Pokemon GO makers have kept things under wrap but that won't stop eager fans from speculating. Though very little is known about the game itself, some users who got up close with the wearable Pokemon GO Plus device, have much to share.

According to The Verge, the Nintendo-built wearable device is Bluetooth enabled and is meant to serve alerts and notification from the game to the user. It vibrates and glows to let users know if a Pokemon is in the vicinity for capture, for instance. Not an essential to play the game, but definitely to make it smoother, as the gamemakers have assured by stating that one does not have to look at the phone to stay relevant in the world of Pokemon GO.

But given that there are in-game purchases to make to help progress quickly in the world of Pokemon GO, what is the device going to cost?

A Reddit user posted the question and got responses that revealed what may be the expected and acceptable pricing for fans.

Most responses to the question felt the device should not exceed $ 20 while one user hoped it would sell under $ 50. Some even said it should be priced under $ 15 and $ 30 to $ 40 is 'way too much'. It should be noted that Nintendo, The Pokemon Company or Niantic, which made the game, haven't spoken prices yet.

So what does the Pokemon GO Plus really cost? Fans may have to wait for the game's release early next year to find out.
