## Overview

The Nintendo Pokémon GO Plus is a Bluetooth-enabled accessory compatible with any smartphone running Pokémon GO. It vibrates and lights up to alert players of nearby Pokémon and PokéStops, allowing quick interaction via a single button press. This device enhances gameplay by enabling hands-free catching and item collection, making it perfect for busy, on-the-move players aiming to maximize their in-game progress without constantly checking their phones.

## Description

The Pokemon GO Plus accessory can be used with any compatible smart phone that has the Pokemon GO application installed. After the Pokemon GO Plus is paired via Bluetooth LE and a brief setup process is completed, players can encounter and catch Pokemon like never before. When the smart phone with Pokemon GO and the paired Pokemon GO Plus accessory are within range of each other, both will begin to vibrate when a Pokemon is close by. With the convenience of not having to look at your smart phone, simply press the button on the Pokemon GO Plus to attempt to catch a Pokemon while you are out and about.

Review: I'm on level 38...couldn't have done it without the Plus! - My son was home from college last summer and started playing on Day One. He's such a die-hard, he attended the CHICAGO FEST. I first got my first Android on October 23, 2016 and downloaded this app. I was on a special diet and trying to increase my weight loss by walking, but even using my fitbit didn't prompt me to get outside. Walking is so boring! Playing Pokemon Go with the truly fabulous Plus helped me lose 85 lbs and reach Level 38 in just 9 months. I'm very competitive but also very social and I've made a lot of friends on my jaunts all around Milwaukee. The beauty of the Plus bracelet is that it will spin the Pokestops and throw a ball at every Pokemon while you are walking a Lucky Egg and evolving Pidgeys and hatching eggs. You can use the Plus while you walk briskly and you don't even have to look at your phone. I pull the bracelet tight and wrap it around my fingers so it fits in my palm. Every time it buzzes/vibrates, I just squeeze my fingers to press the button. For Pokemon, it flashes green and gives 2 staggered buzzes; for Pokestops, it flashes blue and gives a long/short buzz so you can feel which it is without even looking at the Plus. But since it only throws 1 Pokeball with no berries, if I really want that Eevee or Magicarp, I just throw an Ultra ball and Pinap Berry myself. You know how you want to play while someone is driving? (NEVER play with your phone while YOU are driving.) Even with lots of stoplights, you catch or spin maybe 20% successfully? Well, with the Plus, the rate increases to maybe 50% and it's safe to do because you're just pressing a button on your wrist without taking your eyes off the road. Yes, sometimes when I press the little icon on the screen, it won't sync with my phone immediately. If it keeps acting up, I close out the app, turn it on and try it again. If it still won't work, after about 4 tries, Niantic puts up a message asking if I want to go to its Troubleshooting screen. Now I've learned just to go into Settings, click on the Plus icon and press the button on the Plus. I've only experienced continued problems with syncing maybe a half dozen times. And it usually shuts off by itself every 45 minutes or so. But compare that with how many times the game itself crashes, reloads, freezes, or displays "no internet connectivity" or "network error." Now THAT'S annoying, it's so common. The Plus enhances your play so much. I visited my sister but forgot it so I purchased 3 more and had them sent to her house so she and her husband and I could all have one. Now I'm purchasing one for my son. How did I level up so quickly? I walk an average of 5 miles a day--I know most people don't have as much time--but I also max out on the special events like Water, Solstice, Fire & Ice, pink (Valentine's Day), Christmas--anything with double XP. I cruised through Level 37 in less than a week by taking advantage of the Anniversary/Fest specials with double XP, catching everything that spawned (obviously the Plus comes in handy here), incubating eggs (3x faster!) and churning evolving on Lucky Eggs. I've gotten to the point that I can time it to hatch as many as a dozen eggs for double XP. Yes, it's annoying to have to buy incubators but I didn't buy anything in the Shop till I needed more space in my Items and Pokemon storage bags. There's a park near me that has 8 pokestops and a gym which takes only about 5 minutes to walk around. I had to rev up to 1500 Items because I kept hitting the max...in the past few months, I had to delete hundreds of Pokeballs, Potions and, yes, even Revives! I introduce myself as a friendly Mystic and have made a lot of friends and learned a lot of tips from other players. There is no gym that I can't take down on my own and out of 9 Legendary Raids, I caught a Lugia and 3 Articunos! And a Shiny Magicarp!!
Review: Strongly consider adventure sync - This is great for those of us without the ability to keep their smartphone in their pocket, however, if you're able to keep your smart phone with you all day, this isn't all that useful. If you're wanting to forgo the Pokemon go plus, enable Adventure Sync and set up your Google/apple/Samsung fitness app to sync the steps to your game. Niantic provides resources if you need help. So I've established that you can easily count steps on your phone without having to buy this but the Pokemon go plus offers one feature thats exclusive to the Pokemon go plus, PokeBall go plus, and unauthorized 3rd party devices (basically does the same thing but has some "cheats" built in) is that you can interact with the game by pressing the button when prompted with vibrations and colored lights. Most importantly you can catch Pokemon with this feature. The Pokemon catching feature seems to work like kind of a coin flip. You either catch it or it instantly runs away. This feature only used standard aka red PokeBalls. This rats through your balls FAST and may have you playing the game more than you like (trying to spin stops and complete research missions) or have you dumping money into the game every 2-3 days. The Pokemon go plus also allows you to spin pokestops without having to open your game. This is often not super optimal. I use it when I'm trying to catch massive groups of Pokemon from lures and incense. That's really all it's good for. You can spin a stop every 5 minutes but sometimes it could be 6-7 minutes before you get a buzz. With modern smart phones there's new versions of Bluetooth (some experimental) that don't play very nicely with this device. I use a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and also a OnePlus Nord n10. Both devices had issues staying connected and would drop after 40-60 minutes. It was meant to help me make sure my steps were counted while I worked, but it ended up being a big hassle. Most android devices do allow you to change what Bluetooth version protocol you're using in the developer settings, but this didn't really do anything for me. If you do care about the catching feature the 3rd party devices will basically "press" the button for you automatically. Tl;Dr don't buy this unless you care about the catching feature or you think it's cool. There's a reason Niantic hasn't made new ones and it's likely because they're more focused on Adventure Sync.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If the game is released in july why is the plus pre order coming out in dec?**
A: GameStop in SC said July 26,2016 is when the plus will be available

