  "account": "The upcoming collaboration between Pokémon Sleep, a sleep tracking app, and luxury hotel chain Not a Hotel will allow travelers to experience sleeping inside a giant Pokéball. This opportunity will be available from September 15, 2026, when a lottery opens for participants to reserve a spot. The Pokéball pod is a large spherical enclosure, shaped like a half-open Pokéball, with a comfortable spherical bed taking up most of its floor space. Interestingly, the design includes a window, although no curtains are visible. The experience will be hosted in Hokkaido, Japan, so visitors should plan accordingly. Those who prefer sleeping in their own homes can also participate. The Pokéball pod will be a temporary installation, and fans can look forward to future Pokémon releases, including Pokémon Winds and Waves, in 2026.",
