    You don't even need to look at your phone all the time. I always look around while I walk. just have your phone in your hand and when your phone vibrates you know a pokemon has spawned.

      there are safety concerns with people walking around with their phones in their hand (pretty sure the theft rate has gone way up since PoGo released), so having PoGo+ does give that added security for people who can walk around safely but not miss on potential catches.

      I can't see anything useful at all with this product. It takes out the fun part of Pokemon, ie seeing what you get from Pokestops, and interacting with the Pokemon you encounter while you're out and about. Just play on your phone without staring at it the whole time. It'll buzz to let you know when something's nearby.

    Short answer: no

    But honestly, an ancillary device like this has a lot of potential and it's a shame that it does as little as it does. That being said, there's a lot to build on, but with such a steep price point, it feels completely underwhelming.

    So walking and hitting Pokestops without having the screen on is a "plus" (pun intended), but it's completely useless for catching Pokemon. I mean I guess it might be good for vlogging if you don't want to hold your phone and camera at the same time, but I'm still on the fence because the functions are so limited.

    You should be able to throw more than just one ball. There should be a pokeball, great ball, ultra ball, and razz berry button. For $35-75, that's what it needs to be worth it for me.

    • @fencefirst2722
      @fencefirst2722 Před 7 lety +49

      yeah .. its dumb.. and how are you supposed to know if there's lures and pokestops? easier to just play

    • @JonathanAdshead
      @JonathanAdshead Před 7 lety +46

      Its useful whilst in transit (going to and from work especially). Also I use it when I going running. So it kind of depends who buys it. I would like a customization feature, that allows you to select which Pokeball should be used for each Pokemon. Like a pre-selection, SO Lapras and Snorlax could be set to Ultraball etc.

    • @DrPlaceholder
      @DrPlaceholder Před 7 lety +10

      Or change the pokeball to simply the highest rated ball in your bag. Throwing an ultra ball would be highest priority.
      Also, they could add in extra incentive, like all Pokemon found using PGP (Pokemon Go Plus) would be stronger than those not found with it, but easier to catch.
      Considering they already released the devices, it will be hard to modify the device (ie upgrade them) without doing a total recall, so changing the way PGP effects gameplay would make more sense.

    • @gnome7963
      @gnome7963 Před 7 lety +5

      You obviously didn't think this through. How would you know if you wanted to use a great ball ultra etc...

    • @DrPlaceholder
      @DrPlaceholder Před 7 lety +5

      Gnome You wouldn't. I'm saying PGP would default to it, in exchange for not knowing what you're catching. It would really push to the idea of "using it to match your style." If you're somebody that doesn't like to stand still, defaulting to the strongest ball you have would be good.
      If you're able to stop and take your phone out to catch a Pokemon, you can do that and use any ball you like.
      As Nick said, it depends on your play style. However, with the way the PGP works now, simply pressing the button is A LOT riskier if you encounter a rare Pokemon. That's where my idea comes into play.

      I would have loved it if you could select what you wanted it to do. i.e. just pokestops and tracking distance and not try to catch stuff. Don't want it wasting pokeballs and missing pokestops because it prioritizes catching over them.

      i'd also like to set it where i have a yellow light for rare pokemon that i've caught before. i'll use the plus to throw a single ball at a pidgey, but i don't want snorlax to be in the same category as pidgey regardless of whether i already have one.

  • @JTSickGaming

    I won't lie, I stopped playing PokemonGO because I got tired of the whole gig - carrying around a GO bag with chargers and power bricks, etc. It was unique and fun for a while, but got old fast. This feature would definitely make me consider coming back, once it's fleshed out and available to the masses. Primarily because of the ability to play with your phone screen off and in your pocket.
    I think they should implement some kind of 'GoPLUS Favorite' system to it, allowing you to track whatever Pokemon you want, with a different color showing up when that particular Pokemon is 'found'.
    Example: When you walk into range of a Pokemon, GoPLUS will flash Green - Yellow for undiscovered Pokemon. If that Pokemon is on your 'GoPLUS Favorite' list, it will flash purple (for the sake of example).
    This way, it doesn't matter if you are a new player, or a veteran - you could tailor your list to warn you of any Pokemon that you will want to take out your phone for.

