Sleep in Pokemon

I spent a week using Pokemon Sleep and felt compelled to do some research on the Sleep Cycle. I then sharing a creature about the Sleep Cycle I plan to use in my independent project.

The fact you put the among us drip theme in the music when amoonguss is on screen is freaking incredible

[@plushenjoyingfiend4335]

I just noticed that bro wth lol

[@Artomlet33]

Omg it’s you

[@cozmoz5108]

Not to mention how it also played a lullaby before that lol

[@camerontupper1138]

Time stamp

[@Sandvichman.]

begging you to say fuck

[@ZTimeGamingYT]

Understanding sleep is truly an amazing and unsettling factor of scientific research.

[@special_summon]

the fact that we have to spend a third of our lives while unconscious smh

[@dawert2667]

I deal with some NREM-related parasomnias like sleepwalking, night terrors, and hypnagogic hallucinations. It wouldn’t jump out at you as STEM-related, but I feel like a hallucination-related monster is pertinent to science because hallucinations are stark reminders that our ideas of the laws of reality depend solely on our sensory organs’ ability to perceive it. Awesome video!!

[@fightthepowerman]

Haha yeah 😂😅😊😮😢

[@HateSonneillon]

Slothsom is such a great design. I love the different stages. It would be great if these stages weren't just linear as well. Like you could do a move that puts you back 1 stage so you can maintain the effects of certain stages for different builds. I forget what its called when you jump as you're starting to fall asleep but that could be the name of the move. "Startle" perhaps?

[@NagKai_G]

For as interesting as this idea may be, if stage 3 Slothsom actually healed itself I could see this move being heavily abused to create an incredibly powerful wall that stops anything that doesn't directly counter it.

[@AfterTheFirstNever]

@@NagKai_Gnot if the move to repeat it lowered it stats or some equalizing debuff. Gotta explore more possibilities.

[@syco7274]

Very off topic but a pokemon based on semiconductors could be cool, maybe give it defferemt variants/ gender differences based on the order of the p and n parts (pnp and npn transistors for example). The evolution could be the change from a bipolar transistor to a MOSFET

[@thisorthat2497]

I like this idea

[@giovannicirne5549]

Hey nORtist, since Slothsom has a moon representing sleep in his design, maybe each stage could be represented by a different phase of the moon? Maybe because he goes berserk in his final stage, a full moon motif and raised hairs would remind people of werewolves visually too? Just a thought that I had, lovedyour design and video rregardless!

[@mezzovii]

your art is so cute. when darkrai came on the screen, i squealed because of how cute you made it. you made the pokemon that's supposed to represent nightmares absolutely adorable! i wanna hug it.

[@greenapple9477]

IKR? Darkrai is my absolute favorite and I love how it looks in his style. 😊🥰

[@kirinotosaki9004]

I can't believe you didn't mention the ability Insomnia of all things, that's like, one of the only abilities where its Sleep-central.

[@cozmoz5108]

Love the music, how it went from lullaby to among us

[@AphidKirby]

Slothsom is sooooo awsome!!! What a fun gimmick!! They're dreaming form is sick!

[@bornasotoudeh4044]

I hate and love that you made the background noise for the Amoongus line a remix of the Among Us Theme.

[@dudono1744]

Slothsom using rest : tries to sleep harder

[@pastoobagelman4107]

Watching this video reminded me about all of the stuff I learned in Psychology. Love these videos, make sure to sleep well after this, Nortist!

[@Henri11111]

I know the stats you show in your videos aren't final, but as of right now slothsom looks like an absolute BEAST in battle.

[@hankbanzet9681]

The Pokémon made for this video seems kinda like a timer fight or something, Like you have to defeat it quickly other wise you’ll be in a worse situation than before

[@comicboy4253]

Hi I like your pokemon designs

[@FlamingSnowflakeProductions]

Love, love, LOVE the way Slothsom's spines taper at the end to look like a night-cap, positively adorable. Awesome work on this!

[@guts60]

You need a telescope creature-that-totally-isn’t-a-Pokémon based off of the telescopefish or, even better, the telescope goldfish (no relation to telescopefish)

[@stormwarrior5362]

I have been playing for over 2 weeks and honestly I really like it. You could put your phone at the lower side at your bed and it’ll still work. I put it in the corner of my bed and it worked pretty much every time ( had missed one sleep session, but that’s it).

