What is a Pokemon Go Plus?
- It can be worn as a bracelet, a necklace or as belt clip-on
- It makes catching Pokemon and collecting Poké Balls, Pokémon Eggs and other items at PokéStop locations way easier. Instead of having to take out a mobile device to make catches, the wearer just has to click a button
- It's a bright red plastic toy; it's not really a chic fashion accessory
