When I first saw it i was like "OMG AWESOME IDEA" but it seems like now in practice I hardly ever remember to take it with me and I'm rather lazy about switching my pokemon in and out for leveling or anything.

.-.

Anyone else feel like that?

Then I got it and I'm like... eh.
It looks so cheap, and I'm worried I'll break it, so I put it in my 'pokèmon drawer' where it will spend the rest of its life.
I used it once.

When I got the Pokewalker I was like:"OMG! OMG! It's a Pokewalker! It's a Pokewalker! So COOL!!! Gotta transfer my Pokemon into this thing!!! Woopie!"
Then after a few days:"Argh! garbage!" *threw the Pokewalker away*
After that I've never use that thing again

It feels like I'm going to crush it easily, and it really is like a Pokemon Pikachu 3 to me in that the screen sucks, but I use it when I'm bored and away from HeartGold.

I /always/ use it, lol. It goes with me everywhere. You can get some good Pokemon from it + it's a good distraction when you're somewhere out and bored.

I would use it, had I not lost it. It's a nice little feature, and you can get some good items from it. :)

Eh, at first I thought it would Level up your Pokemon multiple times each time you hit a certain number of steps.... It was such a dissapointment when I found out it only goes up one :(.

I did when it first came out. Then I got lazy. Instead I train it on my nintendo ds lite.

I actually bring my Pokéwalker almost everywhere. I forget it maybe... 4 days out of a month?

Only issue is, I never remember to take the Pokémon/watts off the Pokéwalker. XD So when I could be levelling everyday, I end up levelling maybe once a week. And I don't get many steps since I've got a desk job so... there's very little walking involved. I'm lucky to get 2k steps in a day. D:

In all, it's probably not worth it to bring around everywhere but I do anyway, haha.

Hmm, got my SS from Gamestop too. I have one? But i got it from Gamestop in Norway..

I use it sometimes, only when im going out for the day.
The annoying thing with this is that i often lose it, and when i have a good Pokemon that i need it kinda sucks.

yea, well mine was a used 1, and the person who traded it in at gamestop didnt trade in the pokewalker with it =(

at the time i hadn't even heard of a pokewalker, and it wasn't in it's orginal case. it was $10 cheaper than a new 1, so i bought it...

I always use it. sure, it gets kinda annoying to transfer the pokemon back and forth but that's why you only do it once a day/every other day. it's actually really useful because

1. your pokemon gets happy
2. you only get 2 or 3 different pokemon when you go to a route but I've found that changes if you go to a different route and then go back to the first one. like I'll go to noisy forest and find say a kanghaskan and a nidoran, but then I'll go to other places and a week later go back to noisy forest and find all new pokemon like say scyther and whatever
3. you get pokemon that you can't get anywhere else
4. you get items. sometimes they're really good like evolution stones. usually there's stuff like stardust or nuggets (which you get money from... no more worrying that Mom has all my money :)), there's berries (which you can't get from many other places)... etc
5. it makes you exercise. I find myself jogging in place a lot to earn up watts.
6. it's cool to see how many steps you've taken. I've taken 218,806 steps in only 27 days =D. well... it seems like more when you've only been using the thing for 10 days and you've gone almost 100,000 steps

all in all the pokewalker's pretty cool and I hope they continue it into generation 5. and don't say you don't because if you don't like it you don't have to use it but some people do :P

Not even taken it out of its little package yet and I got the game in March :P Doesn't seem worth it in my opinion, getting 10,000 watts for a 5% chance of getting a rare pokemon? Easier to get it off the GTS :D

I actually have been using it most days when I go out but I think I've stopped caring in the past few days. My Breloom has been trapped in there for about a week now.

...This thread reminded me to transfer watts. After 12am though, so I lost steps ;;

But yeah I use it whenever I go somewhere, so sort of every second day! :D

Though this only started like a month and a half ago, even though I had HG since the day it was released here.

I used to take mine a lot of places, even school. I would take it for practice too, but I don't want it to get messed up or misplaced. So I don't really use it that much anymore, since I'm pretty much sitting in my house all day after practice. xD;;
