A few weeks ago we learned about the intentions of the Pokémon Company to launch a new game in the franchise together with DeNa, a famous developer of mobile video games like Super Mario Run. Well, the mystery has already been fully revealed at a press conference in Tokyo. The game in question will be called Pokémon Masters, and it will bring Pokémon brawling to both Android and iPhone sometime this year.
Of course, for the moment few details have been given in this regard.Only that the title will raise fights between well-known trainers of the franchise. And it is that, according to what was shared on the official Twitter account of Pokémon, the player will be able to fight side by side with other official trainers of the saga. Something like fighting alongside Brock and Misty against other great Pokémon gym trainers from different editions of Pokémon.

There is also no official release date, although The Pokémon Company invites us to wait until sometime this year to be able to participate in these battles. Until now an image has circulated through social networks showing 3 vs. 3 combat And everything indicates that the mechanics will be turn-based and with a great strategic component.Although it seems that they forget about the four attack moves that Pokémon could previously master, focusing on two and the use of potions. But we will have to wait a little longer to find out new details. Maybe during the E3 show in Los Angeles in a couple of weeks.
Pokémon Sleep
But news from The Pokémon Company doesn't come alone. Along with Pokémon Masters, the arrival of a new application for Android and iPhone mobiles has also been announced: Pokémon Sleep Of course, this time they indicate that it will arrive by 2020 So you will have to be patient. And, above all, train our sleep.

And the Pokémon Sleep application focuses on improving and regulating our rest. All this based on the gamification of this action. What is not yet known is how it will work, but everything indicates that we will train Pokémon complying with he althy sleep habits Something that, later, can be taken to other titles of Pokémon for mobile like Pokémon GO.
Of course the application does not come alone. In order to correctly measure the player's habits, a new connected device will be launched. It will be a kind of bracelet called Pokémon GO Plus Plus (the Pokémon GO Plus bracelet is the one that already exists for use with Pokémon GO) that will have a gyroscope to measure the movement. Something that, in theory, will help measure the rest of the user and reflect it in some way in our Pokémon. During the day it will work as a bracelet to capture Pokémon, and at night it will measure the quality of sleep placed on our pillow.
The question is whether all this data can be carried over to Pokémon GO or Pokémon Let's GO Pikachu and Eevee. Although the announcement of the platform Pokémon Home gives rise to it.
Pokémon Home
There are no two without three for The Pokémon Company. Along with the other games, mobile users, but also Nintendo Switch players, even Nintendo 3DS players, will have a cloud of Pokémon. That is, an online storage service. Something like a Dropbox for Pokémon

This is a service that will allow Pokémon to be stored and traded for recent and future games in the franchise. Something that allows to interconnect all of them and apply other social functions to the coaches of the different platforms Of course, we will have to wait until the beginning of 2020 to have this operational service .