[@mezzovii]

i wanna play it but my worry is what if me or my phone falls off the bed? will the data become off?

[@stormwarrior5362]

@@mezzovii It will probably count it up until the phone had fallen. The way I put my phone is I put the charger in between the side of my bed and the mattress to anchor it into place so it doesn’t move. About you falling out of the bed, maybe put a pillow in between you and the edge of the bed so at least you land safely.

[@someoneawesome8717]

On the subject of sleep, many pokemon also have Insomnia which I am very disappointed you didn't mention

[@Artesfol]

That's... not what I expect him to do. Well its guess it's good to for me to understand sleep, I barely get any😂

[@pcu9284]

Slothsom in it's current form looks like a bit of a competitive menace

[@sylphid9885]

It's very ironic that I found this video just as I am having sleep issues tonight. Great work as always

[@SnoFitzroy]

This video has me feeling like sleep status deserves a minor rework: - always 2-3 turns - turn count requirement reduced by 1 for mons with specific abilities - 50% chance to heal 25% of max HP at the end of turn 2 at the cost of sleeping a third turn guaranteed. - 50% chance you wake up after the second turn and get no heal. - Comatose would gain the effect of healing 10% max HP every three turns. Less healing but can be repeated. Counter for Comatose resets when switched out. The idea is to intentionally represent the 3 main sleep stages, while referencing when healing actually takes place. Idk what to do about making Rest accurate tho, as it's meant to be a healing move primarily, with sleeping being the drawback of a guaranteed full heal. Maybe if it raised both defenses by 2 stages on use, forces 3 sleep turns, heals at the start of turn 3, drops defenses back at the end of turn 3?

[@TWLSpark]

I don't think making it a 2 turn guaranteed sleep is the way to go, so that one definitely has to go back to 1-3. However, I like the little side effects you gave to the sleep turns, so how about middle point? On turn 1 and 2, you have a 50% chance to wake up at the end of the turn (guaranteed wake up if it receives any kind of damage on the first turn, including hazards). If it's still asleep by turn 3, the wake up chance is reduced to 25% and if it doesn't wake up by the end of the turn, it recovers 50% of its HP and receives an omniboost for its trouble. Pokemon with the ability Comatose recover 10% HP at the end of every turn, as they don't really go through sleep cycles. Rest could have a similar effect, but less powerful because you control it rather than the game: If Rest is used, its defenses are raised by one stage, recovers all of its HP and it goes to sleep. This sleep always lasts for 2 turns, but it can be reset by using Rest again, which works even if the Pokemon is asleep but they only gain 50% HP if you do. A Pokemon with the Comatose ability can use Rest like a healing move to recover 50% HP.

[@SnoFitzroy]

that doesn't make sense to keep sleeping after the turn that represents REM. the idea is to transliterate the stages into turns and move the healing to a turn that would make more sense. teh defense buff idea is just so that you don't get KO'd waiting for the delayed heal as much@@TWLSpark

[@soysamdibujos]

Amazing vid, just as always! BTW I am unironically watching this vid in fact before going to sleep (No joke here in Spain it's 3:30AM, I ALSO HAVE BAD SLEEP HABBITS) Thx for the lil "good night" at the end, it melted my heart

[@anglure3617]

9:54 - 10:16 I see (or rather, hear) what you did there

[@5kM00]

Love your videos!

[@ovrsurge4689]

slothsom is a really cool design. Top notch stuff.

[@RubyHarmonyTV]

Slothsom's absolutely going on my team, they are so adorable

[@PipPanoma]

Another cool concept you could explore is the sleeping sickness, where your body is forced into a sleep-like state because of an infection.

[@Mysterium-zy6ri]

I just learned this last week in my psychology class! Sleep is so interesting, especially Freud's theories!

[@guts60]

If this was still a Pokémon ROM and not a separate thing, I’d say add a Fume Hood rotom form. Poison/electric, with poison heal as its main ability.

[@SocialBubblia]

With slothsom, you have got to realize you just created a four stage truant with more states than "can attack this turn" and "can't attack this turn."

