The Poké Ball Plus offers an entirely new Pokémon experience!

What is Pokémon?

Since 1996, when the first Pokémon role-playing games (RPGs) Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue were released on the Nintendo Game Boy, the series has only continued to grow since that time. In core Pokémon titles, the player assumes the role of the main character, becoming a Pokémon Trainer on a journey in which he or she can encounter the many unique Pokémon that inhabit this world, befriending them and embarking on an adventure together.

Pokémon are wondrous creatures, and there are still many mysteries surrounding them. While some Pokémon live peacefully together with humans, there are also wild Pokémon that inhabit the tall grass, the caves, the seas, and many other natural habitats in this world. Much remains unknown about how they live.

Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition

Pokémon Yellow was a role-playing game released for the Nintendo Game Boy in 1998. It was a reimagining of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue games, in which the player was given Pikachu as their first partner Pokémon, and this Pikachu would follow the player wherever they went in their adventure.

The Poké Ball Plus can be used to play Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! in place of your Joy-Con. Naturally, it has motion controls—but it also lights up with a variety of colors, vibrates, and plays sounds. When you try to catch a Pokémon, you’ll feel it moving inside the Poké Ball. Feel the vibration, watch the lights, and hear the sounds—and if your catch is successful, get a thrill from hearing the cry of the Pokémon you just caught! As a controller, the Poké Ball Plus will bring a new level of fun and realism to these games!

But the Poké Ball Plus does more than just function as a controller. Choose to take one of your favorite Pokémon from these games for a stroll in your Poké Ball Plus, and you can bring it with you as you go about your daily life in the real world. You can spend time with your Pokémon even when you’re not playing Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!—and you’ll be rewarded in various ways when you return them to your game!

Plus, the Poké Ball Plus works as a Pokémon GO Plus. That’s a lot of pluses for one little Poké Ball!

Notes: The Poké Ball Plus will be sold separately and is not included with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! At the time of its release, the Poké Ball Plus will only be compatible as a controller for Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! It cannot be used for other Nintendo Switch software titles.

If you connect your Pokémon GO account to your game, you’ll be able to bring over Pokémon that first appeared in the Kanto region so they can join you in your adventures in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!
That’s not all, though! Something special will be coming to the world of Pokémon GO as well... Look forward to more details coming in future releases!
