Is anybody using the Pokewalker? I'm starting to use it just to see what I can find in these special courses with Jirachi. I think there are some exclusive items in there.
How about you?
The first two days, I was addicted to it. Then Custom told me that leveling up in the PokeWalker doesn't raise stats. Now I'm trying to get watts, build happiness with my Togepi, and get a Clefairy from the Jirachi Route.
Seriously though, I honestly think it's a darn good inclusion with the game. One of the main reasons I bought it. The little thing reminds me of Pokemon Pikachu 2. <3
it let me get my magby and kangaskhan
too bad its difficult to find the right way to shake it

Um, stop cheating.
I just beat the second gym, but I still haven't used it yet. I think i'm going to transfer over Togepi tomorrow just to collect items.
Mostly have used it for Togepi to try and get it's happiness up. Any idea how many steps will be needed to get it happy enough to evolve?
Yeah you can't shake it as fast as you could those Pokemon Pikachu things. And Jirachi opens up a route? I need one of those
So wait...
Can you actually put it up on a ceiling fan for it to work?
Probably, if you put it on low. As for the right way to shake it, roughly three motions a second works for me.
I mean. Um. I said nothing?
On Jirachi's area, I found shards, Star Dust(it's everywhere) Moonstones, and a Psychic TM. And Geodudes, Zubats, Jigglypuff, and a single Clefairy.

Neat. What other ways work of cheating it? A few of my friends were thinking of strapping it to there hyper pets.

Several of my friends and I tried it. It works to an extent, but not anywhere near as well as I hoped. I dug out an old pedometer of my father's and tried it with that and it works extremely well. So, obviously they figured out a way around typical motion going towards the counts. I'm not sure how the technology works, but the fan trick doesn't work that well.

I never had the Pokémon Pikachu 2. The first one was awesome though. You can build happiness with the Pokéwalker? I guess I'm sending my Togepi there tonight.
today i discovered that putting it on top of a rumbling controller works well
Stats don't raise? D:
I've mainly been using it to catch Pokemon.
Stats dont raise? D: Isn't that impossible?
Also, I stash it in my backpack when I go to school. Good 4,000 steps or so a day
Stats don't raise...That sucks. I was excited to see people overgrind the crap out of it just by putting it on a treadmill and coming up with all these ways to outdo each others ideas for it. :D

Ah, interesting. Wonder what everyone else will come up with.
I get like 8K steps a day. I can't tell if this is too few or too many. D:

well, apparently nintendo reccomends 10k steps a day, and even then it takes 200 days to get all the courses

"To get all the courses" wat? Can you clarify what you meant with that?

Pokewalker courses. You know, Noisy Forest, Rugged Road....

I don't even have this game so I honestly don't know what you're talking about at all; I'm still interested to know. I'm actually highly interested now in using it in the summer especially since I go to the gym often (well there I do D: )
the more watts you send over to HG/SS form the pokewalker the more courses or places you can unlock in it. You get 1 watt for every 20 steps.

Stats increase. It wouldn't make sense if they didn't. My jirachi went from 5 to 6 and its stats increased as if it had recieved a rare candy(AKA a level up without EV distribution")
Yeah they increased. Without it, yes. Nothing would make sense. You just get no EVs. Whoever said they didn't increase is a moron. However, you can only grow a maximum of one level per walk. The happiness boost is pretty good though.
