As per previous section, it assumes you're trying to get Pokémon from language restricted routes into different languages. Game A will be the game with the language restricted route, and Game B will be the intended recipient. Once you're familiar with this, you can do the transfer every which way, at your own risk of course. Be prepared that your Pokéwalker's data and records will be overwritten if Game B has never been connected to a Pokéwalker, and/or if Game A isn't the game your Pokéwalker is registered to. (To keep your current Pokéwalker progress and settings, both must have connected to any Pokéwalker at least once. This is different from the matter of unlocked routes; unlocked routes is tied to your game, not the walker.) 1. Launch Game B (intended recipient), and attempt to communicate with the Pokéwalker. If you see only one option (same as the screen below), it means that the current game hasn't connected to a Pokewalker before. The warning at the start of this section applies. Possible screens (single option or multiple option) Open the spoiler based on what you see: You see a single option: You see multiple options: 2. Launch Game A (game with the language restricted route), and attempt to communicate with the Pokéwalker. Possible screens (single option or multiple option) Open the quote below to complete step 2 3. With the Pokémon on the stroll, you can proceed to encounter Pokémon or dowse for items. source: https://pokemon.fandom.com/es/wiki/Pokéwalker Options on the menu (from Left to Right): POKéRADAR, DOWSING, CONNECT, TRAINER CARD, POKéMON & ITEMS, SETTINGS If you want to know the the options do, check this page. 4. Once you have satisfied with the Pokémon and/or items you've found, you can send them over. Launch Game B (intended recipient), and attempt to communicate with the Pokéwalker. If you've been following this tutorial right, you should be greeted with this screen: 4. Select Receive a gift, follow the instructions on the screen, and you will receive the stuff!

Given this tutorial is about receiving gifts from language restricted routes, it will assume that your 2 games will have different languages. 1. A Pokéwalker, it doesn't matter which game + language it was originally bundled with 2. A legitimate(retail) cartridge of HeartGold or SoulSilver, with Language A (will be referred to as Game A)* 3. A legitimate(retail) cartridge of HeartGold or SoulSilver, with Language B (will be referred to as Game B)* 4. Reached the point in both games where you can capture a Pokémon, and have it in your box. * The reason for specifying legitimate, is because the legitimate carts has a infrared port that can communicate with the Pokéwalker. The Pokéwalker directly communicates with the cartridge's port (not the 3DS' infrared port). Repro copies/clones do not have them. As a side note, if you made your own dump of HeartGold/SoulSilver, and you've lost the cartridge, it is still possible to use this tutorial for you. If you own a 3DS, what you need to do is install TWiLight Menu++, then launch the games from within TWiLight Menu++. You will need a have a legitimate(retail) NDS cartridge with a Infrared port (such as Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, White 2) in your 3DS' cart slot.

Pokéwalker, the pedometer device bundled with every copy of HeartGold and SoulSilver. It uses infrared to communicate with the cartridge of the games. Once the Pokéwalk has been registered to a cartridge (think Bluetooth pairing), one can send a Pokémon to the device, designate the route to follow, and have a chance to capture unique Pokémon and find items, that can then be sent back to the cartridge. Besides the regular routes that can be unlocked through the regular playthrough of HeartGold and Soulsilver, the Pokéwalker also has special routes locked behind special events, with most of them received via wonder card. Source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokéwalker#Areas Some of these events were only distributed to only to certain languages of HeartGold & SoulSilver. (Example Amity Meadow to JPN only, Sightseeing to JPN and KOR only, etc) As such, it was thought that any special Pokémon obtained from these routes that bears the wrong language will be illegal. However, it was reported that the above described illegality isn't the case; in fact, the Pokéwalker ignores the language restriction, and also ignores the registered status, and would be able to send gifts to any copy of HeartGold and SoulSilver. This means the Pokémon obtained from routes can be in any language, even if the route was only distributed to particular languages. And, this tutorial is for just that.
