You guys need to fix your image uploading thing. This is the second time I've been unable to upload an image because of it. I'm saving this edit now because someone else will be uploading the image in question for me.
(→‎References in television broadcasts, movies, and radio: forgive me as I am not so good at coding tables like these, but the reference I added is from another episode of "Eastenders" but I'm unable to make it line up properly)

The Afterbirth DLC released a new item called a "Friendly Ball", which will be thrown when used, capture an enemy which will then fight other enemies when sent out.
 
Afterbirth+ introduced a new item called Poke Go, which looks like a cellphone and resembles [[Pokémon Go]], where enemies will randomly join you upon entering a room. It also introduced a challenge called Pokey Mans, which is an obvious play-on of Pokémon, and uses the Friendly Ball, except it releases a random enemy each time its thrown.
