Pokémon Company Laughs Up April Fool's with Sleep Championship Gag

The playful prank features a spoof Pokémon Sleep World Championship, drawing both laughs and admiration for its creativity.

The Pokémon Company released a spoof video for an April Fool's Day joke, announcing a fictional Pokémon Sleep World Championship.
Pokémon Sleep, a sleep-tracking app released in July 2023, became the centerpiece of the joke, showcasing a competition where players compete by sleeping.
The humorous video featured an arena with competitors sleeping in beds, cheered on by a large audience, and was praised for its creativity and production quality.
Despite being a gag, the concept of a competitive sleeping event drew comparisons to real-world sleeping competitions and sparked discussions about the potential for such events.
The joke was well-received by the community, with many appreciating the light-hearted take on the otherwise passive sleep-tracking app.
