A Japanese video game walkthrough listing sleeping pills as one of their recommended methods to get high scores in Pokémon Sleep has gone viral on Japanese Twitter recently. The mention of sleeping aid has since been deleted from the site.

I tried Pokemon Sleep and I didn't like it. It's way more complicated than it needs to be. It's very much a typical mobile game, with lots of meters, currencies, timers, login rewards, etc. And it doesn't make any sense. Why do I need to feed a snorlax to make it bigger? What exactly is my sleep doing? Does the snorlax represent the player, even though the player is clearly a separate entity from the snorlax? Why should I care about friendship meters? It's all ridiculous.

I guess the alternative could have been " let this Munna feed on your dreams" but it might have been too creepy for most.
