Poké Ball Plus

The Poké Ball Plus is a video game controller based on a Poké Ball, a device used in the Pokémon fictional universe to catch Pokémon. It was developed and manufactured by Nintendo and released on November 16, 2018. The controller is compatible with the video games Pokémon GO, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and Pokémon Sword and Shield. It substitutes the ball's button for an analog stick that can be pressed inwards to function as the A button, while a hidden button atop the ball acts as the B button. It also contains motion sensors to simulate throwing the ball, HD Rumble feedback, and LEDs and speakers to mimic a Pokémon being caught. It has further functionality as a Pokémon GO Plus, allowing players to catch Pokémon without using their phone directly. The legendary Pokémon Mew is included digitally with every Poké Ball Plus. The controller received positive reviews from critics, who highly recommended it to fans of the franchise due to its high quality, despite its lack of functionality elsewhere.
