Yup it is awesome. I have been so busy lately at the Skills Development Center that I don't have time to use it. I think it is a great way to encourage kids and gamers to get of their butt and exercise.

I missed out in HGSS hype, but last week I ordered a SoulsSilver from Amazon that included a Pokewalkr, like 70 bucks. The Pokewalker came in last week with the box and everything, but the game wasn't there.... The dude apologized and sent the game over saying it was forgotten so it's probably going to be in tomorrow but I've already played with the Gastly on there a couple times. XD
Going to retrieve those items and Pokemon and send them over to Diamond before I restart it though. At least Gastly, it grew on me. ^_^U

I just started using my Pokewalker again. I needed a pedometer for a competition I'm doing at work, and the Pokewalker is the most accurate pedometer I own. It's also the reason why I have both HeartGold and SoulSilver, so I could have two Pokewalkers.

I recall I was able to get a whole lot of steps in before the battery died. Course when the battery died, I lost a Magneton.
That's a weird thing to hear. I had to replace the battery in my Pokewalker after not using it for months, and it kept all my information and my Hoothoot safe.

Got myself a brand spanking new 3V battery! Now all I have to do is restart the game and Poison my way to victory! I might do a Lyra run this time through and retire Gold.

I used it for about a month after the games came out. Unfortunately my teacher took it from me in the middle of class because he thought for some reason it might be a distraction and then he lost it in his desk. He ended up buying me a new one which was really nice of him because I had told him to just forget about it, but I didn't use it after that. It's still sitting in the packaging that he got it in in my room.

I've never gotten the chance to use the Pokewalker as I've never bought physical copies of HGSS, but instead played them on emulators. I would like to use them though. Looks like a nifty way of levelling up your Pokemon while not actually training them, collecting items in the process.

I was actually intrigued to see how PokéWalker would work when they had first announced it, and after getting a copy of SoulSilver, I gave the device a shot as soon as I was able.

It was nifty, in a way, as this had given us chance to level-up our Pokémon and whatnot while carrying PokéWalker in our pocket, if I'm not mistaken, but sadly, like almost everyone else on here, I eventually wound up losing interest.

When I'd first tried, I believe I transferred a Zubat. It got raised by around ten level, but unfortunately, I never got around to having the Pokémon taken back. It's still in there somewhere, if I'm not wrong. Though, I can't seem to turn the device on any longer; I might have to replace batteries for it work again.

I used it quite a bit when HG/SS first came out and I was conveniently still in school at the time, but I never used it again after I graduated and now it doesn't work anymore. Probably just needs a new battery, though.

Pachireecko January 31st, 2015 8:28 AM

I used it for at least a year after the games came out. At one point I used to carry two around with me after I bought Heart Gold as well. The amount of Cyndaquil I levelled to lvl 100 using those things......

Sheep February 4th, 2015 12:23 PM

I hardly used it myself.. but my friend did volunteer to take it off my hands and get steps for me during work. :D She brought it with her for two or so years and I ended up accumulating soooo many steps from that.. except it took her several more years to even return it and by then I'd already played HG/SS to death. Oh woe is me.

CoffeeDrink February 5th, 2015 3:09 PM

I recently started using it again. It's been four years since I said hello to that Pikachu. I'm rearing up to restart the games, as I feel I've completed all I can complete, and creating a new story and going through the games again will freshen my memory. Here's to walking.

harakuru February 12th, 2015 2:08 AM

Of course. It's the only way I know to get a Pikachu with surf or fly. And it's an excuse to finaly move your *** from the couch xD.

Altaria February 12th, 2015 12:17 PM

Unfortunately, no! My fiance was going to bring his from when he was a kid when he moved down here but sadly it got put through the washing machine before it made it here. *crai* I never got the chance to mess with it. Seems like they're nearly impossible to find nowadays. T-T

Meadow February 12th, 2015 3:21 PM

I actually have been using it up until a few months ago, when the poor thing finally died. I had a lot of fun with it, though, and I always brought it with me when I planned on walking long distances.

SiriusDusk February 13th, 2015 5:19 AM

I absolutely loved that thing but I lost it anyone have a link to a cheap one?

Psychic February 17th, 2015 7:56 PM

I love the Pokéwalker! I still keep mine in my purse today, so it goes everywhere with me. I have currently walked 4,151,729 steps in total, and have had to change the battery 2-3 times. I've been working on training my Meowth to level 100 (yay Pickup). A friend helped me unlock Winner's Path, so I use it to hoard Dragon Scales and Reaper Cloths. :D

Been keeping it in my pocket over the week. So far in the past three days I've accrued nearly 3000 watts. Pretty cool. Initially I didn't have a Pokémon in the walker, but Pikachu joined me! Lucky!

Sydian February 18th, 2015 7:40 PM

I honestly used it once and never bothered again after. :( Plus, I don't know which is my Japanese walker and which is my English one. Oops. lol Apparently, the PokeWalker is one of the most active step trackers though. Ayyyy!

Guardian March 15th, 2015 4:40 AM

Just wanted to pop in and tell you guys that I find Pokewalker awesome. I've been using it for a week or so now and its really cool. Im holding it in my jacket so it collects a decent amount of Watts, and getting Pokemon and items is pretty fun so if you have it, try it out!

Smileycorp July 13th, 2015 2:25 PM

This is too traumatizing to talk about :'(

Did anyone else lose one of their best Pokémon due to the pokewalker being easy to lose?

RIP Rotom lawnmower form...

I will always remember the day you beat red's Blastoise and pikachu...

I cri everi tim

:'(

I have used it during the HgSs era, but I try my best to hide it as I don't want people seeing me with a PokéWalker.

Palmer-Granate December 9th, 2015 12:56 PM

That was the sole reason I went to Zellers, so I could purchase HeartGold, and the PokeWalker along with it. I remember catching a LOT of pokemon, Smoochum being a primary figure in my rush-and-brush squad.

I lost/broke it and still morn it to this day. Since I've had SoulSilver stolen from me, I'll buy another package, with another PokeWalker, if things go well.

Firox December 9th, 2015 1:04 PM

Mine is long lost - with Amie, DexNav, Soar in newer versions, don't think I plan on going back to the Pokewalker.

Did have fun using it - when I lost it, I also lost my high leveled Rattata.

Kaiyu December 12th, 2015 9:54 AM

When I first got it I used it a lot. Nowadays I don't use it as much. It's fun to have though. It reminds me of something I used to have when I was a kid.

Guardian December 13th, 2015 8:39 AM

I dont know how long this thing is supposed to work but I've been using it for 10+ months now and the battery is still alive lol. Also it's funny how getting Dratinis was never this easy :D
