Note: A minor update was released for both Android and iOS. I think it was mostly for Go Plus support, but if you notice anything major, be sure to let the community know!
In other news, I have been completely unable to find a Pokemon Go Plus for sale in the area. I still have a couple more local game stores to check, but Target didn't have it, Best Buy didn't have it, Kmart didn't have it, and GameStop only had it for people who had preordered it. So I'll possibly call the other couple places, and then will probably just order one online, with a high probability of just ordering one.
I looked around online yesterday for where to buy a Pokemon Go Plus, and I'm damned if I could find anything anywhere except for $100+ scalper resales, and hell no to that. The local game store said they had a reserve list prior to release and didn't get enough inventory to satisfy it, and they have no idea when or even if any more will (ever?) be made available. This whole thing is freaky. Scarcity marketing? Hostile, is what I call it. *grumble*
I'm wondering if they didn't base production in very early - as in, prior to the app's release - pre-orders. With the app itself unreleased, there was very little interest in pre-ordering, IIRC, and I'm not sure how much interest would have gone up after the release, since there wasn't a whole lot of (correct) info about the Plus floating around. It was only just before the Plus was released that I learned it would connect with the app while the phone was asleep, for example, which was the main driving force behind me wanting one in the first place. Not a lot of time to reserve one, and even less for production companies to make more.
