Addressing Summer’s ‘Smartphone Dependence Dilemma’
Summer often brings increased risks of heatstroke and pedestrian accidents due to prolonged outdoor screen viewing, which raises body temperature and lowers attention. Simultaneously, Pokémon GO® players frequently face the challenge of “Poké-activity loss” during family trips and outings, struggling to balance game progression with safety and family time. The Auto Catch LIGHT NEO aims to resolve this “summer’s triple dilemma” with a single 10g device that fits in a pocket. It automates monster capture and item collection, allowing users to keep their smartphones tucked away. This encourages users to lift their gaze and enjoy precious time with family and beautiful scenery, fostering a new style of “while-playing Poké-activity.”
Four Reasons Auto Catch LIGHT NEO is Chosen for Summer Pokémon GO® Activities
-
2-Device Simultaneous Connection
The device features technology for simultaneous connection to two smartphones, enabling two users (e.g., couples, parents and children) to engage in automated Pokémon GO® activities with a single device. This eliminates the need to purchase a second unit. -
Approximately 15 Hours of Continuous Operation with 60-Minute Charge
A full charge of approximately 60 minutes provides up to 15 hours of continuous operation. This means the battery can last for about 5 days if used for 3-4 hours daily, covering a full day’s outing. -
Only 10g and 500-Yen Coin Size, Award-Winning Design
Weighing just 10g and measuring 32x32x15mm (about the size of a 500-yen coin), the Auto Catch LIGHT NEO boasts a sophisticated form factor that received a Red Dot Design Award. It is unobtrusive whether attached to a keychain, placed in a bag, or kept in a pocket. It also comes with a Brook official leather case, blending seamlessly with adult accessories.
The Auto Catch LIGHT converter received the Red Dot Design Award in 2023, one of the world’s most influential design awards. This recognizes the Brook brand’s innovative product design and continuous efforts to enhance the player’s gaming experience.

Over 800,000 Units Sold Worldwide, Proven Reliability
Since its initial launch in 2018, the Brook Auto Catch series has evolved through generations, surpassing a cumulative 800,000 units in worldwide sales (according to manufacturer’s data). Amidst the entry and exit of new brands in the third-party accessory market, this series stands out as one of the few that has maintained its product lineage for over three generations.
