‘PokeWalker’ Included With Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver
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.

do i need wifi to transfer pokemon?
no wifi needed, it uses local wireless, just like if u were going to play a game with someone else in the room.
So the pokewalker is inside the little ds box or is it like the Bakugan game where you have to buy a big box with the pokewalker?
Please email me when I can purchase the Pokemon Heartgold with the Pokemon Pedometer. Also, please let me know the price for this item plus shipping. Thanks!
Hi Linda, the game is out March 14, 2010 in the US and price depends where you buy it from, shop around for the best deal!
