Pikachu aside, the Poké Ball is the image we most associate with Pokémon. It’s surprising that the Pokémon Company took more than two decades to make a controller out of one, but here we are: The Poké Ball Plus peripheral will come out alongside the franchise’s first pair of Nintendo Switch games this November.

I got to play with the Poké Ball Plus twice in as many weeks, playing Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! with it as my controller. After both demos, I feel confident in concluding that the Ball is ... not as fun as I wanted it to be. The dream of having an actual Poké Ball in your hands, one that moves and shakes and reacts like a real one, has been realized, but only in part.
