About This Episode
This week we are Pokémon Dreamin’ about when in 1996, we were introduced to three lovable characters named Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Pikachu. These pocket monsters would change the gaming world forever. Fast forward to 2019, over 20 years later, and they are no longer content with consuming our every waking hour. Now, they also want the sleeping ones.
The Pokémon company released an app and a companion device that trains your Pokémon while you sleep. If that doesn’t make sense to you either, then you are in good company and that’s what we want to talk about this week on the free play podcast.
