Pokemon GO Plus Launches On September 16

The wearable device that lets players interact with Pokemon GO without looking at their smartphone, Pokemon GO Plus, will launch on September 16th. Compatible with both iOS and Android (Here’s the full compatibility list), Pokemon GO Plus connects to smartphones via Bluetooth low energy and notifies players about nearby Pokemon and PokeStops. When a Pokemon is near, the device will vibrate and its LED will flash green. Players can press the button on the device once close to throw a PokeBall. A successful catch will result in the device flashing and vibrating. The Pokemon GO Plus device will vibrate and flash blue whenever in range of a PokeStop, allowing players to receive items with a simple tap of the Pokemon GO Plus button. Pokemon GO Plus can also be used while Pokemon GO is running in the background on smartphones.
