One of the most popular questions on Twitter and Reddit right after the trailer reveal was “Can the Poke Ball Plus replace the GO Plus?” Although the trailer was unclear about everything the Poke Ball Plus could do, the device’s website makes it clear that the Poke Ball Plus does function a lot like the GO Plus (hopefully with less bugs…).
Here are the details that have been release so far…
The Pokemon GO Plus device is not perfect by any stretch, but it does help speed the game up and makes distance travelled for egg hatching slightly more accurate (though not much). Hopefully if the Poke Ball Plus has many of the same features, some improvements will have been made, as well.
As long as your Poké Ball Plus is connected to your smartphone and the Pokémon GO app, it will also count your steps so you can hatch Eggs and get Candy for your Buddy Pokémon."
The Poke Ball Plus doesn’t have a release date listed just yet, but it seems likely that it will arrive around the same time Pokemon Let’s Go does in mid November.
There is currently no release date announced for the Poke Ball Plus.
