Guested

No As far as I've seen, yes. Unknown yet.

Nice work getting this done. Quite an ambitious project, and people have been asking for these pretty often.

It's a normal PokeWalker, but you can buy a rubber-like case thing for them now. There are two... a red one with Ho-oh on it and a blue one with Lugia on it. Mine's the blue one, as you can see. http://www.pokemon.co.jp/special/hgss/news/17.html I'm not using that cheap strap, though.

With the US release of HGSS just around the corner, I thought I'd put together a guide using what I've learned from my own PokeWalker. Some of the other guides on other sites are missing some information. However, I suggest you use those sites if you'd like lists of each Course and what Pokemon and items are there (and their step requirements). All interaction with the Walker is handled through a menu of the main menu screen (outside of the main game, where you select your game or Mystery Gift, migration, etc). Once you enter this menu, you can choose a Pokemon to send out to the Walker, as well as a course to walk. There are 27 courses to choose from (8 before the National Dex, 12 unlockable after getting the National Dex, and 7 special courses). Each course has its own selection of 6 Pokemon to catch and 10 different items you can obtain. Normal courses are unlocked by accumulating Watts (detailed later); "Beyond the Sea" is unlocked by completing a trade with someone whose game region is different than yours over the GTS; "Edge of the Night Sky" is unlocked by trading over either a Nintendo Zone Jirachi (Japan) or a Gamestop Jirachi (US) to your HGSS game; "Yellow Forest," "Event," "Shopping," and "Champ Road" have all been released by Mystery Gift in some form in Japan; "Amity Field" has not yet been released but will most likely be through Mystery Gift. These course names could possibly change after the US localization is released (and I'm pretty sure "Amity Field" will change... the Japanese word for this is often associated with day-care or kindergarten, so it will most likely be something like that). Once your selections have been made, your Pokemon is sent out to your Walker via the infrared ports on the Walker and your game cartridge. Then, your outing has begun! Start walking! As you walk, the PokeWalker keeps track of each step you take. It will keep a record each day of how many steps you took (over the past week), as well as the total number over the lifetime of its use. Walking a certain number of steps will build up Watts which you can use to play the Poke Radar or Dowsing Machine games or keep them in order to put towards unlocking new courses. Each course's Pokemon are broken down into three groups: A, B, and C. There are two Pokemon in each group, and one from each group will be available to catch per outing (determined randomly). Group C is able to be caught straight from the start of each day, but groups B and A each have their own number of steps that must be walked that day before appearing (determined by the route... it can be as low as 500, or as high as 10,000). Each route has three Pokemon Types that are advantageous to this route and will reduce the number of required steps by 25%. Playing Poke Radar costs you 10 Watts each time, and you must search patches of grass for the Pokemon by following the pattern of "!" marks. "!" once will be a Pokemon from group C "!" twice could be a Pokemon from group C or B "!!" could be from group B or A "!!!" will definitely be a Pokemon from group A After finding the Pokemon, it will appear and a battle will start. Each Pokemon has four bars of health, and a normal attack will do one bar of damage, while critical hits do two. Apart from the "Attack" command, you can also "Dodge" or throw a Pokeball. As usual, Pokeballs have a better chance of catching the opponent Pokemon if its health is lower. The wild Pokemon may also dodge or run from time to time. If you lose the battle, you will lose 10 additional Watts. If you capture the Pokemon, it will be stored on your Walker until you finish your outing and connect with the HGSS game again. You can capture a maximum of three Pokemon per outing. Dowsing Machine costs 3 Watts to play each time. You are given two chances to find an item hidden among 6 patches of grass. If you guess incorrectly the first time, it will give you a clue as to whether the item is nearby or far. As with the Pokemon, some items are available from the start, and some are only available after a certain amount of steps have been walked that day. You can have up to three items in your inventory before you have to send them back to your HGSS game. If you have already obtained 3 items or 3 Pokemon during a certain outing, but you obtain one more, you are given the option of swapping it out for one you are currently holding. You can also use the PokeWalker to communicate with someone else's Walker. Communicating between the two via IR gives each person a random item (from the opposite person's current Course). You can only do this with the same person once per day. These items are stored separately from the Dowsing Machine items, and you may hold up to 10 of these before transferring back. If you communicate with more than 10 people during one outing, you'll get 99 Watts from the 11th person (and so on) instead of an item. In addition, after communicating with someone sending the items back to your HGSS cart, that person's current party (as of their last transmission with the Walker) will be sent to your Trainer Dojo in Veridian City. You can battle them here similar to the way it was in GSC (and also RSE with record mixing Secret Bases), and more than one player can be stored in the Dojo at a time (up to 11). There are also options to change the sound level and contrast, look at your Report (displays Trainer name, current Course and current time of day), and check what is currently in your inventory. When you are done with your outing, you can send back your original Pokemon (who will probably have gained 1 level), the Pokemon you caught, the items you obtained, and any Watts that you did not use on minigames will be tallied on your HGSS game and put towards unlocking new courses. Your HGSS game will also show you a record of what happened during your outing and keep track of your total number of steps. The PokeWalker is a great way to catch rare Pokemon, obtain rare items like the Yellow Flute, TMs, evolution items (or common items, for free, essentially), give your Pokemon a level boost, or just kill time when you want to play a little minigame. If you have any questions or you think I've left something out, please let me know.

