kickhopper Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Something in my mind clicked today. The Pokewalker and the HG/SS game carts use infrared to communicate, my laptop has an infrared port. So shouldn't it be possible to have the game cart communicate with a program on my computer that emulates the Pokewalker? Some benefits I can think of off the top of my head: -Ability to use the Pokewalker without leaving the safety of your basement. -Could program the emulator to just give you massive amounts of watts to make unlocking later courses easier. -Might be able to chose which Pokemon/items you find on your walk. As I know nothing about how the cart and the Pokewalker communicate or how infrared works I'm not positive this is even possible. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about these things could pass along some helpful information or start working on a simple program by themselves.
Poryhack Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 #3 is a no, #2 you can already do on the HG/SS save file side. Nonetheless it's an interesting idea, but you aren't the first one to have it. See this.
kickhopper Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Oh right, because the game picks which set of 3 Pokemon you encounter on each walk? Also damn, beat by one day.
