    HGSS introduced the pokewalker, a pedometer with benefits for your game. Not only would your Pokémon gain experience from the number of steps you had on our pokewalker, but you could also receive various items and Pokémon.

    Did you use the pokewalker? Are you still using it? What are your thoughts on it? Do you think the concept will ever be brought back for future games?

    I used the Pokewalker, but I ended up losing it. :/ But I got a few cool Pokémon out of it, like a couple Dratini, one of which made it onto my final lineup. I liked it a lot while I had it. :) But I have my doubts about it being brought back.

    I liked the pokewalker but I didn't really use it well and the fact that I somehow managed to lose one and lost Heart Gold was just a bummer :(

    I used it pretty consistently for quite awhile, until generation 5 probably, my main problem was that there was very few Pokémon available. I did really like it though. Especially the pikachu forest, that was an vent route, with surfing and flying pikachu.

    I have two PokéWalkers since I got both games, and they were pretty fun! I never used them a whole lot, though- I mainly just clipped them to my belt because they looked cool, haha.

    I never had a Pokéwalker myself, but the idea sounds pretty cool. It could actually very well return in the future, since the 3DS has a built-in pedometer itself. They could easily do something with that!

    I brought my Pokewalker with me on a couple of runs before, but it didn't count all my steps correctly. It was frustrating at times, but I loved the whole concept of taking your Pokémon with you on the go. Unfortunately my Pokewalker broke because I left it in my running shorts and the washing machine was..... a one hit KO.

    I didn't use it.
    I just didn't really get it? So I stuffed them away. Still have them x3

    I remember when I sent my Pokewalker through the Washing Machine. It made me sad :(

    The Pokewalker was a lot of fun and I used it all of the time. HG/SS might be one of my least fav games, but they sure had some cool features.

    I didn't use it personally but my friend did volunteer to keep it on her for me during work since she walked around a lot there. She gathered tons of steps across a year or two but by the time I got it back (another year or two later) I was already mostly finished with playing HG/SS so I couldn't take advantage of it.. v o v But gah good grief, all those steps I got. iirc the Pokémon that sat in there for years was either Arcanine or Sharpedo. Poor thing, trapped for as long as it was. :'(

    I remember bringing it to school each day and connecting with the pokewalkers of all the other kids that played Pokémon. It was a great way to show off your Pokémon because we weren't allowed DSs in primary school.

    I liked the concept, but it was introduced a little too late. Would've worked better in the actual 8-bit era with the original GSC. If they do decide to bring the concept back, hopefully they can graphically improve it and/or add more features to it.

    I got the pokewalker with soulsilver and was really excited to use it, but manages to lose it almost immediately ._. I'm not sure how I managed it but it was really disappointing. I feel like I'd have used it a bunch if I hadn't lost it

    I used to bring this with me to school! This was such a good idea. They need to bring this back.

    I love using the pokewalker but I keep losing them. :sweat: It actually did encourage me to walk more.

    That was until I discovered the magic of Action Replays. T_T

    If my pokewalker didn't break, I'd for sure still be using it......but it did break, and my ralts is trapped in there forever.
    It was a lot of fun though, and I enjoyed using it.

    I lost my Pokewalker in the first week of HG/SS. Tis a sad story.
    I was jogging and I didn't realize it fell. I was a bit sad, but I moved on without it~
