The GTS is useless.

I try and take my pokewalker out with me at any time.

I've got a pretty laborious job, so if I bring my pokewalker with me, that's a guaranteed 10,000+ steps right there, and since I recently restarted HG for a nuzlocke challenge, I've been bringing it everyday just to unlock all the routes that I lost. D:

I used to use my pokewalker but then i had it in my pants pocket, forgot about it, washed my pants and then when i put them in the dryer and heard clanking I looked all around in the dryer and the pokewalker didn't work anymore...I got my giratina back off it thanks to that reset pokewalker thing on the game =D glad they made that feature.

and that's my experience with the pokewalker......................yea.

I would use the pokéwalker more if:

1) Pokemon didn't miss out on learning moves when they leveled up.
2) Pokemon didn't miss out on evolutions when they leveled up.
3) You could use it to hatch eggs.

I used it only once, when I first got my HeartGold. I transferred my Drowzee to it. I thought it was pretty boring actually, maybe I need to try again though.

I used to carry my PokéWalker with me at all times, usually got around 10k-15k steps per day. I barely use it nowadays.

I use it all the time. Where I work, I could get 15,000 steps a day, depending on what I do. So the Pokewalker became a very handy way for me to raise my higher-leveled Pokemon who I'm not EV training/already have their moves/fully evolved to level 100.

Except I'm way too lazy to transfer Pokemon, so I don't use my Pokewalker right now. I still have to transfer my Lucario back to it.

I lost mine so long ago. I've tried searching for it, but I stopped caring for it now.

I feel one of the biggest mistakes they made with it is that you can't learn new moves upon levelling up. With evolution you can just do it next level, but if you miss out on a move... that's it. Gone. Unless there's another means to get old moves back (I haven't checked yet) but if it's anything like needing to find heart scales like in the 3rd gen games it won't be easy.

Otherwise I like it. I always wanted a kangaskhan but was never able to catch one in any generation. I'll be using it mostly to catch unusual pokemon not found in SS.

Move tutor in blackthorne or pastoria. Cost's one heartscale.

I bring it around with me wherever I can (Except at school sometimes) It does look delicate, but it's surprisingly robust, and although it's not that fun, it can give you access to certain rare Pokemon far before you should be able to get them. A good, useful little piece of kit. The only problems are that you can level up once per walk (Very bad) and it takes a while to get your Pokemon in and out of the walker (Just needs patience. Bad.) 7/10.

I'm using the Pokewalker for the sole purpose of catching Spheal, Wailmer and Spiritomb.

I attached it to the collar of my little chiwawa/terrier. Her fat/short little legs give her a lot of steps, fast.

I find it useful. I keep my Umbreon/Jolteon there. I already have my Umbreon and Jolteon that I bred and trained (which are actually strong) but with the pokewalker it doesnt come out bad, and i walk with it everywhere. I don't think it's boring, it's not a device ment to use for 3 hours str8 trying to see what to do with it. It's meant to have on while doing something else and forgeting about it, really, to me it's not that bad -.-

I really like it! It's acutally gotten me up and looking forward to the daily walk I take with my dog. I rack up some watts and look forward to catching that elusive Elekid (who never seems to get put on my route urgh! lol). I wish there were more features like play with your pokemon and stuff, but otherwise I think its pretty awesome!!!
