Pokemon does have a slight history of having other devices be a part of their games, with things like the Pokewalker and the not-yet-released writst accessory for Pokemon Go that was included in trailers of the game when it was first announced. And it seems that Sun and Moon are not going to be any different.



Japanese toy-maker Takara Tomy will be making and releasing a kid-friendly peripheral based on the new Z-Moves that are being introduced in the game, a powerful type-specific move that can only be used once a battle. The 'Z Ring' is based off the Z Ring in-game and will blink, make noise and vibrate whenever the Pokemon performs the Z-Move, with 18 different crystals to collect that each seem to correspond to a different Z-Move and thus Pokemon type.

Priced at 2,600 yen ($25.60) the ring comes with one crystal included, with further sets of Z Crystals including 3 others and being priced at 599 yen ($5.90). There'll also be a special bundle pack released for sale that will include the Z Ring and six of the Z Crystals for 4,490 yen ($44.19).



Releasing on November 18 when Sun and Moon release, the international site for the game also lists the Z Ring so we should see a worldwide release for the accessory which Tomy International say will be "timed to release" at the same time as the games.
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