    1) Since go plus tracks the distance, do you still need to have both data/wi-fi and GPS turned on on your phone?
    2) Does using go plus help alleviate the battery drain problem?
    3) Last one, if you spin a pokestop using the go plus, and stay on the spot for the next 5 minutes, will it vibrate again when you can spin the stop again?

    I have a few questions, If you can answer them:
    - Does it alert you when you're close to a Gym?
    - Does it track movement the same way the app does (by polling your GPS position every minute than "drawing" a straight line) or does it count steps?
    - Does the app running on the background still drains your phone's battery as much as on the foreground?
    - Do you need to lock your phone with the app on the foreground or can you just press the home button and keep using other apps and it still tracks everything? Every youtuber I've seen demonstrated it by just pressing the lock button on their phones with the game running.
    Thanks! XD

      Battery drain is higher because it uses GPS, drain is device dependent, but not nearly as high as with the screen on. Distance tracking is the same, it is no more accurate. You can press the home button and go into other apps. If your device doesn't have much RAM, the app may get recycled (stop running), this sometimes happens on my iPhone 5c. It does not alert you when you're near a gym. I answer a few more questions on my channel.

      Too bad about the battery and movement tracking. I was hoping the Plus was a pedometer and that it would make the movement tracking more accurate.
      And the battery, I kind of figured. The app is still running and using GPS and internet after all. But I was still hoping, for some reason.

    know this was posted 2 years ago but now to my knowledge, you can connect pokemon go to the fitness app in your phone so it will track how much you walk while the app is closed or in the background. You don't need any sort of Fitbit, just the fitness account linked with the same email that you use for Pokemon go. Don't know if this was a recent update or not. I haven't been playing pokemon go too much.

    I would buy this if it was around 10-15 dollars. Why pay $35 just so you don't look like you're lost and don't know how to use Google Maps when you're playing Pokemon out in public. Nintendo will get a lot more money if they decreased the prices by half because more people would be willing to pay 10 dollars over 35.

I've already spent a lot of money to play this game and can no longer be asked to spend more money travelling around to catch pokemon.

    Wanted for poke plus to automatically spin the pokestops, thats the only feature I wanted for this accessory and thought thats how it was going to be. When I go pokemon hunting I'm usually low on balls so I need to go in circles for 30min for those balls. But during the day I walk a lot in near pokestops, but I can't take out my phone for multiple reasons like i'm in a hurry, or something job related or walk with friends who don't play pokemon, etc.

  • @JohnDoe-gu4cq
    @JohnDoe-gu4cq Před 7 lety +86

    I had a feeling it would be a let down. I'm so glad I didn't preorder it because I would have been very disappointed. I'm not interested if I can't even tell what the heck I'm trying to catch. It seems like most good things would have a relatively low success rate, too. Anything you need you are probably unlikely to catch. Anything you are likely to catch is probably just common trash anyway. Might as well just play with the phone so you don't miss anything important.
    I'm also not sure how 35 dollars is worth what you could more or less just do in battery saver mode. That saves battery, too. And when my phone vibrates letting me know there is a pokemon, I always just take out and/or flip my phone to see what it is. And I can still get egg distance holding it upside down or even in my pocket. So it is basically the same damn thing. I guess it let's you hit stops a little better, but is that really worth that money? I'm surprised Nick actually thinks so.

    • @JohnDoe-gu4cq
      @JohnDoe-gu4cq Před 7 lety

      Two Good It glitches sometimes for me. But honestly it works more than it doesn't. Not great but at least you don't pay extra for a very limited device.
      A little advice, though. You are still in most cases probably better off just playing normal and using the money on battery charger to extend your battery life. Heck, I got a flimsy little 5 dollar battery charger that practically doubles my max battery life even without using battery saver mode. And if that doesn't work for you, you can get far better ones for whatever price range you feel comfortable paying. In my case, the 5 dollar charger is sufficient for everything I do. I saved 30 dollars to not miss rare or important pokemon or even the opportunity to try and find them. My point is save that money and use it on a battery charger. You can likely get a pretty decent one for 35 dollars or less and will be far better off in most cases.

