Pokémon Friends is a puzzle-arcade game available on Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch since July 2025. The title pairs digital gameplay with a physical Poke Ball+ accessory that functions as a virtual pet, creating a hybrid experience between the game and tangible collectible. Recently, the Poke Ball+ peripheral received an update introducing new functionality alongside expanded language support, now offering Traditional Chinese as an option alongside the existing Japanese and English options.
