- motion controls aren't required in handheld mode, as you can use the analog stick and press the A button to toss a Poke Ball
- the total number of Pokemon you can keep in your box has been increased to 1000
- party Pokemon are chosen from the list of Pokemon you have in your box
- Pokemon are stored in the same data as the Pokemon you have in the box, and are counted towards your Pokemon box limit
- the Master Ball still has a 100% capture rate no matter how it's thrown, as seen in the video below
Looks like the Master Ball, once the Joy-Con is swung, will play out a small skit to ensure players don't miss the Pokémon. #LetsGoSpoil pic.twitter.com/BkPVobOfrU
