There have been many attempts to clone this device, but only Datel seems to figure out the algorithm, while the other clones are cloning the exact hardware and firmware. Pokemon GO Plus, (which I will refer from now on as PGP) is a wearable Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device to be used with the Pokemon GO game for Android or iOS. Using other’s people blob may be blacklisted in the future (or Niantic may ban your account). I have not figured out how you can generate your own blob and key. However, there is a per device blob used (specific to a Bluetooth Mac Address) for key generation. I have managed to get the certification algorithm. Until that happens, however, I have no doubt many will find this accessory worthwhile.TL DR You can clone a Pokemon GO Plus device that you own. And, if I'm being honest, the auto-play mode is super helpful for when I'm riding my bike or in the middle of a meeting.īut it's clear this is not an official accessory, and part of me wonders if Niantic might eventually disable its functionality entirely and render my purchase worthless. I love being able to play while I'm dressed a little nicer than I would be when using the plastic parts of the official accessory. Go-tcha for Pokemon Go Should you buy it?įor $35, Go-tcha fills in some of the gaps left by the Go Plus or Apple Watch app. There's not exactly a user manual in the box, so you mostly use online videos and brief graphics to figure everything out. The Go-tcha display isn't big on clearly explaining all of its features either, leaving you with some cryptic images and a long press-based UI to get everything done. It disconnects with apparent randomness and doesn't always do exactly what it is supposed to do. The game clearly has no idea this is being done automatically, as the notifications it gives are exactly the same as what you get when using the official Go Plus.Īnd because everything is based on the Go Plus, this unofficial accessory is just as unstable and temperamental. The unofficial app, which is used for settings and to update the app, is clumsy and kind of deceptive. The way this accessory connects to my phone is dishonest. To be honest, using this thing feels like I'm cheating.
