"Japanese toymaker Takara Tomy is releasing a Poké Ball virtual pet toy so you can fulfill your dreams of carrying your favorite Pokémon around with you everywhere. I don't know how this one slid under my radar when it was announced at the end of August (perhaps because all my attention has been on Tamagotchi Paradise) but now that I've seen it, I must have it."
"The toy costs ¥7,480 or about $51 - but I shudder to think how much that number will jump with tariffs factored in. Per the listing, there are seven partner Pokémon you can care for: Pikachu, Eevee, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, Lucario and Sylveon. And if you pet the device, they'll react. There are also 150 other Pokémon to interact with, though it's unclear what the extent of those interactions will be beyond battles (and... ?). Regardless, l hope Wooper is one of them."
Takara Tomy is releasing a Poké Ball virtual pet toy that includes an English language menu option. The device is initially a Japan-only release with pre-orders open and currently sold out on Amazon Japan, and it will ship on October 11. The retail price is ¥7,480 (about $51), though final cost could rise after tariffs. The product features seven partner Pokémon—Pikachu, Eevee, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, Lucario and Sylveon—that players can care for and which will react when the device is petted. The device also includes interactions with 150 additional Pokémon, but the extent of those interactions beyond battles remains unclear.
