 Coming bundled with the games themselves, the Pokéwalker's most important means of communication is with a copy of Pokémon HeartGold or Pokémon SoulSilver. The Pokéwalker syncs with the time on the Nintendo DS system it links with. As long as a Pokémon is on the Pokéwalker, the specific game it came from is locked to that Pokéwalker, and will only send back to the same save file.
-After a sync with the games, any Pokémon caught in the Pokéwalker will be put into a PC box, while items found in the device will be placed into the bag's appropriate pocket. A diary will be kept on the game of specific events related to the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker. The Pokéwalker will connect to any DS system since the infrared receiver is in the game cartridge itself, rather than on the system (as was the case with Gold, Silver, and Crystal, making them cut off from communication with Pokémon Pikachu 2 if the games weren't played in a [[Game Boy Color]]).

 ===Pokémon retrieval===
-A Pokémon that has been transferred onto a Pokéwalker isn't actually sent to the device, but rather copied and the data for the Pokémon is sent. The targeted Pokémon is instead put aside, and can't be used in the game, until the data has been returned to that game. Therefore, if a Pokéwalker is lost or damaged, the Pokémon is not lost. Pokémon can be restored to the game it was taken from if a Pokéwalker is lost or broken by pressing and holding Up, Select, and R at the Pokéwalker connection screen. The Pokémon will be returned to the PC box with its level and happiness unaffected.
