This is stupid . . . I was expecting more CoroCoro shots or more images of the sort. This is useless info.. who cares about a tamagotchi?
|
the pokewalk?? do you think itll come to the U.S?
ok if you've read serebii.net yesterday or today you should of seen something called the pokewalk. now who thinks it will come to America or stay in japan?
|
Pokewalk? Never heard of it...
|
I really don't care if it leaves Japan or not, it looks like a usless way to milk more money out of the games, and i'll not be wasting my money on it.
|
personally i like the idea of a pedometer that lvls up ur pokemon
|
It could. We'll never know until they tell us. Maybe that will be the pre-order gift?
|
I think it should come out in the US, Japan gets all the cool stuff...
|
Meh. I find it rather pointless myself. But whatever. I don't see a reason for it to not come out here? x] I'm sure there's a fraction of people that would enjoy it.
|
This is one of those things where it could go either way fairly easily. Sounds like a really gimmicky way to sell more pokemon games to little kids, but I hope it does, then you can shake it really fast to get pokemon happy fast+items.
It would be useful to exploit but if it doesn't see the U.S., I really wouldn't miss it. |
There have been quite a few little Poke' pets that have never made it out of Japan. So I wouldn't be surprised if the Poke'Walk never sees the light of day in the US. x_x
It would be neat, but I just have this feeling that it probably won't happen. Unless, eventually you can find the Japanese version in certain little stores. |
I think the idea of that Pokewalk thingy is kinda nice. The colorless screen feels nostalgic and it's like having one of your dear Pokemon always in your pocket (like a Pokeball xD ).
I don't really need it but...I still want it cuz' it seems to be a funny little addition. Hopefully it won't be too expensive (I'd like it to be free or cheaper for Pre-orderers) and hopefully, HOPEFULLY it won't be japan-exclusive. But I don't see a good reason why it would be. Comparing it with the Celebi event is maybe not correct. I heard it was only in Japan because they had more and more modern cellphones there (japanese are crazy 'bout their "Keitei"). And we got this Pikachuthings, so I'd guess this one, too. I'm more concerned about europe...we always get things last (if at all :( ) |
Wouldn't surprise me if it didn't hit the U.S. but you never know, especially since that'd mean more money. I actually thought the idea was kind of cool.
|
Once ut comes out in Europe i'm happy!!
I really dout it though. I cant imagine our stores stoking games with extras and charging the same as normal! Its a really cool idea i just think it wilkl be a special edition in japan only. Imagine how many they would need to make!! Millions and millions!! |
I would love it if the poke-walk did make it's way round the earth in 80,000 steps(i kno corny)
and it would be awesome especially if it did lvl ur pokes as u walked (obesity rates across the world plumet{headlines all papers) It would get you out and about rather than sitting on your......... all day. |
well i hope it does and the pokemon tamagochi will Rise ones more
|
I don't really know much about this Pokétalk… May someone explain this to me?
|
Hmm, I would think it comes out. I mean, the Pikachu thingies made it to the U.S., too, right (even in europe, what a wonder! /sarcasm )
And the printer and so on (I list those because just like the Pokewalk, you cuold connect it with the games. Pikachu Pet 2 could be connected with G/S I think). It's not essential but I think it's fun so I'd most likely get it if it comes out. |
Merged threads here, as both were on the PokeWalk.
|
I do know that whether it comes out in the US or other countries besides Japan, it'll be quite a big sale. Seeing what it can do, and promote exercise for children, I don't think some parents might say no into buying this product. It is very benficial in both ways, and for some reason I believe the Wii's experience had a small play into bringing this PokéWalk item back. It is beneficial to all, as us, the players get our Pokémon's levels higher and happier. With this being said, I think it's a big plus for those who don't like to train and for those who need Pokémon to evolve early through their happiness level to learn a certain move. For the parents, they get their kid exercise, whether it be shaking the item with your hand or really walking about. I know that if I do get this [probably not] I'll be taking a lot more jogs with my dog around places just to increse my Pokémon to get stronger.
If this takes in account EV's as well after you want your Pokémon to reach Level 100, then this will be a larger bonus to many other game players that I would think. As for it being released outside of Japan, I'd say there is always a chance. Whether it be brought in by people who buy it online, or whether Nintendo distributes it world-wide. I do think they might if they're looking for the extra money though, and to promote more sales in HeartGold and SoulSilver as well. I'm definitely glad though as it brings back a large feel of naostalgia to many players who had the older Pikachu version of this. |
...As much as I would enjoy seeing such a device bundled with HeartGold and SoulSilver upon their release, or even added as a pre-release bonus, I am doubting that this will be the case unless Nintendo does the same as they did with the Wireless Adapter back when FireRed and LeafGreen were released. For one, using it as a pre-release bonus would be rather pointless unless it held some sort of compatibility with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, as it would otherwise be a useless device until HeartGold and SoulSilver were released. There is also how these appear to be a bit too...high-tech of a bonus for a company that has been focusing on using coins and plastic toys for such in recent years.
Also...am I actually the only one here to see just how abusable such a device would be? The older Pokemon Pikachu devices also ran on a pedometer system, and they were very easy to increase the count on simply by shaking them. If the PokeWalk actually increases experience and happiness for every "step" taken, then all one would need to do to dramatically raise the selected Pokemon's level is shake the device. That would not only grant access to an overpowered starter with little work, but depending on the rate of increase, it might overshadow more traditional leveling methods entirely. This is not even taking into account any of the other potential bonuses that the PokeWalk might come with, such as the rumored item collection. |

This PokeWalk thing sounds sketchy, I mean, if it really levels up Pokemon, that would mean I could shake the heck out of it and raise my Pokemon to Lvl 100 in minutes...

The fine members of GameFreak are NOT stupid. I think they have proved that well enough themselves... Maybe, just possibly the minigames are a part of the pedometer's normal cycle. As you walk, you run into Pokemon, and are given the option to do battle with them (thanks to the sentret picture) The reason that I feel that everyone is wrong in thinking that you can just shake it a million times and get a level 100 is because if you look back at the video, Pikachu is walking off of the screen. Maybe once it goes offscreen you run into a minigame or something like that, where you HAVE to make a choice wheter you would like to continue with the minigame, OR keep walking. If that were the case, then no matter how many times you "abused" the system, it would only count so far, and then give you the option for a minigame. There are tons of ways around shaking it way the heck up to level 100... just because it works like a pedometer doesn't mean that it has to be exactly the same as a normal pedometer that you can pick up at a store... |
The app seems cool but I wouldn't be walking around at school with that thing attached to my pants...
