Functioning as both a Joy-con for catching Pok\u00e9mon in the freshly unveiled console games and as an updated version of the Pok\u00e9mon GO Plus from Nintendo\u2019s mobile game. Players will be able to take a Pok\u00e9mon from either game and transfer it into the device, allowing them to take it into the real world to train it further.<\/p>\n<p>The Pok\u00e9ball Plus will come equipped with LED lights, HD Rumble, and a speaker to transmit the noises the Pok\u00e9mon inside is making. Speaking about the new peripheral, Junichi Masuda\u2014director of Game Freak\u2014had this to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p>One of the things we noticed from the Pok\u00e9mon plus device with <em>Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> is that kind of lighting up when you\u2019re catching a Pok\u00e9mon, having an LED light up and flash, was kind of an exciting element for a lot of players. So, we made sure to incorporate that in the Pok\u00e9ball Plus, so in addition to the HD rumble and the lighting up, it does make it feel like you\u2019ve caught a pok\u00e9mon and it\u2019s going in the ball.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>No price has been announced for this yet, but it\u2019s a fairly safe bet that there will be some sort of bundle deal with this and the new games.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Will you be making use of this? What do you think of the new games?