[@bingoviini]

So sleep paralysis is just your eyes opening during rem

[@Nawy1761]

I fell asleep with thisn video on, as a softcore insomniac i see it as an absolute win

[@Thesmus]

watching this while still awake when i should be sleeping

[@f4rtsman425]

Snorlax looks like a car before I focused in

[@641mamaluigi]

This is real cool, I think Jirachi is the king of sleeping Pokémon, it only wakes for a week then goes to sleep for another thousand years

[@josiahmckinley]

I was watching This right before I went to bed :)

[@Senki714]

It’s currently 1:30 a.m. when I’m seeing this, so I’ll take it ad a reminder ti sleep

[@haruthegremlin]

the way the music transitioned when amoonguss appeared on screen lol

[@TheTrueMixer]

New game mechanic in your game, You sleep and you wake up to a Pokémon (Or what ever you call it) only spawns after 24 hours

[@katarinadreams6955]

The day Komala wakes up I assume the world explodes

[@ColeGamesYT]

THE AMONG US THEME WHEN AMOONGUS WAS RHWEE AHAHAHSHWHSWJSJSSJD

[@cookiedough6733]

When you lucid dream in Pokémon sleep:

[@1Henrink]

The fact this app made me play the tutorial just as I woke up made me want to never touch it again.

[@noamarie2072]

Respect for Pokémon for inviting sleep

[@AlibiHonest]

among us while talking about spores XD

Great video as always Nort, completely unrelated but I named my Pikachu Remy, thought it was clever lol

[@welkin7321]

this is one of my favourite designs you’ve made

[@gaellepeeters2129]

This video is amazing and I really liked it but when amoonguss was mentioned I felt something “suspicious” in the music

[@RazaquaZ0]

9:56 Nice touch with the among us drip

[@Jake_TheAnimator]

I heard the drip theme and I just chuckled

[@godzillablox9468]

I love science and Pokémon. Can’t wait to see the end result

[@adam0cles]

i watched you draw those thicc gigantimax snorlax and munchlax. very epic

[@emrs4237]

I don’t know if you’ve done it (I haven’t seen a lot of your videos), but a mon based on quantum locking (two superconductors getting locked a set distance apart through magnetic fields) would be really cool. Probably Ice/Electric or Ground/Electric.

[@ElloGovnaShorts]

Very cool and ingenious idea

[@Porygon12Z]

After watching this video I made my own Fakémon: Drowzeeng, Hypnooz, and Slumbor. Drowzeeng looks like Drowzee and SpongeBob as snail, where his tongue is the bottom, except it’s Drowzeeng’s trunk that’s the bottom, it has 4 forms, Dozing, Snoozing, Slumbering, and REM. Each form is just color changes, and the color changes match the colors each form is represented by in this video, when Dozing Drowzeeng is walking, It walks like normal with its long trunk sticking out, Snoozing Drowzeeng walks like a slowpoke with its long trunk once again sticking out, Slumbering Drowzeeng doesn’t move and stays in a stationary spot, REM Drowzeeng is Stationary but twitching eyes. 100 likes for Hypnooz.

[@StarFried]

i been using the app basically since it came out and honestly the only reason i have better sleep cycle is thanks to it, i NEVER go over 1 am nowadays and it's all thanks to that app, today i finally got a leafeon who is my favorite Pokémon today and in general it has helped me a lot

[@StarFried]

before it i basically slept a max of 3 hours everyday and ran exclusively on coffee

[@madnessarcade7447]

Sleep is a very charming game

[@samspires]

Wow! I really can’t wait to play your game someday!

[@rockfish7777]

i think when slothom is in REM his eyes should be a different color or drawn differently so it looks like he isnt awake but sleep walking

[@iLikeDucks_]

Slothman is so good, big funni guy :)

[@bruhmphrey]

You’re just a great science communicator, with a Pokémon skin on them! If you ever do manage to make a Monster Collector with STEM education involved, I’ll immediately share it with all the science educators I know! So fun!

[@stoneman7220]

That Was super cool

[@kryptid2800]

i heard the music change when you started talking about amoonguss ... very sneaky

[@sassafrassanid5718]

Fell asleep to this video last night 💯

[@SluggishGA]

Great video, but noticing how at 9:55 , you can hear an among us melody in the background as Amoonguss is shown. I can't escape

[@Shamazya]

Ohhhh you could reference the connection between sleep and memory with a move that lets you copy an opponent's move after completing a cycle. Or maybe an ability that boosts a stat based on the the moves the opponent used between cycles. Like increased physical defense or increased special defense.

