The bracelet gadget makes it much easier for you to catch in Pokémon GO!
Pokémon GO captivates many players worldwide who suddenly want to be Pokémon trainers. To ease the adventures that aspiring Pokémon trainers will undertake, there is a small gadget available in the Nintendo Online Store that can be attached to the wrist via a bracelet. With the help of LED signals and vibration alerts, the wearer is informed about various events in the game without needing to look at their smartphone.
Pokémon GO Plus – What the gadget can do
With the push of a button, catching Pokémon without having to operate the smartphone not only delights many smartphone batteries but also some trainers. The anticipation for the assistance device priced at €39.99 was so great that it sold out within moments in the Nintendo Online Store. With dimensions of 46mm x 33mm x 17.5mm and weighing 13g, the gadget does not stand out significantly unless an in-game event occurs. The built-in LED and vibration alerts then notify the wearer.
The most important function of the gadget for most trainers is, that you can catch wild Pokémon by pressing the button without actively using the smartphone. However, this currently only works for Pokémon you have already caught. Zubat will no longer annoy you on your phone’s display by flying around your Poké Balls. By the way, your smartphone is still used passively, as the gadget connects via Bluetooth to your phone to allow features like GPS tracking.
Pokémon GO Plus and Android
So far, the “Pokémon GO Plus” gadget is only compatible with iPhones and iOS and not yet available for Android devices. On Nintendo’s store website, it states that they have been “working since July 2016 to make Pokémon GO Plus compatible with smartphones that use Android operating systems.”
Buy Pokémon GO Plus – When will it be available?
The item is not available on the official Nintendo Online Store website. Buyers who were quick enough to secure a copy are supposedly promised to receive it by 31.08.2016 according to the website. Perhaps the developers want to delay the delivery that long to include additional features or make it compatible with other operating systems.
We are already excited to try out the gadget. Will you buy it?
