HeartGold and SoulSilver's Pokéwalker Requires Thousand Mile Trek
- Thread starter Tom Goldman

I've been wearing them to Sixth Form and work everyday. Clocked up about 32,000 steps yesterday 
Also: Being in the UK and getting Soul Silver two weeks before its released here rocks.

Try what shit? Favourite is the correct spelling.Jarrid said:
Maybe it needs to be the accepted spelling in your area. I guarantee you, being told that your country's spelling conventions are wrong, could not be nearly as annoying as reading dozens of forums posters laughing at the word pedometer.
Well if you'd start spelling things correctly it wouldn't be a problem. Its called English for a reason you know eh wot.
And if you havn't figured it out, I'm deliberately riling you up. We Australian's have a tendency towards shit-stirring.
Though honestly I really can't see the reasoning behind having 2 (or more) variations on the English language, especially when it can help avoid confusion (immaturity?) like that shown here.
I also find it funny, that people here go off their nut at people who are too "lazy" to use punctuation/grammar/spelling. Yet an entire country decides to devalue the letter "u" in the name of "efficiency" (I assume) and hardly anybody cares.
I'm surprised you still put a "u" after the letter "q", it really doesn't serve any purpose since "q" is (almost) always followed by a "u".
So long story short, spell it how you want to, but I don't have to like it.
Hmmm. That's kinda cool. I think that 1000 miles is a bit much, but it's an interesting idea. I may have to get these games. I alwaya have like gold/silver/crystal much better than the rest.
I'm not sure I understand this section, although the amount of sarcasm here stings more than when I pee.LTK_70 said:
For those of you who haven't got it yet, Nintendo is milking this fucker for nostalgia purposes without really changing anything (I've posted a full list on these forums yesterday, there's nothing really there different from the original games that they're changing aside from graphics). That's precisely why it's going to be mine, normally I despise this kind of thing, but it was the original Pokemon Gold was the first game I ever owned and played, and I played it for 5 years before I lost the game.
Though "keeping Nintendo Alive" isn't something I'm sure I like the idea of. We need to ***** slap those fuckers until they make something new and interesting. I honestly don't think that aside from the Wii motion games there haven't been any new franchises that Nintendo has made in years (and calling motion games or the fitness game a "new" franchise is laughable and no, 3rd party games are made FOR Nintendo by outside companies, Nintendo has 0 real involvement in their creation).
Isn't this just like the old Digimon Pendulum things? I NEVER walked with those, just... sat on the couch and shook em till something came up.
You might not walk 1000 miles, but at least your arm will get some exercise. Or some more exercise, (if you're a guy, ).

He's right, it's called ENGLISH because the language was created in ENGLAND. America is the only country who have chosen to butt-fuck the spoken language due to vocal laziness and have forcibly attempted to impress it upon others.fletch_talon said:
Let's see here...
The letter Z's name is not pronounced "Zee", it's pronounced "Zed", People don't care that your abortionary change is easier to pronounce, you don't just change hundreds upon hundreds of years of linguistics due to the laziness spawned in the past hundred years.
"Mom" is also not correct, it's "Mum", we don't care that your accent makes it SOUND like an "o" it's spelt with a "u", it always has and unfortunately for you, it always will be.
"Color" is spelt "Colour", The world doesn't care that the letter appears redundant, the spelling style have been implemented hundreds of years ago and has never changed, this is so that words could sound the same but have different meanings which could be told apart due to spelling and context, not to mention subtle sound differences (technically this is particularly because the "our" isn't meant to sound like "or", though it is similar with it sounding much softer and dragged out "or"), meaning that the concept would have to be spread throughout the language.
I could go on, but I feel that the rest of the actual English speaking world is swearing out the countless other changes that have been pulled out of the asses of lazed retards who couldn't handle simple spelling and thereafter upon America and then forced upon everyone else through sheer reasoning of "We said so, we don't care if there's much less of us, but we WANTS IT!".
This part is true, we Australians are fucking asshats. Hell, us Aussies often show affection towards each other this way as well.
I'll finish this horrendous rant in the words of an Australian Icon.
"They're Not Fries! They're FUCKING CHIPS!"
They don't go up steps if you shake them. I'm not sure of the hardware but you have to shake it in a very very specific motion and direction that mimics what happens when you walk. So its easier just to walk than spending 20 minutes trying every combination of speed and direction you can think of. Touche Nintendo.Furrama said:Isn't this just like the old Digimon Pendulum things? I NEVER walked with those, just... sat on the couch and shook em till something came up.

if you like metal music, or play anything with a double bass drum, attaching it to/inside of your sock and drumming as you play works really well. i got to about 8000 steps in an hour this morning as i got through Ecruteak.gothic wolf said:
the day we got it, my friend and I ran on his parents treadmill all day. it was actually really fun
now we've discovered if you tap it on your leg or in your sock and tap your feet that works too.
Possibly because instead you'd "be the man who walked a thousand miles to catch a Bulbasaur".John Funk said:
Well, you can't shake it up and down. You have to shake it like forward...hold the pokewalker in three fingers just like they do in the show and thrust forward. Took me five seconds to figure out. And I WOULD walk one thousand miles to get fit, because I'm skinny as shit. I lost one of my pokewalkers today(it fell off of my pants fucking shitty clip, don't use it, it counts more steps in your pockets anyway) AND the other cracked...I'm really not sure what to do....
I suggest a paint shaker or jigsaw.
I wish more games gave you bonuses for doing stuff in the real world..

I hear you mocking Nintendo, but think about how cool a game that made you do tasks to evolve Pokemon would be.Twad said:

You are simplifying it.Deviltongue said:
It stops recording if you just shake it.
You have to get it into a particular motion that replicates walking.
The fastest way you could ACTUALLY cheat is by taping it to the center of a fan. But I still like that it gives me a record of my steps in a day
. No necessity to cheat. Kind of like cheating on wii fit.They aren't stupid. They just don't care if people are fat lazy jackasses. Not saying you are, just pointing out why they aren't stupid. You could think of reasons to criticize the company, people being too lazy to walk is not their problem.Noobis said:
Yup. That's why it came WITH the game. Lord knows those money grubbing bastards just had to make me get it with my game.Twad said:
I prefer other less stingy companies that make me buy it separated for half the cost of the title.
God I hate nintendo. I'm so with Twad on this.
I brought mine to the gym and have it on when I run the treadmill. I have been able to rack up points that way.
