"HEY GUYS - WHAT'S UP, It's ya boy™ Gamerdude96 here with ANOTHER tutorial for you pokemon gamers out there. So if you're anything like me - which if you're watching this video, you probably are - but if you're anything like me, you've been enjoying the HECK out of the new pokemon let's go games (I personally bought copies of both so I can make future videos detailing differences between the games. Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell to make sure you don't miss out on more instructional pokemon-themed videos!) - but if you're anything like me, then you are here because you probably, understandably, have some questions about the game and how it interacts with the somewhat confusing pokeball plus. Well, I'm here to tell you that I did the research, and worked hard to bring you this instructional video so that you don't have to try to dig up all this information for yourself! So, without further ado, here are the TOP 10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE POKEBALL PLUS DEVICE. Before we begin, I wanna remind you to go ahead and HIT THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON AND SMASH THAT BELL so that you don't miss any videos in the future.

(we're 3 minutes in? lookin good, but youtube says we should draw this out to at least 10 minutes...)

I don't play Pokemon Go, and I don't plan to play Let's Go, let alone planning to buy this device. But I like your attitude towards the current state of UA-cam tutorials. This is a video for information, not for ad revenue.
SWEET JESUS! THANK YOU!!! So many videos with "this is exactly how Pokeball Plus works." Then the 35% of the video that's actually about the Pokeball Plus, is filled with "I think that's how it works" (even though it's totally not). Thank you, for making short, sweet, and easy to comprehend. You are the best!
I was getting so mad that I was 36 hours into ownership of this game, and nobody had explained to me how to put a Pokémon inside the freaking Poké Ball Plus. Thank you so much, Satch.
hey satch, decent video, but this video needs to be about 8 minutes and 15 seconds longer in order to be a Quality UA-cam Video Recommended By The Algorithm
I was just looking for info on it this morning and was unhappy with what I was finding. Lucky me you posted this today! This is much clearer and straightforward, thanks!
And now the influx of views begin... Great job Satch. This has been one of my biggest pet peeves when searching for info on YT. All my tutorials I make are to the point with no fluff. You are awesome. (and I don't even play Pokemon Let's Go... yet)
THANK you. I just spent the last hour or so looking this thing up to clearly explain how it works. Finally I found this video that's straight to the point and incredibly informative.
"Tutorials should be this straightforward by now" Satch Sass™ in full effect. You're an awesome dude. Keep up the great content, and thanks for the concise tutorial!
THANK YOU! That's all info that I gathered from random long videos, but thank you for making it this clear and concise and thank you for voicing that it's not normal that Nintendo didn't give a full guide with the ball.
Also, does anyone know the criterias for the pokemon to enjoy playing? Cause when you take it back from the ball there's "times played" and "times enjoyed playing" and I'm like... What the hell did I do wrong? Is it normal that the pokemone only like one playing session out of seventy?
Please do another video explaining the rest of the functions. For example, if you hold both buttons for six seconds it will show you the battery level with a green/yellow/red stoplight-like color scheme. Once in the battery menu if you push the top (red) button your ball will enter "blue" mode, once more and it will enter "white" mode. I have no idea what these are for and presume them to be indicators for other functions or something. Also, you didn't mention anything about "accepting gift" function to actually get your mew out of it. Love the respect (and low level diss) in this video! Keep it up!
Yo! Blue mode is delete pairing information from your switch. White mode is delete all user data from your pokeball plus. This will not give you another mew. There's also a tiny reset button on the back of the black strip.
No 45 second logo animation from envato marketplace, no pounding dubstep, you didn't even encourage me to smash that like button or thank me for subscribing. Is this even a UA-cam video?
Also if you're trying catch, and it flashes red like three times right away - you're out of regular pokeballs and either need to buy more or go into Pokemon Go to use any great/ultraballs you have.
Silent mode is NOT enabled/disabled by holding the Joystick and the Button down at the same time. Doing that will enter battery indication mode. The Pokeball will flash Green/Yellow/Red depending on how much battery remains. To Enable/Disable silent mode you can either tap both the joystick and button, or hold down the joystick, when the ball vibrates click the top button, and release both the top button and the joystick. The Pokeball will vibrate to indicate it has switched modes. You can verify this by shaking the ball. If it is in default mode your Pokemon will make a noise, if it is in silent mode it will just vibrate.
