Poryhack Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Are you 100% certain that the full 136 bytes of Pokémon data are not copied to the 'Walker? How would we even know without examining the memory architecture of the device? (Which I wish we could do. ) You wouldn't. As Guested said, it's only showing you very limited pieces of information (which makes it all the more likely that it's only sending those bits and pieces and not the whole PKM). I'm not sure what good having the whole PKM on the walker would do for anyone hacking-wise anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemonkey85 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm not 100% sure yet either, but all I know is I like to hack things. I'm just looking at it as another challenge I guess. Anyway, there is no strict advantage that I can imagine for having the whole Pokémon stored there, but it's only 136 bytes, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. I guess all they really need, though, is enough to determine which sprites to use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XiON Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm doubting this but, is there any way to stop the walker from turning off after about a minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 No. It's still ON, the screen is just off, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancellor Cole Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If you lost your pokewalker for your game or just want to get one and you live in the US or Canada, then go to this link: http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=166708¤cy=USD&catalogId=10001&tranId=0&lastAction=setCurr&storeId=10001&languageId=-1&categoryId=58694&ddkey=http:SetCurrencyPreference It's $8.95. You guys probably thinking a Pokewalker with foreign language on it only connects to a game with the same language, right? WRONG! The language on the Pokewalker depends on the language of your HeartGold or Soul Silver that you connect it with, so basically, if you used a Japanese Pokewalker on your english game, then said Japanese Pokewalker would be in english.

FreeSpirit Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Wow I never knew you could buy a spare Pokewalker. Too bad when you do send out a Pokemon out for a walk, you can't send another pokemon to a different Pokewalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancellor Cole Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Me neither. I just read it on paper saying not to wash the Pokewalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryhack Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 And now all we need is an IR-capable flashcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3ddy3ddy Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 hello im new to this. i have a question about the pokewalker too. my little sister started the soul silver game for me and she chose the girl and named her. i didnt let it bother me before but i just saw the "pokesav" in this website and i saw that the name and gender can be changed. if i do decide to change it with the Action Replay will my pokewalker still work with my game?

I'm gonna guess yes. Changing the ID or SID could cause problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure you'd have to reset your PokeWalker in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blopa Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) hello folks! I was thinking about Pokewalker yeasterday, and I thought: hey, someone could make a app to send .pkm files to Pokewalker via PC with a USB IR ADAPTER. Thinking about it, it looks very impossible... to "crack" the HGSS algorithm and build it on an app for PC. But we have something like that with pkmsender (http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=211989). I don't know much about programing and cracking, but it's only a idea (a good one) so if some programmer liked it, could build one for us =D And i think it's possible to make on app for mobile phones too, that have IR. I think this is a good idea because some people that play the game on flash card, could just buy the Pokewalker (which is cheap http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/store...rencyPreference ) and be happy =D well, let's talk about that. thanks :: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=216217 Edited March 22, 2010 by blopa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancellor Cole Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Finding that link made me tempted to buy A LOT of Pokewalkers, but then again it would be stupid because I wouldn't have any games to connect them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdtju Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The one thing I wish they would sell in the us are those pokewalker covers like the one Guested has on his I already have a small chip on the screen of one of my walkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keisuke Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It is impossible to switch off the pokéwalker. But, if the pile (battery) is finally removed to preserve it (As It seems to be indicated in the Pokéwalker's guide), the data on the pokéwalker will be erased ? In any case, it's better to remove the pokémon which is in before removing this pile (battery) not? ps : sorry for my english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeSpirit Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 This is odd, I had 3 Pokemon this week break free from the Pokeball after trying to catch them when they only had 1 Bar left. Is this even possible because I've heard it's a 100% catch rate if they only have one bar? And I accidently got a critical hit on a Pokemon with 2 bars of HP left and turns out any Pokemon that loses all bars of health automatically flee.

The pokewalker shuts itself "off" after a minute or so of no button activity. It still monitors steps however. There's no need to take that battery out.

mewmart Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Oh, so it'll still track steps but just saving power is it? That's quite cool. However why is it that I only can port one Pokemon over at a time? Is it possible to port more than 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemonkey85 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 No, you can only put one in the 'Walker at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poryhack Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Here in the US they can be bought directly from Nintendo's website. I advise you to check Australia's version and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
