~*PokéWalker*~ Are you going to use it? If so, what for?

[Arceus - The Original One]

It's not really. It is for lower levels but as you get higher levels it's only about a level, or less. Not only that it's 10k Exp over a whole day, if you think that's too much they may as well not allow you to rebattle the Elite Four which gives you around 30k Exp in 30 minutes or less

No it's alot of footsteps for the person walking it. :O

Obviously you're not an average person then xD

Walking really isn't that hard. You get a lot more steps than you think.

It's not a lot when you don't think about it, but when you think about each step, that's a lot.

Haha! I almost find this funny, because they've somehow tied Pokemon to real life.

 

[Tentae]

So... it doesn't mess up EV training right?
It's like using a rare candy or those Day care people? Because if it messes up my EV's, I'll be so mad. D:<

Meh.. I don't know if I'll use it... What if I lose it? or it breaks... I'll lose my pokemon. D:

It wont be like Rare Candies or the Daycare. You can battle Pokemon in it and gain Exp that way as well, so they're going to have to give you EVs from those Pokemon. Otherwise it's not going 'mess up' your EVs.

I'm going to use it for school. I do walk around my school a lot. And walking home from the bus stop, isn't so far but I do walk a lot.

Then I don't fully comprehend the concept.. you encounter pokemon as you walk? eh.. I don't see the difference than just taking your DS around and training pokemon the old fashioned way.

You don't encounter pokemon as you walk. -.- as you walk, you build up 'watts' which are the currency so to speak of the pokewalker. You can then CHOOSE to use those watts to activate the pokeradar, thus encountering a pokemon. Same with using Itemfinder.

I remember one summer my mom gave me a pedomometer to go get off my lazy bum.
Then I discovered a trick, if you shake it, it adds more steps.
So if the pokewalker is a podomometer, just shake it to add exp. faster.
I'm so good!

... Seriously...? You think that's a huge revelation? It's so obvious... *facepalm*

Pokewalkers aren't meant for people to drop off a level 50 pokemon take a run and then return with a level 75 pokemon. At most it will get your pokemon to 51-52 with a little off till 53. The point is for when your not playing pokemon you can still be progressing, even if not much. And that is why they added different courses with items and pokemon to make it not as lame.

Does anyone else think that the more you unlock courses the more exp per step you get? Like if there is a course that requires a million steps to unlock or something and normally you get 1 exp per step on regular instant courses(instant courses= courses it comes with) in this special course its 10exp per step. And there can be different exp per step courses?

I'd probably only use it to bring my Pokemon's happiness up if that's what is required for it to evolve, or just to evolve others for Dex reasons. Other than that, I can't see myself using it for much else.

 

[leaderfraser]

When I first saw the Pokewalker I thought it was just a cheap attempt at bringing pokemon to the Wii-fit crowd, well it is. But I think I would actually use it. I'd take to school

 

[SwordsmanSeigi]

I think some of you would be surprised as to how much you actually walk daily. When I was in school and had the Pokemon Pikachu pedometer, I found I walked more than 20,000 steps everyday.

 

[Ixin]

I would use it but I definitely wouldn't put any really good pokes in it. knowing me, i'd lose it LOL

 

[swimteam09]

Probably when I want to level up a pokemon, and i'm feeling lazy, I'll send a pokemon over to it, and shake it XD

 

[Volcanic Murk]

I don't really understand the PokeWalker. Does it train in EVs?

 

[Shadow Eeveelution]

maybe not...Once i got the HG/SS.. I'll start training and training..and shiny hunting..which take most of my time

 

[ijea4444]

I don't really understand the PokeWalker. Does it train in EVs? (I just recently started using Evs.)

No one knows. EVs are gained via exp gained in battle. So if there is chance that if you beat a pokemon(i dont' think you can battle though, I think you can only capture) you could gain evs. If you don't battle pokemon in the pokewalker, then for sure there will be no ev gain or loss. It will most likely be like the Day-care.
