I accidentally left it in my pants pocket and washed them, only to find out later that my PokeWalker broke!

That was my favorite part about SoulSilver! :[ I only had it for about 2 weeks before it had its premature death. RIP!

Anyone else lose/break their PokeWalker? share your stories :[

And a little off topic, but is there any way to buy a new PokeWalker? Or did I have to use the one specifically given to me?

I left mine in my student center a few weeks after I got the game and it was gone when I came back a few hours later. :c

My Pokewalker still works fine although I did have to replace the battery at one stage - haven't yet put it in the wash or anything, although I have heard stories of it surviving being submerged in water... so I'd suggest if you haven't yet taking it apart and drying as much as you can and letting it sit for a while before trying to make it work, and/or replacing the battery if you have a spare (if you don't and it costs a fair amount try getting a new one).

Speaking of which, you can buy one... if you live in the US anyways - I don't know about other countries though, you'd have to google it and if it's not available on the nintendo shop you'd have to try ebay or the like. You can resynch any Pokewalker to your game though easily enough - just only one at a time.

My Pokéwalker's battery is dry, so I can't use it. Plus, I don't know how to open the thing up.

Since when am I dead? o.0

Well mine's battery is dry, so yeah I can't use it lol. And I am too lazy to just cycle to the city centre (4km) and buy a new one for 1 euro :p I'll do it soon - and then I'm maybe going to hunt for a shiny pokéwalker shiny xD

Oh interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up, though! I'll consider buying a new one, I tried putting a battery in and it didn't work, and I'm assuming the battery wasn't dead.

@Pokewalker, hahahaha. I saw that you responded to this post and I laughed xD

When I'm at home chilling, I wear a T-shirt and panties and I attach the Pokewalker to my panties. This has led to numerous occasions on which I have dropped it accidentally into the toilet. It still works, though.

Back when it first came out it definitely was. I brought it to school and EVERYONE who played any Pokemon game had it. It was a nice conversation starter tbh xD

Now, I would decide if YOU want it. Will you wear it a lot? It's not worth it if you don't wear it. If you do, however, its a great new element to Pokemon gameplay and I wish they expanded it. I don't know how well it would blow over, but if they added to it and made it act more like a Pokedex while still being a Pokewalker, I wouldn't mind paying maybe an extra $20 for it. Just me, though. I've always wanted a full Pokemon experience :P

I've used mine like...one time. lol However, I forgot which PokeWalker is which (Jap and Eng) so I just don't wanna bother and end up getting them mixed up. Should have labeled them. I haven't broken or lost them though, luckily.

I always get REALLY annoyed with my Pokewalker. And the benefits don't really add up to much unless you wanna walk 100 miles to unlock all the courses. But I still have mine.. I only use it to see my Pokes in black and white colors xD

Well, I mean, this is a common thing. Leaving it in a pants pocket? I wouldn't be surprised if it happened to many people haha.

I thought I lost my DS in a mall once as well! Fortunately it was hidden in my car, but it was a scary thought haha. But that's why I never put anything rare onto my PokeWalker, always some Pokemon I didn't care about so if I had to reset I wouldn't lose anything xD

Meh, I still have my Pokewalker. It's currently sitting on my nightstand, not really serving as anything more than a pretty paperweight. I'm considering selling it :/

I loved my PokeWalker when it first came out, but now I don't really see the benefit of it. Collecting berries is probably the best part of it. It's still interesting to know how many steps you walked in a day though!
