If you're a fan of Pokémon Go, then you're going to be gutted when you find out this news.

Apparently you're going to have to wait a bit longer before getting your hands on the improved version - Pokémon Go Plus!

Nintendo had planned on releasing a wristband that would give Pokémon hunters a leg up on the competition this July, but the release has been moved back two months.

The watch-like Pokémon Go Plus accessory allows you to catch Pokémon and hatch eggs without draining your battery by using your phone every other minute.

It also alerts you to any nearby Pokémon or Poké Stops by buzzing and flashing. Then, with the click of a button, you catch the Pikachu, or collect Pokéballs.

Sadly, Poké-maniacs are going to have to wait until September to get one, Kotaku reports.

So I guess now all there is in the meantime is to amble down the street, your head bent down, your eyes uselessly fixated on the flashing screen, still gazing at the endless creatures you wish so badly existed in real life, but never will.

Pensioners passing you wondering whatever became of the world they worked so hard to create. The human contact you once sought, slowly evaporating: you no longer consider it necessary. It's okay, the screen offers you all you need now. Your pretend creatures offer you all you need now. The real world offers you nothing you need now.

The screen is all you need now; the app is all you need now.

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a Poké-whimper.
