Yeah, but Let's Go and Pokeball were released years ago. Go Plus was released almost Day 1, if I recall. All of those connect via Bluetooth and never required a network. They all still work just fine if you deny PoGo the permission to access devices.
- SllX 5y agoCorrect me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the same dialog that pops up for Bluetooth devices or am I missing something? I haven’t used my Pokeball Plus since about a month after I bought it, which was basically day or week 1, but if I recall correctly the mandate to ask for permissions only came around after that time frame and I would expect it the next time I pulled it out. But if it does work without Bluetooth permissions; then that’s cool, or if this is a separate dialog than the Bluetooth permissions dialog, then I’m just wrong which is also fine and I can live with that.
- snapetom 5y agoNo, it's definitely different. The Bluetooth permissions come up whenever you pair a new Pokeball/Go Plus/3rd Party Device like Gotcha. It strictly asks if you want to pair a new Bluetooth device. The network discovery is different. iOS will popup a dialog saying something like, "Pokemon Go wants to discover other devices on your network" or something like that, which is what this story is about. I believe it pops up once when you install and sign up, but then it never asks again.
- SllX 5y agoI see. In that case I stand corrected. Thanks!
