The Nintendo DS re-makes of Pokemon Gold and Silver will be bundled with this little peripheral, known as the ‘PokeWalker‘. It is basically a pedometer shaped as a Pokeball.
This nifty little gadget connects with your DS via infrared and you can transfer a Pokemon who is then visible on the screen. Stick it in your pocket and as you walk around the Pokemon gains experience thanks to your effort and becuase of this its affection for you will also grow.Your footsteps are converted into ‘watts’ by the PokeWalker which can be used to catch other wild Pokemon and sent back to the DS game.
No news yet on a western release but Japanese can expect the Pokeball along with the updated Heart Gold and Soul Silver games this fall.
