play the uber-popular Pokémon Go while you maintain your interactions with the world. It is a wearable gadget that can quietly alert you to nearby Pokémon.
The Pokémon Go Plus released on September 16, and so far, it's exactly a dead-simple way of catching Pokémon.
You wear it like a wristband, or pin it to your pocket, purse, lapel or sleeve. It easily pairs with your compatible iPhone or Android phone over a Bluetooth Low Energy connection, and connects to the Pokemon Go application. Then, instead of constantly pulling out your phone to scan for Pokemon, you just walk around town like a normal human being.
Whenever you stumble across a
Pokemon, the Go Plus lights up and vibrates instead. Press that green light-up button, and without
needing to pull out your phone the game will automatically throw a Pokèball to try to catch it for you. (Just so long as you've caught a
Pokémon of that type before.) Nice, strong, distinct patterns of vibrations let you know whether you've caught or missed the Pokémon, even if you're keeping the Go Plus in a pocket. If you walk past one, the device lights up blue. Press it, and you can harvest the same items (balls, potions, berries) that would have been waiting for you if you'd activated it from within the game.
The Plus also keeps track of your steps (which count towards hatching eggs). If you walk out of range of your smartphone (roughly 30 feet, or 10 meters), it'll vibrate and light up red to let you know you left your phone behind. the included button battery (a standard CR2032 cell) should
last about 100 days on average.
