Since early July many of us have watched as our children walk around consumed by Pokémon Go [1] — catching Pikachus in the park and Eevees in the living room — and the most draining part of it is, well, the data drainage. If you're a mom with an unlimited family data plan, you are truly blessed, but for the rest of us, we're looking for any way to get our kids to cut down [2] on the excessive data usages caused by needing to catch that last Weedle on the drive over to the grocery store (Niantic, can we get some game features our kids can use over WiFi at home?!).
If you've been feeling the data struggle but your kid is totally obsessed with the game [3], check out these 27 toys that will satisfy their Pokémon cravings and inspire them to put the cell phone down (if only for a little while . . . ).
