What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today
we're going to talk about if the pokeball plus accessory is worth it just
just for the record this is not a pokeball plus this is a poker ball
stress ball that I got it III but at e3 I got to mess around with the pokeball
plus so I want to give you my overall thoughts about it first of all it is
100% a paywall getting the pokeball plus includes the mythical Pokemon Mew and
that is the only way to get mu and Pokemon let's go Pikachu and let's go
Eevee at this current time there is no way to transfer your mutant Pokemon go
into Pokemon let's go I don't know if they're gonna change that in the future
they may not so if you are a completionist and you want to do all 151
master trainers you're gonna need the pokeball plus the pokeball plus is a
little bit bigger than this I'd say it's about yay big hang on
do I have okay it's it's bigger than this but it's smaller than this actually
this pokeball I don't know why I have so many
pokeballs just lying around my room this is actually pretty accurate of this size
it's it's slightly larger because I have tiny girl hands or kid hands whatever
you want to say yeah it's about this size you're gonna
end up holding it like this your bottom two fingers are gonna rest it up and
then also has a strap on it I'm probably gonna have pictures on screen here the
top of it is a joystick so that's how you move around I believe you could also
click it in and then there is one button on the front here between the button
accessing the menu choosing your options going back and then pushing in to select
navigating through a few things one it's weighted so it's not super
light which is good because if you're gonna be using this to catch pokemon
you're gonna want to throw it just like this in order to catch pokemon you need
to throw straight you can't throw it crooked like if you're sitting in a
gaming chair you have a tendency to go like this and that throws curveballs and
buy curveballs I don't mean that they're gonna
and then land in the middle I mean they're gonna go to the side so it's
super important that you throw it completely straight and some people were
saying that doing that instead of the joi con which has already straight sheep
is more difficult I didn't think it was this game does have a learning curve
there is one hundred percent on learning curve to learning exactly how you have
to throw it you have to throw it straight even if you know how to throw
it straight there's gonna be times and you kind of doze your arm off to the
side you're gonna throw your pokeball over here and you're gonna lose your
your bonus for a perfect throw for four first pokeball thrown you need to get in
the habit of throwing it completely straight the Reds is abundant right
there so yeah like that next thing I want to talk about is yes you do get to
put a Pokemon inside of there you can take Moo output Pokemon in there it's
cool and then you get to walk around with it IRL so as you're walking around
town or on your commute to work or when you're driving or anything else you have
a pokeball attached to your pocketbook backpack carabiner for your keys
whatever you want probably not that the keys would scratch it up if you pass a
Pokemon go Pope it actually spins it for you and you get the items which is
pretty dope as it says here on the Nintendo pressroom website connect the
pokeball plus two Pokemon Go app to catch pokemon in the real world and
gather items from polka stops without viewing your smartphone screen meanwhile
carrying Pokemon from let's go Pikachu or Eevee this does act like a Pokemon go
Plus right that's the name of that thing that never sold anywhere the Pokemon go
Plus that it didn't automatically spin the Pokemon stops for you this doesn't
say that it automatically does it either I don't know if there's a button you
have to hit to activate it there's also an LED so this area right here in
between the circle this area is a bright LED that closed certain colors during
the game I assume it's also gonna glow certain colors when you're passing poke
a stops that way you know if you need to actually activate it or if it's just
gonna get the items for you that information wasn't released yet and then
also whatever Pokemon that you bring in here and walk around with I believe
you're going to get candy for that and candy is how you level up
your Pokemon stats not their actual level how you raise their CP it's the
equivalent of IV training in this game wait no individual values effort values
Eevee training in this game there we go instead of knocking out one Pokemon like
knocking out a Rattata to gain effort values in speed right that's how that
works yeah instead you're going to be using
speed candy which sounds really weird as an adult thinking about the idea of
speed candy it's probably what they warned you about Halloween that kids are
getting now the pokeball Plus is $50 MSRP at Target Best Buy Walmart Game
Stop etc if you get it with the game it's $99 for the game and it's so 99
minus 60 that's $39 so you save 10 bucks which is pretty cool do you need it you
only need it if you need Mew if you want to do all 151 master trainers or if
you're a Gen 1 or like me and you want that new experience then yes I don't
know exactly at what point in the game you're gonna be able to transfer a
Pokemon from the pokeball plus into the game it may be when you activate your
communications which I believe is it's probably gonna be either once you hit
pewter city or after you deliver oakes parcel after one of those events it may
be the time that communications is open allows you to trade and everything else
I imagine that at the time that the pokeball plus would be active
alternatively which is less likely when you go to poke it poke a go park or I
think it's just called go park when you go to go park that's in fuchsia city the
same place that the safari zone was previously located at and there that's
when you get to transfer Pokemon Krum Pokemon go into the game so and so forth
so we don't know if it's going to be a beginning a game thing or if it's a mid
game thing if it's a beginning game thing and I'm gonna
then subscribe and you'll know I'll be sure to mention it that means that
potentially this Mew is gonna be low level there might be level 5 and only no
pound if so you're starting your game with a Mew and that's amazing
I literally before I started doing tips and tricks I did let's play or or a
theorized on doing a let's play that my starter was new and it was it was the
coolest idea ever but to know that that's legitimately how you're gonna be
able to play that's so great so great of course me being number 151 out of 153 in
the Pokemon let's go Kanto Dex Melton and Mel metal being the
other two after 151 one more thing before we end
but we do have one more thing the right joy counting the left joy con are not
the same controller it's the reason they're very different not only shape
there's a whole bunch of more things in here I've taken these apart I did the
atomic purple controllers there's a lot more stuff in this and it's been
acknowledged that there's sort of an issue with the antenna now any time that
I played Mario Party I use the left joi con because it was more accurate also I
like how the thumb stick is located there instead of slightly off centered
this game if you're a righty you're probably gonna want to play with the
right joi con for that this needs to be in direct view of the Nintendo switch I
literally just did a video on where mice which was located that's when I'm using
my pro controller for you to use the right joy con with your switch in docked
mode it needs to be in a direct view there can't be any wires or electronics
in the way the wires from the console need to run behind it needs to be like a
direct view because that thing gets so much communication interruption because
of the weak antenna on the right joi con if you're in a position that you cannot
have your Nintendo switch in a direct view non obstructed to your right joi
con you're going to have communication problems which your alternatives for
this are use your left joi con or you spoke of
all plus the poker ball plus I assume that they fix the antenna it's gonna be
a lot better of reception because Bowl also it's gonna be a lot larger of an
item with a lot less stuff in there the batteries probably gonna be great
all Nintendo controllers have a really fantastic battery life it is a
rechargeable lithium ion using a USB see the same thing that everything else for
the Nintendo switch does it's also worth mentioning that if you did get the full
Nintendo switch bundle okay yeah if you do get the Nintendo switch bundle you
are still paying 399 so you're paying for the switch itself and then you're
also playing for the game and then you get $10 off of the pokeball plus so no
matter what it's not gonna be cheaper than $40 from a bundle or $50 just
buying it individually that's gonna be wrapping up this video on do you need
the pokeball plus to play let's go sure let's go Evie do you need it in
your life I'm happy that this wasn't the hard plastic one is it just hit me in
the face cuz if you enjoyed the video be sure to leave a like we are doing
spoiler free videos before the release so don't not worry don't worry if you're
new to the channel be sure to subscribe turn on notifications until next time
