Just in case you needed more incentive to pick thePokémon GoldandSilverremakes this fall, let it be known that you will be getting abonus pedometerpacked into the box. Speaking as someone who actually owned thePokémon Pikachu pedometer(back when I was less fat and knew what walking was), this is interesting news indeed.
The Poké Walker is a special peripheral that can beam infrared signals to your DSi via the game cart (thanks, Reenee). you’re able to use the Walker to carry Pokémon around, and they will gain experience with your footsteps. You’ll also earn “watts,” which act as currency for the game.
Sounds fun. Perhaps I’ll actually bother to go outside for once if I have this. That, or I’ll just shake the thing in my hand and laugh gleefully at how I broke the system and am lying to each and every Pokémon I lovingly raise.
