All Hail The Almighty Pokémon Go Plus

The wearable device is finally within our reach. But is it too little, too late?

The Pokémon Go Plus wearable accessory is finally within our reach, with a release date of September 16th in most regions.

The device is simple in design- it's a Pokéball in the shape of a map pin. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth. It allows for players to not be staring endlessly at their phones, waiting for Pokémon to spawn. However, the device won't vibrate if there is a Pokémon around that you have not caught yet, meaning if you're on the search for a specific Pokémon, you'll have to use your phone instead of the pin.

The device vibrates when you are near a Pokéstop, but you will have to whip out your phone to collect the items manually.

But is it too little, too late?

If the wearable accessory was available during the initial release of Pokémon Go, players may have been more receptive to the idea, and more willing to fork over the $45 CAD. Sources have found that there has been a steady decline in the number of active daily users, dropping from 45 million to 30 million. 30 million daily users is a hard number to wrap your head around, but that is still a significant drop.

Pokémon Go Plus' availability will vary by region, but in Canada it is available to order at Amazon, EB Games and Toys R Us.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