Another minor detail (also correct me if this changes/I'm wrong): The Pokeball Plus "Mute Mode" ONLY effects its compatibility with GO. When using it for Pokemon Let's Go it will always have audio from the speaker when you preform certain actions in-game. Personally hoping we get an update with an option to change this. I use headphones with my switch 100% of the time and having the other audio from the ball is annoying to the point that I haven't been using it for Let's Go despite how much I've really enjoyed how it feels.
I don't play pokemon go, I won't play pokemon lets go, i'm never going to dish out for the extortionate cost of the pokeball plus, but you're damn right I watched the whole video just for satch
how about how to get consistent throws in lets go? I will throw at a pokemon and the ball will come from one side of the screen and not even go strait. next time something different. next throw something different. How do you get consistency with it? does the orientation of the ball matter? Can I angle throw? There's too much inconsistency for me to nail down what it's doing. Also is there away to get rid of the dang "get ready" click...that really screws up the flow when you got the circle up and moving on your pokemon but you gotta re-click rather than just re-throw
what happens when you DON'T want to spin a stop? example: you see 2 poke stops next to each other, one of em having a quest you need. you also have 2/3 active quests. device spins both poke stops, now its 3/3. but it spun the poke stop first that didn't has the quest you wanted. now you have to wait 5 minutes to try again. but maybe to need to leave. am i clear?
I don't play Pokemon I missed the boat on it and I feel too intimidated to start now but I can still greatly appreciate you're brief and detailed tutorial that respects people's time. Good on ya Satch!
Thank you though I'm missing the control option to turn it off mind you not the sound but the ball entirely mind keeps on vibration which drives me mad
Btw I ask Niantic and they said that pokeball plus only work with normal pokeball in pokemon go for now, so if you don't have any pokeball in game but you do have other balls like great ball, ultra ball... it still won't let you use it.
"The light should be yellow." That's dependent on which Pokémon you have in your controller. I have a Venonat in mine (because I don't wanna grind this little bugger to 31 just to expand my Pokédex), so my light is purple. Also, instead of hearing a "pika pika," I obviously hear Venonat sounds. I'm not commenting this to be the "um, actually" guy, but to inform those who, like me, did not put Pikachu in their controller, and were maybe confused by what Satch said.
I bought it and it wouldn't turn on, and it still won't, when I try to charge it it won't even make the pokemon center sound again, can someone please tell me why?
Here's why I'm not shocked to hear that Nintendo has done a poor job explaining the Pokeball Plus...I wonder if it has anything to do with Pokemon Go Plus, the app peripheral that was basically the precursor to the ball. Can someone please confirm whether or not the Pokeball Plus is functional with Pokemon Go at this time? Because I have Pokemon Go Plus, something that is meant to function exactly the same (sans the Lets Go connectivity), and it hasn't worked since we purchased it. Niantic has "failure to connect to the app's device" listed on their Known Issues page and even has it flagged as "In Progress", but I did some research and it's literally been on there since June 2017, with any information about the problem being nigh impossible to find. I'm trying to not assume malice on Niantic's/Nintendo's part, and I'm aware that they didn't like the prospect of people "jailbreaking" the Go Plus device or making usable knockoffs and may have terminated use on those grounds...but the more I learn about this whole situation the more it makes me feel like Nintendo sold me an expensive peripheral knowing damn well at the time that it was not functional, and would not be for an indefinite period of time. I apologize for sounding upset, but I would really appreciate any and all information that y'all may have about this so I can figure out what to do. I've tried to contact Niantic about this via all channels except calling, and in every case I get complete radio silence.
You might wanna redo this tutorial. Yellow is for pokemon you haven't caught before. You NEVER get a second chance to catch a pokemon with the pokeball; you either catch it or it runs away, period. Pushing both buttons at the same time for 3 seconds is how you check the battery; green for full charge, yellow for two-thirds, red for one-third and less. You have to hold the joystick down while pushing the top button for the meat function. The last mystery is what the hell is the point of the color change when you check the battery; when your in check battery mode and push the top button while, the light will change from whatever the battery charge is to White to Blue...what are those two colors for???
I can't believe there was no instructions it even had a pamphlet in the box but so many kids are gonna think there's are broken or people will just not know it can make sound cause it's muted
Fucking fantastic work. I still have 2 questions though: the motion control on mine drifts to the right constantly (such as the hand when doing the "Play with Pikachu"), how do I calibrate that?? I'm worried it's interfering with catching pokemon. Also, when it's paired with pokemon go, pushing the red button on top at any time makes it vibrate. What's up with that?

