The long wait is over. Pokemon Company is now releasing Pokemon GO Plus. The newest accessory offers an exciting new dimension to the world-famous game. Users do not only have real-time Pokemon experience but they will have a chance to wear them too. Pokemon GO Plus allows its fans to conveniently wear a device making Pokemon gaming more easy and fun.
The Pokemon GO Plus is an accessory that works by notifying the players that a Pokemon is within the area. It vibrates and lights up to alert the player. Once alerted, the Pokemon seeker then pushes the button on the ball. They can also throw a virtual Pokeball to catch all Pokemons nearby.
"As you pass by a Pokestop, you'll even be able to collect new items just by clicking the Pokemon GO Plus," as explained by its maker Niantic. "If there's nearby Pokemon hiding in your area, you'll be alerted with lights and vibrations; catch the Pokemon with a button on Pokemon GO Plus and then continue on your way." he added. You can do all of these without even having to open the app on your smartphone.
The Pokemon GO Plus can be connected to your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth.
The newest device is now available for pre-order with shipping on September 16 in U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. South American countries will have a later release date.
Pokemon GO plus can be ordered through U.K. Nintendo Online stores for 34.99 pounds ($46). The announcement however did not include prices for U.S. orders.
The game accessory has been originally opened for pre-orders on June when its official pricing was announced. The initial shipping dates were set supposedly in July. However, the device quickly ran out of stock in stores. People then started selling their pre-orders on Ebay for almost ten times the original price.
Pokemon GO Plus may just be what is needed to reduce the many accidents occuring because of the distractions while playing the game. A wearable accessory will mean that the gamers can play even without opening the app and using their phones.
To date, all the Pokemon GO players are most certainly anticipating how this addictive game will evolve in the coming months.
