    I left my pokewalker in my jeans the other day and forgot to take it out and put them in the washing machine - to my surprise when I took it out it still works absolutely fine! My donphan and all my watts were still there too and i'm sure the washing machine's spinning will have added a few more :P

    Has this ever happened to anyone else?
    (Note - don't do this deliberately, I [probably] got very, very lucky xD)
     
    My brother did this before... not on purpose, of course. :p When he took it out, it was still full of water, and the left button didn't work. That fixed in a few days, though.

    He also got something like 23000 steps. O: A lot, I know. Also, I wouldn't do it on purpose. Who knows, maybe it could break...?
     
    A long time ago my Pokemon Gold got washed/dried and it still works to this day.
     
    I went jogging the other day. When I got home, I threw my clothes in the washer, not realising my walker was still in there.

    It didn't make it. ;_;
     
    Mine got washed too, and, luckily, it survived. It didn't work at first because it was so wet (and I was really mad about that), but, after letting it dry a day, it worked again. I also got a lot of steps from the wash, which got me a lot of the routes I still had to get.
     
    Hasn't happened to me... yet, but there's been several cases when DS games have been left in my jeans pocket... D:
     
    While I've never gotten my Pokewalker washed, I have gotten my SoulSilver sent through. xD Thankfully, it lived.

    My PokéWalker went through once and survived. My Emerald has gone through and survived as well, but my brother's Sapphire came out with the clock feature not working. :/

    The internal battery of the Sapphire cartridge was probably broken there then as it affects the clock feature (well, time-based events) but nothing else.

    Certainly from the stories I have heard they mad the Pokewalker pretty well.
     
    going by this theory, what do you think would happen if you disconnected the water from your washing machine, threw the pokewalker in, well-bundled, and ran the machine? pretty good way to build up watts if you ask me...
     
    Ever since I bought Heartgold I constantly check my pockets before I throw them in the washer. Sooo many times have I found the pokewalker in my jeans just in the nic of time. I dont want to have a repeat of Pokemon Gold -sniff- ;~;
     
    I never left my PokeWalker in the washing machine, but I have a similar story: when I was hit by a big wave on a beach during spring break, I was carrying my PokeWalker. Luckily, it survived. But it was so wet that I had one of my cousins carry it for me for a while.
     
    It happened once to me; I accidentally left my PokeWalker in my pocket. I suddenly realize it, but my walker is already in the machine. When I took it out, it worked perfectly. :/
     
    I leave mine on my sock while walking, runnig etc. This way I always know it's there. :)

    1) Attach PokeWalker to dog
    2) Wait a day
    3) Profit!

    Exactly what I did.
    Taped mine on the collar for extra sturdiness.
    Let it run outside in my backyard for the whole day. :)

    Came out to be 90,000+ steps in about 12hrs.
     
    I barely use my PokeWalker but these PokeWalkers are pretty resistant, since I have dropped mine a few times and it still works. But it has never gone on a trip to the washing machine, or surfing.