Gosh,
Too real
so much this
Let me thumb you up right quick.
This is stupidly accurate
This is so heartbreakingly accurate
Satch out here doing lawful good and undercutting ad revenue scammers
I didn't even buy the thing
I just wanted to hear Satchbag's smooth ass voice again
seconded
I too miss his smooth sweet voice as he talks about video games.
"Tutorials should be this straightforward by now" - Truer words have never been spoken, this is why Satch is my favorite you-tuber
“Nintendo didn’t explain how to do it so I guess I’ll do it” Such a Satchbag thing to do
TheAlexJ whats a satchbag
It warms my heart to know you're the kind of guys who would not only see how Nintendo failed to explain things well but would set out to do it correctly yourself

+1
Didn't you notice the option of "take your pokemon for a stroll" underneath the save option when ever you saved?
hey satch, decent video, but this video needs to be about 8 minutes and 15 seconds longer in order to be a Quality UA-cam Video Recommended By The Algorithm
ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM.
The amount of sass especially in the last line is incredible
you'd be surprised how much people stretch out the simplest things for youtube money
Thanks for being the PokéTuber we need, but not the one we deserve, Satch
Legendary. THANK YOU! Finding vids on this game without superfluous garbage is so hard.
The graphics you use to demonstrate the buttons and lights seem like they’re some lost official Nintendo explanation. Top notch editing, Satch!!
I was just looking for info on it this morning and was unhappy with what I was finding. Lucky me you posted this today! This is much clearer and straightforward, thanks!

As someone who works a full time job. Thanks Satch. I know you do too :3

GODDDDDDDDD I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT ALL DAY
Thank you for saving me
Thanks, satch! I've been a long time subscriber and I get excited every time a video pops up!
Algo won't recommend because it isn't "long" or "attention keeping" content. Gr8 vid m8, it really hammers home why I should stay subscribed 👍
THANK YOU!
That's all info that I gathered from random long videos, but thank you for making it this clear and concise and thank you for voicing that it's not normal that Nintendo didn't give a full guide with the ball.
You could have added the whole factory reset guide too.
Also, does anyone know the criterias for the pokemon to enjoy playing? Cause when you take it back from the ball there's "times played" and "times enjoyed playing" and I'm like... What the hell did I do wrong? Is it normal that the pokemone only like one playing session out of seventy?
Thank you for not having me use the 1.5x speed option

No intention of buying this thing. Just excited to see anything Satch uploads.
Also if you're trying catch, and it flashes red like three times right away - you're out of regular pokeballs and either need to buy more or go into Pokemon Go to use any great/ultraballs you have.
The hero we need.
This man is really doing the lord’s work
THANK YOU SATCH!!! All my questions answered. Loved this 🧘♀️
Satch, you're the absolute best.
THAT is what is called a professional folks. Sorry to elevate you since I know you're so humble, but gosh man, you're so freaking cool
Short to the point and helped me easily find out what was wrong eith mine. Was muted. Lol thanks bro!
Thank Gawd for this Video, simple and easy to understand
Thank you so much. This is the only video that answered all my questions
But how do you turn it off completely in case someone leaves it behind and it's vibrating red on the kitchen counter?
Real MVP.
Silent mode is NOT enabled/disabled by holding the Joystick and the Button down at the same time. Doing that will enter battery indication mode. The Pokeball will flash Green/Yellow/Red depending on how much battery remains.
To Enable/Disable silent mode you can either tap both the joystick and button, or hold down the joystick, when the ball vibrates click the top button, and release both the top button and the joystick.

