Turns out watts max out too at 9999. Just thought I'd put that out there in case someone else does some stupid trick like mine or is just too lazy to transfer them to your game.

Meh, I don't really like or use my PokeWalkers. I used it only once because I wanted to try it once, and didn't really get much fun out of it. I like how GameFreak was trying to get their gamers to get on their feet, but it didn't appeal much to me (mainly because it was probably designed for the younger PokePlayers).

I love the pokemon walker. It makes me feel like a pokemon trainer, hahaha. I only recently got HeartGold, so there isn't a pokemon I take out more than others. I take them out at random. But, now I realized I have to be more careful, because I don't want to miss a move one might be getting if they reached a certain level.

Oh, and my pokemon walker is in Japanese, so it's a way for me to study a bit while on the go. And the simple battle system is entertaining.

I saw a thread about modding the pokemon walker. I would really like to make mine a GS Ball, so that one day when I finally get that celebi, I can carry it around in its GS Ball. Hehe.

The PokeWalker is easily one of my favorite features of HG/SS. I bring it with me almost everywhere I go (even to school, since it's so big that I gather a lot of watts there). In my SS game, I currently have 14,390 watts collected. I don't know what my favorite course is; I just like them.

Question:
How much do you actually use your Pokewalker? What's the most interesting thing you have found using it?


I personally haven't been using it for a while, but recently I have been taking it wherever I go. It's like my phone or my iPod or something ^_^;

Well, when I first got SS I thought it was awesome and I carried it with me everywhere. But then I started using it less and less, and now I don't even remember the last time I used it.

I really should though, as there are a few things I want to get from there. And I never found anything rare or interesting, even with a bunch of steps.

Yea I never find anything interesting either -___-
I do think it is useful in leveling up your weaker Pokemon though, that is, if you walk a lot. I really get a lot of EXP points since I walk all over my college campus all day ^_^

Oh no!!! I love Chansey :( You can max out the watts? How many do you need to do that? Do you get something for doing it?

The max amount of watts you can carry in your PokeWalker is 9999. You don't get anything special for doing that, unfortunately.

I have never used my Pokewalker, whilst I thought the idea and features are good, it just never appealed to me to use.

hey, bobandabil, Hiiro is the corect spelling, not Hirro

Well, I tend to use mine at school (since I have a lot of stairs) and for my frequent walks with my grandpa (7500+ steps weekly, yay !). Also, I recently got Soul Silver, which means a second Pokewalker. But since SS is for challenges, I transfer all my watts to HG.

I want that damn Spiritomb from the last route... ;;

Also, I once got nervous on it since I couldn't catch a Munchlax, and I started throwing it all over the room. My HG one. It has cracks all over its body, haha !...

Here are two pictures :

Crack 1
Spoiler:


Crack 2
Spoiler:


First crack ain't so visible, ubt the second doubled in length, since I took these pictures in July.

I use a lapras too, just so I can watch it painfully shuffle along behind me on its belly and useless flippers!

No, just kidding. Everyone knows water types are powerfully telekinetic. I used Pliff the Hoppip for a while, but now I have Saizohm the False-Swiping Leafeon that I plan on leveling up with it. Yes, I know there aren't any Eevee evolutions that can learn False Swipe. She knows Spore too. Google arglebargle - nevermind, this might be something I shouldn't post. Suffice it to say I spoofed the GTS.

I have back pain, and sitting is terrible for your back (my chiropractor told me you put 25lb of pressure on your spine laying down, 100 standing and 225 sitting...) and standing hurts my ankles, so I've been walking a lot. It recently dawned on me that I should bother looking into the Pokewalker, and now I like it quite a bit. I got 9000 steps in one walk at one point. Too bad I wasn't using it that time I walked for 2 and a half hours...

Fun facts about the Pokewalker, since no one has brought them up and since some of you might not already be aware:

~You can reclaim Pokemon if your Pokewalker is lost or destroyed by holding down a button combo on the DS; you just don't get the XP and/or items for the walk you were on. You could have rescued your Chansey the whole time!

~Your Pokemon gain 1 exp. for every step. They can only level once per 'walk' (they need to be transferred back to the game to gain that level and start another). They will not learn new moves or evolve when they level up.

~The last unlockable course requires 100,000 watts. You can use it to catch Spiritomb and Feebas, which are otherwise a huge pain.

~You can find rare berries on several of the routes, namely the Ganlon, Liechi, etc. berries that are normally only obtainable from events or extremely difficult and/or grindy methods. These berries are the best berries for poffins in the game (you can actually max out every stat on a single pokemon with them).

~To even have a chance to obtain the rarest items on the Pokewalker requires you to take 7,000-10,000 steps in a single day (the steps count for all routes, so you can get every rare berry in one day, theoretically).

~Searching for items and catching Pokemon costs watts; 3 watts to look for an item and 10 to try to catch a Pokemon. You can fail in both cases, and the watts are still lost. These are subtracted from the same total that's used to unlock new routes, so it's possible to earn more than 100,000 watts without unlocking everything if you spend too many of them.

~Your Pokemon can randomly find items at no cost.

~You can catch Pokemon at no cost by walking without transferring a Pokemon from the game; eventually a Pokemon from the route you're on will join you voluntarily and you can transfer it back to your game! However, it will always be one of the common Pokemon for that route.

There's an excellent guide on the Pokewalker on Gamefaqs, and Serebii.net has info on all the courses.

I love the animations of some Pokemon, like how if you stick a Goldeen in there it magically floats after you, which is just hillarious. Also Lapras just kind of shuffles along. Ouch. Why can't it magically float along too? XD

Hoppip never touches the ground. I assume Skiploom and Jumpluff are the same way... now I want to put a Jumpluff on it... I wonder if Jigglypuff floats too?

Fun fact: The character Blue in the Pokemon Special manga used Jigglypuff to fly. Like a hot air balloon.

I use mine all the time. As soon as I wake up, into the pocket it goes. School really racks up some steps, since I have to walk across it three times a day. Usually it's Furret now. I'm not sure what route right now, just trying to get that route with the Feebas. I wish I got Yellow Forest...

Pleas don't bump threads that are over a month old since the last post, let alone several.

I'll close this thread, and probably remake it (or anther pokewalker topic at any rate) to see how this discussion will go now however.
