Meanwhile, Pokemon Go Plus primary features are being able to spin a PokeStop whenever one is close by and catching a creature without pulling out their smartphone. Both the features has its own set of cons and pros.

For instance, Pokemon Go Plus does not specify what kind or type of creature is nearby. Moreover, players cannot choose what kind of ball their trainer is going to use to capture a Pokemon.