Hey! I respect my time too. thanks you
Thanks so much, hopefully my pokeball plus will arrive soon. Thanks for the guide
Good job Sach!
We love ya
Thank you for getting straight to the point. Here’s a comment a like and a sub.

I subscribe just because no one has explained so easy
I don't play Pokemon I missed the boat on it and I feel too intimidated to start now but I can still greatly appreciate you're brief and detailed tutorial that respects people's time. Good on ya Satch!
On the Pokestop topic. You need to press the top button to loot it. It won’t loot as soon as you’re in range of one.
good to see a video from you dude even if it's for a product I don't own
How do I charge it? Tutorial maybe wasn’t as thorough as you thought
But does the controller have to be turned on if you're walking with your pokemon to get extra EP ?
Good Guy Satch at it again!
Hi, do you know how to turn on the healing sound when plug the cable in? I try to turn off mute but it didn't work
Thank you.. we need more humans like you
Oof that was a deep cut. Great tutorial thanks man.
Subbed. UA-cam needs more of this and less bloat.
Beautifully done.
THANK. YOU.
Can you make one about how to actually catch them in the game? The controls for catching are confusing.
Thank you though I'm missing the control option to turn it off mind you not the sound but the ball entirely mind keeps on vibration which drives me mad
Is the possibility of catching again confirmed? I dont find information about this on other sites, reddit etc.
Btw I ask Niantic and they said that pokeball plus only work with normal pokeball in pokemon go for now, so if you don't have any pokeball in game but you do have other balls like great ball, ultra ball... it still won't let you use it.

Damn, Luke was right lol
Great vid!
i have a question: can you charge a pokeball plus with a usb charger? or do i have to buy the main charger for pokeball plus?
david huerta any USB-C charger will work. I was charging it with my Pixel 3 charger no problem.
ok im goona wait till christmas to get it
also thanks btw
but what i meant is like a usb cable charger
it works right?
You might wanna redo this tutorial. Yellow is for pokemon you haven't caught before. You NEVER get a second chance to catch a pokemon with the pokeball; you either catch it or it runs away, period.

THANK YOU!!!!
And that's why you're the Arcanine Master Trainer.
Tutorials should be this straightforward by now
some of this is wrong, you cant throw another ball in go, if it breaks out it automatically flees
The color will change depending on the Pokemon in the ball
Can we throw it?
Well, that was phenomenal, you and I are on the same wavelength, my dude. 👏👏👏👏👏 Liked and Subscribed, will check you out later!
Thank you for this!
I dont understand how to aim the pokeball plus in pokemon encounters wh playing lets go
Does anyone have any info on how to tell when it needs charging etc?
what is the ring thing
HOW DO YOU PRESS Y WITH IT
Good guy Sach!
I can't believe there was no instructions it even had a pamphlet in the box but so many kids are gonna think there's are broken or people will just not know it can make sound cause it's muted
how do I charge it?
Doing Arceus’s work (again) we see Satch.
Fucking fantastic work. I still have 2 questions though: the motion control on mine drifts to the right constantly (such as the hand when doing the "Play with Pikachu"), how do I calibrate that?? I'm worried it's interfering with catching pokemon. Also, when it's paired with pokemon go, pushing the red button on top at any time makes it vibrate. What's up with that?
Can you have 2 Pokeballs for one game?? I wanna catch 'em all
Good guy Satchbag strikes again
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Amazing!
