This new Pokémon accessory will be usable on the new Pikachu and Eevee Let's Go Switch games. It has an analog stick and a button either on top or you can press in the analog stick in to perform an action properly and a motion sensor among other things. You can take Pokémon along with you using it like a Pokewalker and it's also compatible with Pokémon GO.

What's your thoughts? Do you think sharing your Pokémon obsession with others will help you get friends or enemies? Will you annoy your friend by constantly making noise with it or wake people up? Do you want this but with a different design? What do you think this will cost alone?

It's... okay. I won't get it because it's just a replacement for the Joy-Cons that can make sounds. However, there are definitely people that want it, just not me... It's design looks pretty good.
 
I know a ton of people who will buy this, but it will be mainly for cosplay purposes. Sure there's a ton of pokeballs out there, but none of them are gonna have someone's Pysduck making a noise while you move/shake it. It's a novel idea in that sense , but it should do well. I think I saw people saying this might be $50, so yeah that seems like a lot for this. However it won't have any trouble selling.

If its less than a joycon then it would be a great deal, but that is unlikely
 
It's fine but not great if you don't like 1 hand controllers. It's also might not be able to replcre your existing Joycons since it's lack of buttons. It's great Pokémon fans that have the Let's Go Games but I am not a Pokémon fan, or getting the game.
 
When I saw it in the trailer the other day, I thought it was pretty neat. Um, I probably wouldn't take and use it out in public, Just in case people laugh or something. It's a nice step up from the PokeWalker.

Would it be loud enough to annoy/wake someone up, Though? It's just a few Pokemon noises. Unless it turns out be some sort of alarm. xd

I'd like it to come in a range of Pokeball designs (Ultra, Master, Lure, Nest). That would be pretty cool. Having a variety of designs is more likely to draw potential buyers in.

As for pricing, I think it'll be at least £30. I hope it doesn't end up being too expensive because that might put me (Or others off) from getting one.
 
I've been looking forward to a Pokewalker like device for quite sometime, so imma get it :3
 
This is definitely cool, and I think I'd like to have one just as a collector's item, even if I don't decide to get Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. It'd be really cool if they added more functionality to it, perhaps with the next core-series game coming to the Switch?
In terms of price, I doubt it will cost as much as a regular joycon. Even $50US sounds like a lot. I hope it will be less, but I'd estimate $35-$40.
