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

[Blaperile]

Damn it!

I wonder why Nintendo let us send our Pokémon back each level, that will be very annoying!

 

[pika_power]

Perhaps it's a level-up system for the walker? The more watts, the more levels you gain. Just a guess.

Either way, the walker has other uses. For example, it can gather watts. Which I'm sure can be spent on something.

 

[codemonkey85]

Well, that explains things. Dang. Isn't there also a limit on sending Pokemon to the Pokewalker per day, of some kind?

There is no such daily limit to my knowledge.

...the Pokewalker is a way to get certain Pokemon earlier, in addition to a decent selection of items.

That's true too. I guess it's kind of like the replacement for Sinnoh's underground, and with the addition of catching Pokémon, it's a pretty neat one.

Oh, I thought I remembered hearing a limit on separate Pokewalker sessions or something. Well, if there isn't one, that's certainly good.

Transfering a pokemon to it might be dangerous... I mean, what if you lose it? Then your Pokemon is gone, not that it matters if you stored a lvl 3 pidgey, but what if you have a mewtwo with good IV's and nice Nature? Is the Data lost for ever?

Yeah, probably. But the Pokewalker does have a backplate with a hook option, and I'll be using it. I'm way too absent-minded to just put it loose in a pocket or a purse. If I take it out, it's going out attached to me.

 

[Poke_Cannon]

1 level per session is.. fine i guess.

As long as it can continue to grow in Happiness, that's good enough for me.

 

[ancient pray]

Okay, I hope that it doesn't feel embarrasing though xD

Will each step be 1 EXP point (just like in the daycare when you walk 1 step you get 1 exp point?)

Watts are how you enter battles and use the PokeRadar etc.

Of course if you lose it it's gone. Just don't lose it

Whyw ould it be embarrassing?

We're not sure what the Exp is any more since you can only gain one level per transfer.

 

[ancient pray]

Why it would be embarrasing? When you sit in the classroom and ask the teacher if you can GO to the toilet, and the teacher is like; give me the real reason! alright alright then, I need to train my pikachu, happy now? rofl
wait a sec, what did you say?
do you mean that you can only level it up 1 level and then need to transfer it back and back again to let it gain another level? so it's not like you can just train it 3 levels without need to transfer it the whole time?

Phh, I went through that with Tomagotchis, or however you spell it, way WAY back when I was in school. Just don't let it get in the way of what you're supposed to be doing in school (no running to the bathroom to check on your Pikachu, and make sure you mute the sound), and if your peers have at you for it, screw em.

Of course if you lose it it's gone. Just don't lose it

You guys, it says in the manual for the 'Walker that you cannot lose your Pokémon that way. There is a way to restore your Pokémon to its original state in your game (a backup is made in your save file every time you transfer one to your 'Walker).

The only thing you would lose, aside from the device itself, is the progress you had made with that Pokémon in terms of EXP and happiness.

If you ever find the device again and you have performed such a restore, you must reset your 'Walker. This is obviously necessary to prevent people from cloning.

By the way, it has been proven to be 1 EXP per step. Someone on GameFAQs noted how many EXP to level up one particular Pokémon before transferring it to the 'Walker, walked exactly that number of steps, and transferred it back. Sure enough, it gained a level.

EDIT:

Exactly.

 

[ancient pray]

Damn it, I was just beginning to think about a Big cloning thing.
Okay that's kinda cool, but can you only walk it 1 level at the time, or can you walk it like 3 levels without needing to transfer it back?

 

[WynautQueen]

Oh wow, I didn't realize that. That's a fantastic feature. Kudos to GF for that.

 

[ancient pray]

Exactly.

Holy Crap, that sucks you know..

 

[pikachu_king]

I don't mind the one level per transfer limit.... I'm using it more for happiness + free pokemon(no buying balls FTW! 200 steps for one free pokemon, awesome.).

Also, is there an easier way to pick grass patches for item finder? I've oinly gotten the item once out of any times I've used it. Is there a hint or something?

And how many grass chains do you need for rare pokemon with the radar? I've gotten chains of 3 (3rd has 2 ! marks on it), but always get common pokemon. I'd love to catch a kanghaskhan.

 

[ancient pray]

yeah, big deal, no buying balls.. the pokemon you get are probably crappy anyway, so you only win 1 pokeball, like I said, big deal...

 

[pikachu_king]

considering I actually own one and can say from experience, I find it to be worth it, since theres a good many pokemon you can get this way you wouldn't be able to get until MUCH later. Not to mention in ONE transfer to the pokewalker you can get:

1 level
unsure of happiness (haven't tested)
3 new pokemon
10 items

I think that's worth it.

EDIT: also, anyone know how to unlock the extra slots in the pokewalker?

 

[Johto-Master]

the only level thing is a disappointment, i still think its better than nothing, because school still takes away from my pokémon time, so the least i could do is get and extra level a day and some rare 'Walker items, pokémon, and whatever the walker may throw our way, plus i'll get a good chance at finding that flying pikachu:025ball:

 

[PokemonTrainerAriel]

Speaking for myself, I use to be a Tamagotchi fan long ago. And if it is anything like a Tamagotchi, it won't break with just a drop on to the carpet, or even a hardwood floor.

yeah me too. the never break NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY!!! I got bored so...
