A Daily Pokémon Routine

With the announcement of Pokémon Sleep at a particular press conference, it becomes clear that Pokémon can and does pervade into a typical lifestyle. With that in mind, perhaps it would be possible for one to experience a daily routine totally filled with Pokémon. It is not that hard to conceive; Pokémon has just enough of everything that it should be possible to fit in just about everything into a daily routine. And I can see how it might work out.

In the morning, after one wakes up, it may be conceivable that one plays Pokémon Go while exercising or during the morning commute. One's daily affairs might be something that involves wearing something from the Poké Ball Classics line, or the awaited Pokémon Shirts, the latter with a possibly appropriate design regarding the mood for the day. During a break in the middle of the day, it might be time to catch up on the things in Pokémon Duel or Quest, or even Magikarp Jump if time is short.

Socially, during the day it might be possible to meet up with others and have a quick trade or battle in Pokémon Go, perhaps also to demonstrate a few Pokémon figures, cards, and/or other collectibles. These are the things that are usually done on larger scales when there is more time, but for a daily routine, quick ones might just suffice. Also part of that social routine might be enjoying some snacks that may have Pokémon present on its wrapping, which is sure to entertaining even for just a little bit.

After daily affairs are done, then it would be time for the really fun stuff. That could possibly involve a few extended battles in the main series games, or furthering exploration in the Let's Go games. These efforts would be complemented by efforts to prepare for them. If one becomes tired, then it would be time to let someone else do the battling... by way of watching the Pokémon anime. Then it would be time to wrap up unfinished business, possibly in one of the new mobile games like Masters. And when all is said and done, it would be time to sleep and let Sleep do its wonders. And then everything begins again.

This is all completely hypothetical, of course. But the way that Pokémon is today, it's not completely implausible. There are now more various opportunities than ever to include Pokémon in someone's daily routine and therefore lifestyle. It remains visionary to be able to think about it, and once the opportunity presents itself to be realized, then it will truly be a wonderful lifestyle for anyone who is a fan of Pokémon at heart.
