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.

Correct 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.

No, 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.

I see. In that case I stand corrected. Thanks!
