I'm pretty sure you'd have to reset your PokeWalker in this case.

If you change the Pokeball on a hatched pokemon, it will be visibly identifiable as hacked. So, not a wise choice if you are worried about legality.

Oh yeah? To be honest, I don't remember if that reference was made in GSC, or if it was from the anime. I just checked online. Well, without the pairing actually stated in the game, that leaves more room for the translator to miss the pairing reference.

What do they call the Burned Tower in it's pre-burned form in the new version of the game? This is why I ask, and this will give you more info. In the Japanese games, the towers were called the Suzu no Tou and Kane no Tou. Both "suzu" and "kane" are plays on words. Both are types of bells, and both are kinds of metals. The metal reference ties them to their real-world inspirations: Ginkakuji (Temple of the Silver Pavilion) and Kinkakuji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion). In the original English games, the towers were called Tin Tower and Brass Tower, which were good translations for the metal reference but obviously lost the bell pun. So... ultimately... whoever translated HGSS either: a) Did not get the pun and only saw "suzu" as meaing "bell" (and never played GSC) or b) Consciously chose "bell" for its connection with the story

Other people need to use this so I don't look like a loser... I've now walked 705,238 steps and 24,009 watts over the course of 179 days.

No. It's still ON, the screen is just off, that's all.

Sigh.... Sorry, guys. You get ONE of the three. Not all three.

You posted in the wrong spot, but I moved it to the correct spot. Then you changed the text. And now it makes no sense.

Then it was either just a PKM file or the PGT file... both of which are essentially worthless (ie, one hundred percent reproducible by checking a box in Pokesav). "Manaphy Egg" has its own category for "gift type," meaning it is essentially a key item like the Member's Card or Oak's Letter. The Egg you get from Ranger 3 is in no way different from the Egg you would get from Ranger 1.

Aw man... so... if Deoxys is 4, Shaymin is 1, and Heatran is 1, and Manaphy doesn't use a WC... Does this mean... All have been announced? Oh well, at least we are still able to get Shaymin and Heatran up early, if we get Deoxys before the 18th.

I ... don't think so? As far as I know, Shaymin and Heatran are single player. But, I dunno.

You should have read what I wrote. You gain ONE level per outing. No more, no less. There are no EVs. It's basically like the Day Care. Pokemon will not evolve, and I'm pretty sure new moves randomly overwrite another one.

Since it's not a clicky tally like the old Pocket Pikachu was, you can't accumulate steps by shaking it. If you mimic the pace of walking, it sort of works, but you actually accumulate steps/watts faster by actually walking. I have no problem getting over 10,000 steps in one day. The way you describe this sounds like you think the PokeWalker is an alternative to playing your game. And... it's not. It's for when you're ... out.... walking around. It's to level your pokemon up IN ADDITION to leveling them up in game. But you only gain one level per outing. And it takes very little time to transfer pokemon back and forth. It's also a really handy way to stock up on random items such as useful items that you usually pay for or items that are not normally found in-game.

I've read that fateful encounter = sparkle. And level 100 = sparkle. But if they are both, it's a different color sparkle.

Not really, actually. Don't knock it until you've seen one.

Pretty sure this is not possible. Pretty sure this is not possible also. In both cases, resetting the Walker to associate with another game save would erase everything on the Walker.

Some of you have had a PokeWalker since September, but a lot of us will be getting one in less than a month. Use this thread to share how many steps you've managed to walk and/or how many Watts you've managed to save up towards unlocking new courses. Feel free to talk about any other various PokeWalker accomplishments you've made. I've had mine since Sept, but haven't been using it everyday. So far, I've walked 505,902 steps and saved up 15,252 Watts.

Pory means that the new game was stated in several places as being a title for Nintendo DS.

Also, it seems like everyone missed some of the original information regarding the new game. Specifically, the fact that it will be a DS title. http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g100129_02.html Also reiterated here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/100129/06.html

That is correct.

You can only level up one level per outing.

You would need to have the retail game anyway, because it communicates with the PokeWalker via an infrared port built into the game cartridge... which I already said. Yes. But if a capture fails once, the Pokemon flees.

Okay, so which files were corrupt? THe pcd and pgt looked fine to me, but maybe I didn't check very hard...

Oh yeah, I didn't mention that. It's only from your boxes. Meaning that you can only use the PokeWalker once you have at least one Pokemon in your box. And yes, that makes it a total of 4 Pokemon on the Walker. What OmegaDonut said is correct, if you don't have a Pokemon loaded, one from the course may randomly join you. The whole data of the pkm file is NOT sent to the PokeWalker. You cannot check any data about the Pokemon on the Walker other than the Name and Species. There is a key command (similar to the erasing file command) that will return your Pokemon back to your HGSS game if, say, you lost your PokeWalker. I'll get out my manual and post this later, but I'm sure it will be in the English manuals as well. This means the Pokemon you send out is still stored on the HGSS cart somewhere. This also leads me to believe that the Pokemon you catch are not fully generated until you send them back to HGSS. There is also a key command to reset a PokeWalker, if you want to change the game it is associated with.

In Japan, the XL is designed for and marketed to old people who had complained in the past about not being able to read the screen and not being able to hold a tiny stylus. The idea behind the XL was to have a handheld that you left on the kitchen counter or something and everyone in the family could make use of it.
