I was very impressed.. I even recieved the instructions on how to reset and activate the new pokewalker.. After mine took a drastic wash in the clothes washer... D=
I love it! It came in a pack just like when it was NEW!!
Get it from Nintendo April 13, 2010 xjellymunchkin (Buffalo, NY) 28 out of 31 found this review helpful
Pokémon Pokéwalker Portable Pedometer Virtual Pet Game Device
This product is an awesome and much needed addition to the newest Pokemon Games for the Nintendo DSi, Heart Gold and Soul Silver. You can load a Pokemon onto it, and it has a little pedometer that tracks your Pokemon's steps as it follows you throughout your day. You can also battle/catch up to 2 additional Pokemon on it, and use the Dowsing machine to find up to 3 random items (i.e.: shards, potions, etc). And (BONUS!), if you and a friend both have Pokemon loaded into your Pokewalkers, you can point and 'Connect' them and your Pokemon will frolic/play together; when you do this, you get a gift item! Dorky, I know, but it's pretty damn supercool.
Please Note:
- This accessory comes FREE with Heart Gold and Soul Silver
- This accessory can ONLY be used with Heart Gold and Soul Silver
- If you lose your Pokewalker, you CAN 'force' the Pokemon in it to come back (read the game manual); you will also want to de-link your lost Pokewalker afterwards so you can sync your replacement without issue.
- Nintendo will send you a new Pokewalker for about fifteen bucks to replace a lost/stolen one.
Buy it from the nintendo store August 10, 2010 Ryanagin 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A neat device to get kids out and about even for a little bit. You are better off going to [...] and buying it for 8.99 plus S/H from their website. Hopefully someone else will start distributing this item.
What the huh? August 10, 2010 Trumbull Tiger 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I like buying things from Amazon, as it's a convenient one-stop-shopping trip. But $12.99 PLUS $9.99 shipping? It's $8.95 plus $5.00 shipping from Nintendo. If you buy two (this is a replacement - they're easy to lose, that's why you're here), the "Amazon" shipping doubles, but the Nintendo shipping price doesn't change. So, if you buy one:
"Amazon": 12.99 + 9.99 = 22.98
Nintendo: 8.95 + 5.00 = 13.95
If you buy two:
"Amazon": 25.98 + 18.98 = 44.96
Nintendo: 17.90 + 5.00 = 22.90
The Pokewalker itself is really pretty cool. If your kids are going to be glued to their DSs, there might as well be some incentive for them to move about when they're not! My 9-year old HATES gym, but this got him to at least be enthusiastic about running the laps...
Don't buy it at these prices, though.
your kidding right June 23, 2010 Daniel Lee Gallegos (NYC) 5 out of 9 found this review helpful
14.99 plus the expensive shipping and handling
are you kidding, almost 20+ dollars for this
your better off buying soul silver or heartgold and get this free
this is a rip off buying it separately and if you already have those games, just buy it for the pokewalker and sell the game or trade it to someone
geez amazon, your embarrassing yourself
