There's a new Pokemon game coming out that rewards you for sleeping, complete with a sleep-tracker that works with 'Pokemon Go.' Here's everything else Pokemon fans have to look forward to.

"Pokémon Masters" is an iOS and Android game that will let players battle against legendary Pokémon trainers from past games.

A new "Detective Pikachu" game is coming to the Nintendo Switch.

The "Detective Pikachu" game released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2016 didn't create nearly as much hype as the new movie, but a sequel is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The full title and release date are still up in the air, but fans can expect to solve new mysteries with Tim Goodman and his Pikachu partner.

The first game ended with a cliffhanger, and the Pokémon Company plans to complete the story in the new game. Fans who saw the movie might already know some of the major twists arriving in the sequel.

The Pokémon Home app will give players an easy way to manage and trade their Pokémon.

Pokémon Home is a cloud service that will let players manage their collection of Pokémon partners across different games and platforms. Dedicated players can import their Pokémon from the classic Game Boy games, "Pokémon Go," or the newest Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch into Pokémon Home for easy access.

Pokémon Home will make it easier for players to trade online as well. The app will integrate with the paid Pokémon Bank service that allows players to store their Pokémon from the 3DS games, providing a simple solution for players who enjoy Pokémon on multiple platforms.

Pokémon Home is expected to launch in early 2020 for iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon Sleep will encourage players to build healthier routines.

Details on Pokémon Sleep are still sparse, but the app will use a new device called the Pokémon Go Plus to monitor your time sleeping and deliver it to the app. The regular Pokémon Go Plus tracks your steps during the day and offers rewards based on the distance traveled, and it looks like Pokémon Sleep will serve a similar purpose.

The popularity of "Pokémon Go" led to some surprising health benefits for players, and its possible that Pokémon Sleep could have a similar effect by helping Pokémon fans build healthier routines.

"Pokemon Sword and Shield" will introduce a new generation of Pokémon on the Nintendo Switch later this year.

Releasing later this year, "Pokémon Sword and Shield" are the latest additions to the main Pokémon series. The Nintendo Switch games will feature new gameplay mechanics, a new region to explore, and of course, dozens of new Pokémon.

Nintendo will release new details on "Sword and Shield" during a Nintendo Direct presentation on June 5, but you can check out everything we know so far until then.
