up manually some Pokemon or to grow your camp Pokemon Candies: you get for each different pokemon to evolve them or to manually gain them level with Dream Shards
You can buy one PokeBall biscuits for 1.19€ (but in bundle of 3, so 3 for 3.57€) Or you can buy it for one 8h30 or more night + 6 hours of sleep (so one PokeBall cookies every 2 days.
If you have the sleeppass for 10€ per month. You get two free 3 heart cookies every day allowing you to catch every day a weaker pokemon for free (remember a weak pokemon is 5 hearts) And you get a reduction, for the price of the PokeBall cookies to a perfect night of 8h30 or basically 2 nights of like 7 hours.
You also get access with the b Sleep pass to the possibility to buy a GreatBall cookie which like the free cookie, will give you 3 hearts to a wild Pokemon For the small cost of 4 perfect 8h30 nights, or if you are normal like me, a week of sleep.
Now let’s say you’ve collected with your sleeppass GreatBall cookies. And suddenly, your favorite pokemon Absol appears in the morning after you sleeped! Wow! You will need to get him to 12 hearts. Requiring you 4 cookies, your 2 free of the day and two GreatBall cookies you bought from 2 weeks of sleep. Well sadly after 2 cookies a Pokemon is full, and you will need to wait next time this rare Pokemon appears to finish heading him (hearts stay between each time the pokemon appears)
Or, you can buy once a month a Master Ball Cookie. Which will instantly catch any pokemon. For the low cost of 40 days of perfect 8h30 sleep every single day.
So even if you pay, the game is made to be incredibly slow it’s part fo the design
And yet I connect 3 times a day and I’ve been enjoying but still a bit frustrated because I have an average of 6h30 of sleep every day
Battlepass for a sleep tracker? I’ve seen it all.
Woke up and checked the game, corrected certain errors, and one of them is that is not a “battle pass”, it’s called a sleep pass. You don’t have quest in them to get loot, you simply very more “rare loot” am fidelity loot if you have the sleep pass for multiple months
You pay for a drip feed of exclusive content fueled by fomo. It’s the same concept the fact it’s got a different name doesn’t change that. I’ve heard all I need to.
Yeah, I had never heard of Pokemon Sleep and was curious to see what it was about, but OP’s summary immediately killed my interest. I avoid battle pass-like content and FOMO-focused games like plague.
As you should, devs keep trying to push these wallet suckers onto us. Pushback and avoid I say.
Add sleep tracking for other devices or fuck off PKM CO.
Other devices?
Sleep tracking devices I’d imagine. You can only use your phone or the $60 Pokémon Go Plus Plus (real name) to track your sleep. Many sleep tracking apps can track using your wearables as well.
or the $60 Pokémon Go Plus Plus (real name)
Oh yeah I wasn’t aware of this, if it is possible to bring it there, it should be possible with other wearables.
