Original Nintendo Pokemon Go Plus - Compatible with All Devices | Catch Pokemon Easily on the Go | Perfect for Outdoor Adventures and Gaming Enthusiasts

The Pokémon GO Plus brings a new level of ease to the Pokémon GO game. The Plus lets you know when you are near a Pokéstop. You need only to push its button to spin the Pokéstop. Using both vibrations and lights, the Plus will let you know how many items you received at the Stop. The Plus also alerts you to Pokémon sightings. A press of the Plus' button will let you know if you were successful catching the Pokémon.One of the great things about the Pokémon GO Plus is the freedom it provides. Trainers no longer need to keep their eyes glued to their phone's screen. You can tuck the phone away. Using vibrations, the Plus lets you know when to press its button and what you've accomplished by pressing it. There is no need to look at the phone to find out your success with a Pokémon or at a Pokéstop. I will provide more details on the meaning of the Plus’ various buzzing responses toward the end of this review. It's pretty simple.A nice benefit the Plus provides is improved phone battery life. While playing, the Plus lets you place the phone into its standby mode with the phone's display off. The app continues to run in the background, but the phone’s battery drain is reduced. This can make a big difference if you want to continue playing for longer.The Plus will use only one Poke Ball to toss at a Pokémon. If the ball fails, the Plus moves on to alert you to the next item found. If the ball succeeds, you'll receive an extra 50XP since you hit it on your first shot.The Plus tosses Poke Balls, not Great or Ultra Balls, at Pokémon. Fortunately, Poke Balls are commonly awarded at Pokéstops so there are usually plenty of them around. This leaves the more powerful Great and Ultra Balls for conventional catches tossing balls with your phone rather than the pressing the button on the Plus.The Plus uses vibrations to signal when you are at a Pokéstop or have confronted a Pokémon. You don't even have to glance at the Plus for most interactions. A single repeated pulse says you have found a Pokémon. Press the Plus' button to take a shot at it. A Poke Ball will be slung. Three paced vibrations follow. If you get the Pokémon, the response that follows the three vibrations will be five pulses, regularly spaced. If it gets away, you'll receive three very closely spaced quick pulses. The bad or (hopefully) good news is delivered quickly in an easily understood way.Two repeating pulses indicate you are at a Pokéstop. Pressing the Plus' button will spin the Pokéstop and provide the spin's results. Counting the number of vibrations returned indicates how many items you received at the Pokéstop. For instance, if you are awarded three Poke Balls, you will feel three pulses following your press.If you are at a Pokéstop contained in a gym, you'll need to grab your phone and spin the old-fashioned way using the phone. The Pokémon GO Plus doesn't interact with this type of Pokéstop.This game has got people out walking. Because the Plus eliminates the need for constant interaction with a phone, the pace of your walk has the potential to be far more energetic. The result is a healthier, safer, and more rewarding walk. And the bonus is a new level of fun added to the Pokémon GO game.The Pokémon GO Plus is a small, inexpensive, but powerful addition for Pokémon GO game players. If you play the game frequently, you'll find yourself toting the Pokémon GO Plus along regularly.