[@lambo3844]

I just woke up but the background song sounds similar when hes talking about spores

[@caritahearts2405]

Can I make a design suggestion? It would be really cool if the moon on Slothsom's belly went through "phases" that made it look like an eye opening and closing, kinda like Jirachi

[@boobaboo6197]

I think it'd be cute if slothsoms moon pattern changed into the four phases of the moon 🌑🌒🌕🌔

[@tsitra360]

2 of my friends got a shiny in Sleep, still waiting for mine, heh

[@radiocats833]

Love the among us music while amoonguss was on screen

[@volzuloof]

Slothsom my beloved

[@marcelomelo9977]

I think it would be better gameplay-wise if each stage activate whenever you go in-and-out from battle instead of based of turns, it would still be hella gimmicky but i think it would be way more consistent Banger design though

[@nightydays]

I would love to see a video about physical vs special move differences within a type. The best example I think is the flying type. The physical attacks are basically"bird" type attacks, while special attacks are more akin to "wind magic" in traditional RPGs. It would definitely explain why some flying type Pokémon can't actually fly, as they're using 'wind magic' so to speak. I think it's a really interesting design, and one not talked about very often. Similarly for fighting types, physical attacks are punches and kicks as expected, while special attacks are reminiscent of dragon ball style Chi or Aura type attacks. Special normal moves are often just sound attacks too. Anyway, love the videos!

[@Shamazya]

Slothsom is a great concept! Hope it's able to pan out mechanically. You might want a move that it learns at a higher level that lets it jump to a different stage in the cycle. Or let's it lock it into the current cycle for a number of turns.

[@Minymonkey]

I came here for reviews on pokemon sleep, not an entire lecture on how I sleep, but hey Im always down to learn

[@quantumtwinspark283]

no fucking way you put among us drip in the amoongus segment lmao

[@mohamedrayanekaddouri3626]

Slothsom is an amazing design !!! Is it potentially broken if it has a good move selection ? Yes, but it’s so coooool

[@bluemanblue2316]

Heck yeah! Sleep

[@doodleplayer4014]

Wait. Since I don’t sleep enough, and a part of sleep is helping store your memories… Is that why my memory is so bad?

[@GalactaKiller]

Aaaah, a new creature I see !

[@nickballard9856]

STEMA creature idea: A normal gohst type cat that is named after Schrödingers cat and quantum superposition

[@brigittealyassirie299]

I would make a ability that if slothsom hit with sleep he would go to deep sleep mode and start healing so that it's riskey to put slothsom To sleep.

[@andrewarestegui]

Slothsom is awesome 🌙

[@deji_ace]

This mon gonna be op asf

[@sli9343]

I looked through my chemistry notebook for some pokemon ideas Chemical and physical changes- maybe some small baby normal type pokemon that has 2 evolutions, one of them is a physical change and it gets a fighting type and basically just becomes bigger and stronger, but the other evolution is a chemical change and it gets a psychic or poison type and completely changes color, size, and maybe even different animal Steel wool- maybe a sheep with wool made out of steel, but could have an evolution were if you learn some electric or fire type move it burns like how steel wool does and gains fire type Periodic table- this is my most complex idea, a pokemon with LOTS of different forms of the elements like gold, oxygen, or chlorine, probably not all elements, but most of the relevant ones, and certain ones can be combined together like sodium and chlorine to make salt, and would combine their types, for example with the types, chlorine would be poison type and sodium would be steel type, but when combining dangerous chemicals like those 2 it turns out to be safe, so it would become rock type

[@aidanpickard5516]

You forgot to include abra who sleeps for like 17 hours a day

[@oslonicl6251]

I don’t put my phone directly next to me it’s on my matters but at least like a few inches away

[@rafiqthecovenscout8788]

What does it mean when 5+ hours of my sleep is slumbering type? Like the line on the graph stays at the bottom unless I wake up/ have dreams(which I barely have)

[@ctrI_w]

I bet people watched this video instead of sleeping
