I don't have my game yet (HURRY UP MARCH 25TH), but I've been reading heaps of discussions about it and on another forum someone was talking about a negative experience they had with the PokeWalker.
After buying the game he had to work, so he just got his starter (Cyndaquil) and put it in his PokeWalker. When he checked it next, it was level 10, and hadn't learned ember. He transferred it back onto his game cart and still no ember. And finally he grinded it to 11 and once again, no ember, which means he'll only be able to learn it through the move relearner (as far as I can tell?).
Do you think this was intentional, due to 'easier' leveling methods using the PokeWalker? Or do you think it was just an oversight on Nintendo's part? Any future possible fixes? Are we stuck using heart scales for any moves we miss when Pokemon level on the PokeWalker?
Someone else noted that while Pokemon won't evolve in the PokeWalker, they'll evolve once they're leveled normally in-game, which seems like something the moves should have done too.
Thoughts?