**Q: Is always being connected to this device via Bluetooth going to murder my battery?**
A: It uses Bluetooth low energy which really shouldn't have all that much of an affect. I use a Pebble Time every day, which makes me always have my Bluetooth toggled on, and it really doesn't die substantially faster to the point where I find it too much. 

Short answer, no, it won't 'murder' your battery, but it'll have a slight effect on it.  (That is of course not taking into account whether this device will actively keep your phone's GPS tracking you.  In that case, it might have quite an impact.  We just don't know how this thing really works yet till it comes out)

**Q: How much is it?**
A: In reality $34.99, but thanks to those **** scalpers it's whatever crazy price they come up with.
Don't bother with this listing till the next official batch.
No-one should buy from those people, it just encourages them to continue.

You can also try gamestop, some might have a couple left in stock (that's what I'm planning to try to do this afternoon :)).

**Q: why is pokemon go plus priced so high**
A: This is a scam seller scalping people because the preorders are unavailable. That's why it's priced high. The real thing only costs 29.99-39.99.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm on level 38...couldn't have done it without the Plus!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to set up your game!
*by G***L on September 19, 2016*

Okay, I know these things are hard to find and people still have a lot of questions about how they work so I'll try to cover it all! If you want my opinion regarding whether or not you should buy it without reading my whole spiel, the simplest way to answer that is: It depends. Is it worth paying more than retail for it? No. Is it worth retail price if you play Pokemon Go all the time? Probably. What it CAN do - In short, it can hatch eggs, earn buddy candy, collect goodies from Pokestops and catch (some) Pokemon. It tracks your distance traveled, but you need to keep your phone near you. It utilizes existing bluetooth technology, so you still need to keep your phone fairly close for it to work. The app needs to be running in the background, but your phone can be locked, saving tons of battery life. What it CAN'T do - Technically it CAN catch rare and high CP Pokemon, but its very very very unlikely. It only uses regular Pokeballs and it only tries to catch them once. If it fails, the Pokemon flees. You don't get another chance. How many times have you successfully caught a rare or high CP Pokemon in one throw with a regular Pokeball? Nuff said. It's build quality is actually pretty good given that it's designed for "kids." It feels very solid and the light is pretty bright in normal light. The button feels nice, not at all cheap, and it's very responsive. The bracelet is what it is, a woven bracelet with a plastic clasp. It's not the coolest looking bracelet, but it's highly adjustable. As an adult female, I have to cinch it almost all the way down to keep it snug so it doesn't slide around. It's about double the size of my wrist at it's biggest. You shouldn't have any issue with it fitting you unless you're a Snorlax. Despite it having a plastic latch, the way it's designed prevents it from falling off. You have to loosen it and slide it over your wrist to take it off, so no worries that it's going to open and fall off. You can also choose to use it as a clip and put it wherever you want. I've seen people wearing them as a clip on rubber bracelets. I can't speak to how secure this it, but the option is there. You probably want to keep it somewhere close to your skin so you can feel the vibrations, so it probably won't be very beneficial if you keep it in a purse or loose pocket as the vibration is not strong enough to detect unless it's touching you. Setup was super easy. The whole process took only minutes each, and I set up three of them. It comes attached to the clip, though attaching it to the bracelet requires a small screwdriver. This is the same way you would change the battery, which looks to be a larger watch battery, a CR2032. Once you've decided if you're going clip or bracelet, you're ready to pair it. First, make sure your bluetooth is turned on. It will need to remain on any time you want to play with the Plus. Now, all you need to do is open your Pokemon Go app, click on the Pokeball at the bottom of the screen to access your options, and click settings in the upper right. There's a new option for Pokemon Go Plus here. If you don't see the option, you need to update your app either in iTunes