Now its creators hope to do the same to the nightly snooze. Pokémon’s chief executive, Tsunekazu Ishihara, said that the Japanese franchise planned to release a new game called Pokémon Sleep in 2020 aimed at nothing less than taking the world of video games into dreamland. “The concept of this game is for players to look forward to waking up every morning,” Mr. Ishihara announced at a news conference. Or as another game executive said, Pokémon Sleep would find ways to “reward good sleep habits.” Pokémon Go was one of the first games to use augmented-reality technology when it was introduced in July 2016. Before long, 28.5 million users were roaming the streets at odd hours, eyes glued to their smartphones, even stumbling into unexpected places. Pokémon Sleep, by contrast, will track sleep patterns and change the game based on how long the user sleeps, and what time he or she wakes up. Some made joking comparisons with “Monsters Inc.,” a Pixar film about furry creatures scaring children in nightmares and harnessing their screams into renewable energy. Others saw the game as a wholesome incentive to get a reasonable amount of sleep, especially since gaming is so often associated with late-night habits. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.heady [hed? ]adj. ________________________________ 2.commute [k?mju?t ]n./vi____________________________ 3.critter [kr?t? ]n. ____________________________ 4.safari [s?fɑ:r? ]n. ___________________________
