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.
 
haha pokewalker is like my favorite...i akways put my cyndaquil in it or sometimes my igglibuff....and i caught like a bunch of cool pokemon....like surfing pikachu etc.​
 
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.
 
I did use the pokewalker for a while it was pretty fun and got me some battles with my friends ex-teams in viridian city, but unfortuneatley i don't check my pockets before washing my clothes...
 
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.
 
The Pokewalker.

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.
 
I walk a lot so i use the pokewalker. It's with me virtually all the time.

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 had my lapras in for ike 5 moths now
 
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

Crack 2
Spoiler:


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