Seasoned Pokémon GO players will already be familiar with the Pokémon GO Plus, a Bluetooth-enabled device which allows you to catch monsters and pillage PokéStops without having to remove your phone from your pocket.
The device ships with a bracelet attachment and a clip attachment, but there's a third option coming to Japan tomorrow: an accessory which clips onto the back of the device and allows it to be worn like a ring.
The accessory costs just 400 yen, which is around £3 / $3.50. It also comes with a sheet of stickers that allow you to dress up your GO Plus like a Great Ball, Super Ball, or Master Ball.
There's no word on whether or not we'll see this useful piece of plastic in the west, but in Japan it will be sold exclusively in Pokémon Centres and Stores.

Still can't play the game so doesn't matter. Whyyy do they hate rooted phones so much? D:
Why not just make the actual device into the ring itself, not a big thing dangling off the ring?
I guess the main problem there though is the battery.
The article failed to mention that the ring is also on sale on ebay.
I got a new phone yesterday, which means I can finally play the game properly for the first time! What good timing - I need to get a Go Plus myself now!
@GloverMist
Consider your options, there is also the Go-tcha by code junkies.
@RupeeClock Very true, I'll have to shop around. I'll have to see if I can find a Go Plus for cheap, but I strongly doubt that will happen!
Hahaha!! Awesome tagline!
I still can't find it in stores, not that my phone can play the game, anyway
Does anyone even play this anymore?!
These accesories are too big and clunky... Why cant they make something less flashy?

Pokemon and Niantic: Makes awkward ring attatchment instead
That would have been handy for me a couple of months ago instead of wearing the bracelet loosely so I could use it in a similar way with one hand.
Well +1 point for the Go-tcha
A keychain would actually make sense.
