Pokemon Go Plus or PokeBall Plus – What Should You Buy January 7, 2020

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have announced the year’s first Pokemon Direct video will broadcast on Wednesday at 9:30am EST. That leaves me little time to give my thoughts about which currently available Pokémon Go accessory you should buy!

After Pokémon Go launched, Nintendo released a companion Bluetooth accessory called the Pokémon Go Plus which allowed players to make use of certain Pokémon Go features without having to actively run the app on their device 24/7 without putting it into standby. It cost $35US and uses a 2032 battery. A year ago, Nintendo released a new Pokémon accessory, the PokéBall Plus. It has a price of $50US and functions as a Nintendo Switch Controller (but only for Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee), a PokéWalker, and a Pokémon Go Plus.

What should you buy? Watch below and find out.
