4th Gen Auto pokewalker AKA pokerunner

[TheDarkrai]

Lol, shaking barely works, i just put it in my pocket at school and i get a pretty good 3000 steps...

The most I do is shake it whenever I'm in class, otherwise I'll just walk with it normally. This pokerunner thing is pretty funny, I mean sure it works and all that, but it does kill the idea. I figured the pokewalker was neat and set up for the ideas of:

1.) So people will actually buy the game instead of just using an emulator or flashcard blah blah blah (hence why a the receiver/transmitter is in the game cartridge and doesn't use the DS' normal wireless capabilities).
2.) So people will learn to take a break and get some exercise for once! I know we're all dying to finish the game but this suggested moderation is something to consider here. It's a ingenious setup really so why let it go to waste for something like this?

LOL!
thats pretty sweet, i just tie mine to a fan

I tried this, but because it just spun in a circle, I didn't get any steps.

My freind made one using some knex, but I doubt it is as efficient as yours.
(Search Youtube for "Pokemon Walker Machine!" to see.)

EDIT: To those who are just telling us cheaters to be active, I am. I wear it in my sock during school, and occasionally take walks with it. However, I want to unlock the Quiet Cave, which is the last course on the device. To do that I need 100,000 watts. At 20 steps per watt, that's 2 million steps! If I average 10,000 steps per day, it will take me 200 days to get that. I would much rather have a machine gather steps for me while I sleep.

Of course it will take 100-200 days, that is the point! It's like people rationalizing about using a cheat device to get event Pokemon. Event Pokemon are rare for a reason. You need 100,000 Watts to open Quiet Cave for a reason. Where is the fun or sense of accomplishment if you can just get everything right off the bat?

 

[Pikachu-dance!]

Well I'm gonna wear mine from 6:00am (time I wake up) to 9:30pm(time i go to sleep so i can get up at 6:00am. That way i can get as many wats as possible out of the day.

 

[CoffeeWolf]

I walked 5 miles yesterday and only got 12,000 steps o_o I don't regularly walk that far... and I thought I was in good shape!

 

[dudeazombie]

i know this is a little off topic but dose anyone know how to XP thing works? like how much XP your pokemon gets for how many steps or watts?

 

[shanecdavis]

Unless I am mistaken, it is 1 Exp Point per step, but you can only level up one level per stroll. After that you are just increasing the Pokemon's Happiness. Also, beware that unlike the Daycare Center, your Pokemon will not learn a new move when it levels up. So it is important to make sure you don't put your Pokemon out for a stroll if there is a move you want it to learn on it leveling up.

If you pay careful attention to the Japanese ad for HG/SS, it suggests to children that they should give the Pokewalker to their mom or dad when they go to work. (If you can't understand Japanese or find a subtitled version of the ad, it's the part where you see the stick figure with the briefcase walking with the Pokewalker attached.)

Those of you flaming others, for trying to find a way to get the steps required for the walker faster, need to keep it to yourselves or make a new thread about it. Not everyone wants to wait two thirds of a year to unlock a course and if i remember correctly its their's not your's. They can do whatever they want with it, why should you care, it doesnt affect you. I actually applaud these attempts because at least they're trying to use their wits. Besides not everyone has the time to waste to gather the steps to unlock a course for a game they're playing.

Only one guy kind of did this in this thread, (fisheydude), so I'm not sure what you're all up in arms about. =P

The rest of us are just chiming in our two cents on how we prefer to unlock things normally.

Also, I'd rather not see a new thread with people flaming, thanks anyway though.

 

[Sudeki]

I just put it in my sock, when doing normal day stuff I average 30,000 steps a day, no reason to cheat. :/

 

[Gamefreaked]

It was more of a precautionary thing, sorry. I want to see some more ideas
I just don't want future flamers posting and I've seen plenty of threads like this get ruined for comments on how people either love doing it normally or hate
"cheating."

Now on with the ideas.
My friend told me that he taped his to his old washing machine and that it worked like a charm. Only problem with that is that you gotta have a really bad washing machine to use it.
I would just say shake it whenever you have time but I heard that didn't work so well so I guess I got nothing.

Shaking it works perfectly if you do it right, don't shake it really hard or something, you gotta shake it at a nice "walking" pace.

Ill try that then, see what I get by tomorrow.
My only other idea is to tie it to my dog when she's in a hyper mood but I think itd be pretty big for her leg.

 

[oFrEqUeNTx]

Or I just tape it to one of my cat's legs. :P

HA! Good idea :P
I should try that.

 

[Eurydice]

i gave mine to my cousins while they were at the park today. they kept fighting over who got to run with it. gotta love little kids ^_^

 

[Jweeson]

I just wear mine when I'm at school, and I wear it when I play tennis. :)

I don't see why you'd need to cheat, because don't your pokemon only gain one level anyway? The only reason to cheat would be to get watts, and I would like to unlock all the different routes/courses legit-like.

 

[Kopaka96]

What I do is because I have RLS, I strap it to my sock and bounce my foot or put it in my sock and wiggle my foot for a few hours while watching a movie or TV I get 13,000 "steps" on a good day. :D
