Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy is releasing a Poké Ball digital pet toy so you’ll be able to fulfill your desires of carrying your favourite Pokémon round with you all over the place. I do not know the way this one slid below my radar when it was introduced on the finish of August (maybe as a result of all my consideration has been on Tamagotchi Paradise) however now that I’ve seen it, I should have it. Whereas it seems to be a Japan-only launch, the product web page reveals it should have an English language possibility within the menu. Pre-orders are open (although at the moment offered out on Amazon Japan), and the machine will ship on October 11, in keeping with Important Japan.
The toy prices ¥7,480 or about $51 — however I shudder to assume how a lot that quantity will soar with tariffs factored in. Per the itemizing, there are seven associate Pokémon you’ll be able to look after: Pikachu, Eevee, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, Lucario and Sylveon. And should you pet the machine, they’re going to react. There are additionally 150 different Pokémon to work together with, although it is unclear what the extent of these interactions shall be past battles (and… washing?). Regardless, l hope Wooper is considered one of them.
