~ Are you going to use the Pokéwalker. ~

[Shining Mew2]

Well today the Nintendo Of America has released a Press release about the Pokéwalker. So I wanted to create a poll of how are you going to use the Pokéwalker. Here is a press release from the Nintendo Of America.

For more than a decade, millions of Pokémon™ fans around the world have enjoyed training their Pokémon within their video games. The March 14 release of the Pokémon™ HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version games lets players continue to enjoy the world of Pokémon away from their Nintendo DS™ or Nintendo DSi™ systems, taking their favorite Pokémon with them wherever they go with the new Pokéwalker™ accessory. This new accessory will come included with each copy of these games.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, players can wirelessly transfer any one of their Pokémon from one of the two games to the Pokéwalker and walk them through virtual routes as the player walks around in real life. By walking, players earn Watts, which are used within the Pokéwalker to encounter and catch wild Pokémon or search for hidden items, and can be transferred into Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions to unlock new routes. There are even special versions of certain Pokémon that can only be found within routes on the Pokéwalker, giving players added incentive to keep their Pokémon with them wherever they go. The Pokémon in the Pokéwalker will gain experience points as the player walks, and can even go up one level when they are transferred back into the game. Players also can wirelessly connect two Pokéwalkers to trade items.

Letting players return to the beloved Johto region first introduced in Pokémon Gold Version and Silver Version for the portable Game Boy™ system, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions introduce several new enhancements for the series that enrich these timeless adventures. Created exclusively for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems, the games feature detailed graphics that spotlight the unique environments and hundreds of Pokémon that players can encounter and catch. Players can even see and interact with their favorite Pokémon outside of battle, selecting one from their team to follow behind their Trainer as they travel through the Johto region. The games also include robust touch-screen functionality, allowing for smoother control and seamless navigation by the player.

Well hopefully Im gonna use it, if it's compatible with other DS thats not DSi.

[Guest]

Why would it be incompatible with DS/Lite?

[Relyte]

Definitely. I'm gonna get me a level 100 just by walking everywhere I go when I get the pokewalker.

[randomcouchpotato]

ill definately use it

[HottSushiz]

That's a silly question of course. Technically that's the whole reason I'm purchasing either Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver.

P.S: your spelling of "decidet" is incorrect.

[Poryhack]

I will probably do some transfers for research purposes, take it apart, then throw it in a drawer where it will lie unused for years.

Arrrgh!

[Guested]

I already DO use it!

From time to time...

[Weon Saturn]

Ah, this brings back memories

A few years ago I got a Digivice (Digimon) as a present, with it I could train my own Digimon on it

To train it I had to walk while hanging on to it or by shaking it (Cheating)

I trained it a lot and my ar.......It hurt a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah I probaby won't use the Pokewalker.........

[Prox]

I use it maybe

[Mewtwo Ex]

Being an athlete i will probably use it all the time to gain the upper hand.

[Darkangel_Nyx]

I will use it all the time. Even if your pokes don't go up by many levels. I hope that Yellow forest is distributed over wi-fi though because It sucks for me and other people in more obscure countries when events are given away in-store.

[Tidus]

I'll use it somewhat, although not in public. Should be a fun little game, though.

[oni link]

It'll make a sweet keychain and will definitely be useful for messing with during school hours and such.

[Piplup Trainer]

I will probably use the pokewalker all the time after I get my games.

[GG.]

Seems cool

[tkdtju]

I will definitly use it I work at Walmart and I can already picture that I will load a level 1 pokemon and by the time Im done with work it will be at level 50 or maybe ev 100!!!!!!

[Guested]

You can only level up one level per outing.

[pokemonrulz]

You can only level up one level per outing.

So, if you send on a lv1 pokémon and do 100 steps, it'll be lv2 but can't become 3 unless you send it back to your game and return it to the pokéwalker. Or am I wrong?

[Guested]

That is correct.

[pokemonrulz]

Ok, good to know.

[Mewtwo Ex]

That is the worst feature in Pokemon history! I am so facepalmed at the moment i cannot even speak... Only one level per import... I guess i will be sending lv 99 to have a decent effect. I am Incredibly disappointed.

Yeah, i'm also disappointed, but sooner or later you need to do 5000+ steps...

[MACandCHEEZWIZ1]

I preordered both HeartGold and SoulSilver, so I guess I'm getting two PokéWalkers and a couple of figures that I'll ignore completely. I won't use them with each other until I face Cal a few times in the Trainer house, just for chuckles. I'll try to use it as much as possible, except for school and bringing it anywhere.

Question: After it levels up in the PokéWalker, will it still gain experience up until the last point needed, or will it stop gaining experience as soon as it reaches the level? Also, can a Pokémon learn moves in the PokéWalker, or do you have to wait to put it back in your game.
