If you are a lover of Pokémon Go, you will have to wait a little longer for the launch of new wearable Plus accessory. The Pokémon Go Plus wearable was scheduled to begin shipping by early July 2016, but that is not the case anymore.

However, users need to be more patient because there are some important updates that need to be included on the new device before it is launched. The tweet went ahead to explain that game lovers will finally have access to the new accessory in September 2016. This is only a few weeks from now. The delay is crucial because it will see an important app on the accessory updated. According to a trusted source, Nintendo America decided to delay the launch of the anticipated new accessory so that they can have more time to update some app. This app will be in a position to sync the gadget. After all, the delayed launch is worth it and users should expect an improved Pokémon Go Plus. This means that when the Pokémon Go launches in September, it will be much better and many people will love it.

In addition, the wearable will come with an extra feature installed on the game. According to Nintendo America spokesman, the extra dimension will take over the world. According to him, the additional dimension will be notifying the player when there is a Pokémon nearby. It will do so by flashing and vibrating. This is an excellent feature that every Pokémon player should look up to. There is a push button located at the ball’s top that will enable Pokémon seekers to throw some virtual poke ball in order to catch all of them.
About the design, the Plus resembles a poke ball. Additionally, it is in a position to perfectly pair with the Smartphone of the player using a Low Energy Bluetooth. The player does not have to use their Plus wearable in order to play. However, this does not imply that the player does not have to have eyes focused on the display of their phone. If they fail to focus on the display of their Smartphone all the time, they might miss to catch the Pokémon.

For this reason, if you are eagerly waiting for the accessory maybe you should make your pre-order. It sold quickly and this prompted people to sell their ‘Pokémon Go Plus guaranteed delivery’ gadgets by almost ten times the price they had initially bought from EBay. However, the fact that there are no any Pokémon Go Plus devices that have been shipped just yet, even the individuals that paid high prices for the device must remain patient until the device is launched in September.

According to Nima Shams the ODG deputy president, a number of people love avid games while others love Pokémon.
