News:: Japan is getting a 'deluxe' Pokemon Go set with a Poke-Phillips head screwdriver

Pokemon Go really doesn't need "extras." Sure the Plus accessory is neat in that you don't have to look at your phone, but given that I don't play Go daily anymore I don't mind navigating the UI when I do get around to it. Japan can't get enough of it though, as evidenced by an official "Pokemon Go Plus Deluxe Set" that's hitting the region next week on August 9.

It consists of an extra battery, a Plus accessory (with stickers and a ring for it), and get this, a Poke-Phillips head screwdriver. I'm not going to lie, I'm checking eBay or other import sites for a cheap piecemeal version for that last bit! The rest I can do without.

It'll go for a whopping 8,550 yen when it hits stores. That's roughly $77 -- the Pokemon Go Plus accessory (which is now readily stocked after months of no availability) is roughly $34.99. In essence you're paying around $40 for a mini screwdriver, stickers, a plastic ring, and a 10,000 mahH battery.
