Due to the nature of multiple threads all on some similar aspect of the Pokewalker, Hirro and I agreed to make an official PokeWalker Discussion thread, for all of your PokeWalker...discussion needs!

For instance!
  • What Pokemon do you frequently use on your PokeWalker?
  • What's your favourite course, and why?
  • How many Watts/steps have you found/taken?
  • Do you even like the Pokewalker?

Discuss those points and more here!

I use the PokeWalker rarely, I thought I would use it much more.
Butterfree us always in my Pokewalker, I didn't really unlock any courses, I took about 1 million steps in it, the Pokewalker is pretty nice.

I use my Pokéwalker whenever I go out. Started using it like 1 month ago. Ambipom or Latias are my pokemon of choice when I go out. :)

I keep my Lucario in my Pokewalker. One reason is because I'm not EV training him, and he's at a high level that it's faster to walk him to gain experience than battle. The other reason is because I'm too lazy to change games in my DS and send him back, and I enjoy having him around.

I keep him on the Winner's Path right now. But I do attempt to walk Yellow Forest for those Pikachu (of course!). I just wanted a Beldum first.

I've been breeding Eevee so I can get Umbreon and Espeon, so I use the walker to gain friendship.

I've used it every day since I got it on the European release date. Apparently, I've taken 2257895 steps since that day. :P

What do you mean "record the steps"? On the actual PokeWalker, or in the game? The PokeWalker is kind of picky in how it needs to be shaken in order to gain steps.

Though right now, I haven't been using mine. It just sits on my dresser. Mostly because I just don't feel like using it.

Ouch, that would drive me mental. ;x; You can order individual replacements for roughly $9 USD from the official Nintendo Store, if you want a new one and can shop online.

I use the Walker a lot; I want to unlock all courses ~ Even though I don't actually go on long walks often, the watts add up, and sometimes when I'm bored I fiddle with it, shaking it around to rack up steps. I actually really like having a Pokemon around too, even if it's just fictional. xD; Like a Tamagotchi.

I think the Pokewalkers are a great idea. Maybe a bit of a marketing gimmick, but who cares? It really adds to the friendship theme of the game and lets you play the game even when you're not at home / can't play the DS. Also, they make ADORABLE accessories. I love wearing my Walker. They look p. awesome on guys with belts, js. I don't wear belts though so I just clip it to things. I'm looking into how I can wear it in my hair. <_<

I have eevee in there most of the time. I'm trying to catch all the pokemon on the walker but since I work most of the time, I have to wear it at school. But my daughter tries to eat it so I don't wear as much as I used to.

  • What Pokemon do you frequently use on your PokeWalker?

  • How many Watts/steps have you found/taken?
  • Do you even like the Pokewalker?
I use any low level Pokemon that I don't really care about at the moment as I think if I put one of my 'good' Pokemon in and it levels up, it might automatically replace an existing move for a new move.

I'm yet to tell the difference between them! The only Pokemon I find are ones you'd find soon after leaving New Bark Town. The items I find have been things like X-Defend, Gaurd Spec. etc. so not very useful thus far.

I've had the game for about just over a week, taken it out with me a few times. My Steps are 32,306 and I have collected 1,591W.

I haven't really used it too much, for getting Pokemon/items. I've just taken it with me for no real reason... except it's quite interesting to see how may steps I've taken in a day (roughly).

I hardly use it. I don't know what pokemon to keep in it. I'm thinking of pikachu when I have a chance to catch him and train him.

I use the PW a lot and I even use it as an official pedometre. This morning, went out at 4:30am and returned at 6:00 am and clocked 10198 steps and caught a shelder and Poliwag, along with two berries and a dive ball. With this, i had my Kyogre in the PW. Fun times.

well it depends on where you put the pokewalker. if you don't put it in the right place on your body it won't work. go figure. I put mine in my pocket (should say used to 'cause I'm taking a break with using it right now) when I use it and it works there. but when I clip it to the top of my pants it won't work

I'm too lazy to actually put it in my pocket whenever I go anywhere so I hooked mine up to my ceiling fan with some ridiculous contraption. I just left it on all day yesterday. FYI it maxes out when you get up to 99999 steps for the day, but I'm pretty sure you still get watts even though the counter is maxed out.

Why didn't I think of that!? Anyway, I used to be obsessed with it to train my chikorita and zubat. But when they reached suitable levels I really stopped using it. But I did get really good exercise with it.
