A case for a controller... Is this just as unnecessary as it seems or is the pokéball controller of such bad quality that you need that?
On the other hand this targets towards people who look at a Joy-Con and say "Oh, that's still much to ergonomic, hopefully they come up with something more badly shaped and a clickable circlepad instead of a analogstick".

Coming soon... The Poké-scrotum - for dual pokéball users!
I really hope you don't plan to throw them onto animals like it's done with normal pokéballs *scnr*

I mean, I'm getting the ball, but can't really see buying a special charger or case for something that's never going to be used or supported again after Let's Go.

Not sure which is the knockoff product, this one by Venom, or the one I added to my wishlist last week on the 9th...

They will likely have added functionality to this for Gen 8, to carry people over from Let's Go! to later titles. Of course that's speculation at this point.

That's pretty cute honestly. Cheap too. I liked the concept of the pokeball controller even if it's a bit dorky. Too small for my hands though. I'd probably get that case if I was getting one.


Is this really front page news worthy...?

Bit of a stupid question. It's on the front page so obviously it is.

The only thing I find odd is that gbatemp puts ads in the news section now.
It's not an ad lol. An email came in from the press teams we usually correspond with, talking about this thing. Since it's Pokemon themed, hilariously weird, and Let's Go is almost out, it's fairly relevant. We're not getting megabux ad kickbacks from the $3 pokeball case dude.

A case now makes the news. Must have been a slow day, eh.

I bought a Pokéball keychain and am satisfied with that than spend a chunk of money on a Joy-Con shaped like a Pokéball.
