"Pokémon Poke-nade Monster Ball may sound like the world's weirdest energy drink crossover, but it is in fact the translated name for Pokémon's latest venture, a Tamagotchi-style interactive keychain pet, albeit far more complex than the Tamagotchis of old. Which of course raises two all-important questions: Can you let the Pokémon starve to death? And will it poop? This isn't"
"This new venture ( spotted by Essential Japan), which is with Bandai rival Takara Tomy looks like a much more advanced toy. First of all, it's in color, but also encased in a Poké ball shell, with a touch-sensitive screen. The latter is because a part of looking after your pocket-sized pocket monster is stroking it (that's the "Poke-nade" part of the name, which is a portmanteau of Pokémon and "naderu," to stroke)."
Pokémon's Poke-nade Monster Ball is a Tamagotchi-style interactive keychain housed in a Poké ball shell with a color, touch-sensitive screen. The device is produced with Takara Tomy and prioritizes stroking interactions—'Poke-nade' fuses Pokémon with the Japanese verb naderu, to stroke—so different lengths and speeds of petting elicit varied reactions. The toy allows play, participation in Pokémon battles, and records activities in a diary feature. Previous Pokémon pocket-toy collaborations included a 2019 Bandai Namco crossover that sold out and a pixel Eevee that coughed furballs and could run away if neglected.
