‘Pokemon Go Plus’ Latest News & Update: Wearable Comes With More Features Than What Was Expected, Can Catch New Pokemon and Activate PokeStops

"Pokemon Go" has truly revolutionized the way of smartphone gaming as it has drawn people to parks, murals, monuments and more to catch and battle their Pokemon. However, this has been quite a hassle for some since it is not easy at all times to bring out a smart phone and tap on it till a rare Pokemon is caught or until one wins in battle.

Fortunately, no other than The Pokemon Company itself has come up with a brilliant solution to this problem by introducing their wearable "Pokemon Go Plus." The BitBag reported that this cool new wearable device can be worn as a bracelet or as a pin on clothing. While many people have been initially skeptical about its functionality, they will be surprised about its cool features which many did not see coming.

One very useful feature for this device is that it tracks the distance needed to hatch Pokemon Eggs and for Pokemon Buddies to be able to collect candies. When this wearable accessory was first introduced, nothing was said about it having GPS functionality which made some fans disappointed. Fortunately, game developer Niantic Labs recently confirmed through its official Twitter account that the "Pokemon Go Plus" can track the distance required without the use of a smartphone.

Another useful feature in which the "Pokemon Go Plus" was built around is that a player can catch Pokemon with it alone. It had been revealed earlier that players cannot catch Pokemon which they have not caught before with this accessory, which disappointed a lot of players. Luckily, all that has been scrapped and it has already been confirmed that the accessory will allow a player to catch Pokemon that he or she has not encountered before.

Forbes reported that the "Pokemon Go Plus" buzzes when a player gets near a Pokestop and once the button is pressed, it will buzz for each item received. It buzzes in a more profound manner when Pokemon appear nearby and when a player presses the button to catch a Pokemon, the light will flash red or green. This, however, is not a good way of obtaining high CP Pokemon as it would still be better to walk around with a cellphone.
