pokemon soulsilver:pokewalker

i love the pokewalker. i have stuff to warn you about though... (this happened to me so we returned it and got another...)

1. its OKAY to turn the power off after a pokemon is sent to the pokewalker before your ds saves. you can then level it up in game as well as having it in your pokewalker.

2. DO NOT turn off the power when a pokemon is coming back. you will lose it forever. it may ruin your pokewalker so you can't put another pokemon back in.

3.the pokewalker claims that it goes with you game CARD, but it really goes with your original trainer number. this is the five digit number that every trainer gets. for example: 31064 or 79462. if you start another file after you register it to one file it will say it is already registered and you will NEVER be able to use the pokewalker again.

now some tips....

catching pokemon

-evading makes a pokemon likely to flee especially if used more than twice in a row
-only use a pokeball at one bar, you only have one pokeball per pokemon before it flees

connecting

-put it on a flat surface less than 3 inches away. (its VERY paticular)
-the ds has to have the "press connect" schreen on your connection to work
-don't feel discouraged the first three times if it still doesn't connect keep trying and experimenting

steps

-to get free steps without walking, move your arm in a "not-too-fast not-too-slow" movement up and down.
-NOTE: it doesn't work every time you may have to try seven or eight times to get this to work, but it can get you 50watts in a few minutes.
-once this starts working keep looking at the steps, if it stops going up,stop and try in a different direction.

i hope you use these to your advantage. i will make a list of pokewalker pokemon on routes and how common soon. bye :D
