The Pokémon Company established Pokémon Works in March 2024, fueling speculation about its future endeavors. The recent announcement confirms Pokémon Works' role in overseeing Pokémon Sleep's continued development and operation. The transition from Select Button to Pokémon Works will be gradual. The impact on the global version of the game remains unconfirmed, as the news isn't yet reflected in the global app's news section.

株式会社ポケモンと株式会社イルカとの共同事業であるポケモンワークスは比較的新しいものです。 代表取締役の岩崎拓也氏は、より没入型のポケモン体験を生み出すという同社の取り組みを強調する。 Interestingly, Pokémon Works shares a location with ILCA, the studio behind Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, suggesting a potential connection and expertise in Pokémon game development. Their prior work includes contributions to Pokémon HOME.

While the specifics of their vision for Pokémon Sleep are yet to be revealed, Pokémon Works aims to make interacting with Pokémon more engaging and enjoyable for players worldwide.