or the Google Play store. If you do see the option, just click it and once there, push the button on your Plus. It will blink a couple times and should almost immediately appear in your app. Just tap it and you're done. Very simple! i did have one minor issue with one of the devices I set up, but after restarting my phone it paired up just fine. It communicates via the light and vibration. If you're near a Pokemon or Pokestop, it will vibrate. If the light is green, a Pokemon you've already caught is nearby. If it's yellow, it's a Pokemon you've never caught before. If it's blue, you're in range of a Pokestop. Pushing the button will cause it to attempt to catch the Pokemon or collect the goodies from the Pokestop. A rainbow array indicates you've caught the Pokemon while a flashing red light lets you know it failed. You only get one chance and the Pokemon flees, so if you get the yellow light, you probably want to open up your app and catch it the old fashioned way with your more powerful balls. If you push the button at a Pokestop, the light blinks once for each item it collects. It's very simple to use and understand. One question I had was whether or not you can still use the app while using the Pokemon Go Plus. The answer is thankfully yes! When your Plus is paired successfully with your phone, you will see a little icon in the upper left of your game screen. If it's grayed out, it means your Plus got disconnected somehow, probably due to getting too far from your phone. Reconnecting is as simple as pressing the icon in the app and then pressing the button on your Plus when it tells you to do so. When your Plus is connected and ready, the icon is "lit" and will remain on your screen. When a Pokemon is nearby, a line will be drawn from the icon to the location of the Pokemon and a little red circle will appear above it's head. At that point, you can choose to press the button on your Plus to catch it, or you can tap it and catch it like normal. Notifications will pop up in-game letting you know if you were successful or not, and if your phone is locked when you attempt to catch it, you'll get a notification on your lock screen with the same info. For those who actively play the game, I can see using this to collect Pokestops and to catch common Pokemon quickly and efficiently while still using the app. My favorite part of having the Plus is that I can progress in the game during times when I can't normally play, such as when I'm at work or school. Since it tracks your distance traveled without needing the app open anymore, I "play" all day and collect xp, candy and goodies much longer than I can when I'm actually using the app and draining my battery at record speeds. It allows me to play in situations where I can't pull my phone out to play for whatever reason, and I think this is going to be the real draw for a lot of people. It doesn't really enhance the active playing of the game in a way that would justify the purchase price, but it absolutely allows you to progress more quickly simply because you can make progress without actually playing now. You'll still need to actively play within the app to battle, power up Pokemon, transfer extras, evolve, etc, but the mundane parts of the game have now become much quicker and more efficient. Lastly, I know a lot of people are on the fence given how hard these are to find right now and considering the Apple Watch is going to have a very similar app for Pokemon Go. From what we know now, the Apple Watch app will be able to do everything the Pokemon Go Plus can do, except catch Pokemon. You need to open your app to catch all Pokemon. On the flip side, given the Apple Watch's display, it can show you what Pokemon is nearby so you can decide if you even want to try to catch it. It will also show you when your eggs are hatching so you can see what you got in addition to showing you any medals you earn as you receive them. It's really a personal choice as far as which one you want. Keep in mind the Apple Watch has no release date at the time of this review. They've only given us a very vague "late 2016," So you may want to pick up the Plus if you find one at retail to tide you over until the app is released. For Android users, the Plus is your only option right now. I hope this helps you make the decision regarding whether or not you should pick one up! Overall I think it's well worth it for the avid active player, and probably worth it for casuals as well given that it makes the process much less time consuming and more efficient. If you have questions I haven't answered, feel free to drop a comment!