      Preston Huntsinger I wouldn't. My regular phone version does everything I need it to do. And as far as extending battery life, I found a 5 dollar batter charger that was sufficient for my needs.Why would I pay double or triple that to have less features or be forced to just use my phone anyway?
      I saved 30 dollars, don't miss out on the opportunity to catch rares, and have plenty of battery life.

    @MaiTai2308 Před 6 lety

    Funny to watch this vid now :) I bought Plus last October, about a year after it was released, and just before I attended Safari. It`s surprising how different it works for most people now. My friends are mostly level 40 now and have their dex full, so you don`t really care what runs away and what doesn`t (I once lost a wild Blissey like this, that was about the only thing I regretted for a few moments). I greatly appreciate the possibility to walk eggs any time. And I consider Plus as an opportunity to catch Pokémon that I normally wouldn`t even bother clicking on. Still, the dust accumulates with time. So for me, It`s a must have once you get tired of the casual gameplay and are more in for raiding and recently, completing quests.

    • @RaySchrantz
      @RaySchrantz Před 7 lety +4

      Right now I'm liking the Asus ZenWatch 3 the most, but that won't be out until October. Though the ZenWatch 2 was pretty good, so I'm expecting it should be about the same performance with a new design.
      The Moto 360 has the best reviews right now. The Gear S2 gives similar performance and looks the most like a normal athletic watch, so if you don't want to attract a lot of attention to it that's a good option. The Gear S3 Classic is going to be a premium like the Moto 360 and will stand out more while still looking like just a normal expensive watch.
      The ZenWatch 2 will give you the biggest screen because it's rectangular instead of circular, it's a pretty good option right now. If you want one that looks more like a normal watch then wait for the ZenWatch 3.
      Watch some reviews on these and see which one has the features and style you like. Those are the major differences between all of these watches.

      I have no idea. Watch a comparison video, there should be quite a few out there. I actually had a hard time finding where to buy even the 42mm version of the 2nd gen. The only option on Motorola's site is the 46mm, which would look too big on my small wrists. Amazon has the best prices for the Moto 360 as far as I've seen.
      I think until reviews come out for the ZenWatch 3, I'm going to plan on getting the Moto 360 2nd gen 42mm. I found it on the Google store for $300 and the metal band for it on Newegg for $55.

  • @benjaminaydlett7785
    @benjaminaydlett7785 Před 7 lety

    Something that I have been doing with my Pokémon Go Plus device is farming stardust, and hatching eggs during the day when I can not focus on the game. I tend to get about 35,000 - 50,000 stardust a day by walking around and going through my daily routine using the Plus every time it pops a notification. That alone has made it worth the money in the long run, also running the app in the background has helped immensely with battery consumption. It is not perfectly implemented but it is a step in the right direction from a gameplay aspect in my opinion.

  • @MidnightSonnet
    @MidnightSonnet Před 7 lety +5

    To me, it seems like the only "useful" aspect of Plus is step counting for eggs and buddies and spinning pokestops. Otherwise, it's not worth $35. You don't know what you're trying to catch, you can only use pokeballs, and the notification on your phone won't even tell you what you've caught or what fled. Hell, it won't even tell you what items you got from pokestops. You still have to open Go to find out all this info. Kinda cheap.
    Yes, it saves battery, which drains WAY faster after the last update, but with the the device's limited capabilities, I'd rather carry around a portable rechargeable battery charger.

    I'm not sure if Niantic made a very profitable deal with Power Bank and battery manufacturers, but my 3000mAh battery that used to last me 8-12 hours (with moderate use of other games), is now completely drained in about 2 hours with Pokemon Go. Absurd.

    Hey awesome video very informative but I have one question what's the battery life like before needing to replace it

    I'm so glad you said it disconnects each time you try to catch a Pokemon manually in game. Now I'll have to reconsider and wait for an update. my main purpose for the plus would be to collect items and track distance and to give me the option of freeing up my hands for cycling and stuff. But I do want to catch Pokemon manually if there's something rare, plus the fact that you lose curve ball and nice throw exp. that plus the fact that the plus is not rechargeable, makes me wonder if it's worth it. Anyway, see how your experience goes.