How was it corrupt?

The original news article has been changed to show more accurate translations of the Pokemons' classificiations.

As the DNA pokemon, Deoxys is the most logical choice here. Because the whole Project deals with the intricacies of pokemon "DNA," (whether it be through editing sav files, editing ROMs, other pokesaving, reproducing events, or merely looking at/confirming the components of pokemon and their generation) Deoxys is the best symbolic choice for this website and community. All other choices would just be based on image and coolness.

"Pokemons" was in the article.... it's in bold. The info I saw was in the box that was the details/specs of the game. http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/game/g100129_02.html Also... I saw the same info, translated at... pp.org. http://projectpokemon.org/news/150/New%20Pok%C3%A9mon%20Game%20in%20Develoment

I think it HAS been stated that it's for DS... But also, "Pokemons" is grammatically incorrect.

I HAVE the information (and it's not secret information, you can find it). It's just that there are 47 (or so) different competitions. But the dates are irrelevant, anyway. You can pick the Pokemon up on any day you want, even after the event has ended (or even if your clock is off). Collecting Pokemon based on dates is kinda pointless, as they are all the same except for one variable (that can vary GREATLY, and isn't really accurate). The only dates you really need to know are the start date and the end date.

I'm not going to type out the whole list for something that silly. It's mostly Saturdays and Sundays with a few Mondays and Thursdays thrown into the mix.

Specific Dates only. They are only distributed at the regional competitions.... just like every other WCS event. Regional competitions end on May 9th. After that, West Japan competition is on May 30th and the East Japan competition is on June 6th. It's also possible that this event will be distributed at the National Competition.

They ARE unique... but.... I don't know, it's not my call. I have already run through this course and I think I completely skipped catching the Pikachu cause I just didn't care enough. If a Pokemon has 5 pokemon, it's because two pokemon are the same species, but they are usually different from each other by level or moves or something, or at least step count. There are very few instances of this, though. Usually it's six unique pokemon.

Every Pokewalker Course has 6 pokemon, not more. This one has Sableye, Chatot, Pikachu, Croagunk, Buneary and Pachirisu. They do not have any special moves and even the rarest pokemon on the course are able to be caught with relatively low step counts (compared to other PokeWalker courses. Useful items you can find on this course include Elixirs, Max Elixers, Max Repels and the very useful Yellow Flute.

I don't mean to be argumentative, but there were MANY people who attended this event. And there will be many more who attend, as it is ongoing. So that's not the problem. The problems here are new technical and logistic problems that I don't really want to get into here. It's POSSIBLE for someone to get this pcd/pgt dumped, but ... the chances are much smaller than all previous events.

Sabre should correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what he meant by "proper" was something more like "not hand-made" and/or "actual" pgt and pcd files. These substitutes are good to hold us off until the real deal is obtained (which may be some time), but I don't think they should be considered final.

Except that egg location determines the actual "met at" location for all Pokemon picked up from the delivery man at the mart. This pgt will generate Eevees that are met at "Lovely Place" instead of "Pokemon Event," as it should.

Any idea what I did wrong here? I'm pretty sure I did everything according to how you described it... but then every time I push start to go past the Lugia title screen, everything just stays black... This is the only patch I've put on this ROM.

I already DO use it! From time to time...

Uhhhh.... HERE is the translation: Card Title: Commemorative Birthday Present Card Comment: Happy Birthday! A fantastic present is sent from the Yokohama Pokemon center.

If you edit it at all, it will not be legit. If you edit the level met, it will not be legal.

Please don't post things in my thread unless you know what you're talking about. Thanks.

It was a translation error. In the original Japanese Blue version (which is what US RB were based off of graphically) you gave a Kadabra for the man's Graveler. They translated the text straight over, but changed the Pokemon in the trades back to what they were in the original Red and Green in Japan. SO, in Japanese, he says "My Kadabra just evolved!" which makes perfect sense. But it doesn't make any sense when they just plugged the other names in.

That feature is not available in the HGSS version of Pokesav. Please look around and read a bit before creating new threads and asking questions that have been asked before.

I didn't realize we were still using other fansites as sources for news. Lugia and Ho-oh HAVE been "hinted at" since they were the primary focus of the teaser trailer.
