Undo revision 1129402 by BPcodered51 (Talk) That's very poorly worded, you can go on a "stroll" and not get a level. Also, a few is 3.

The '''Pokéwalker''' (Japanese: '''ポケウォーカー''' ''Pokéwalker'') is a {{wp|pedometer}} device specifically for use with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} that is able to interact with the games in various manners. It was released on September 12, 2009 in Japan bundled with every copy of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and then later released with every English copy of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver on March 14, 2010. The accessory features a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped design with a small LCD, Monochrome screen, with three functioning buttons. The Pokéwalker supports infrared signals allowing players to interact with each other within very short range, or with a [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo DS Lite]] or [[Nintendo DSi]] system. | The '''Pokéwalker''' (Japanese: '''ポケウォーカー''' ''Pokéwalker'') is a {{wp|pedometer}} device specifically for use with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} that is able to interact with the games in various manners.

Every time the player takes a step, the Pokémon inside gains experience points and the player earns "Watts" which can be exchanged for a chance to obtain items and Pokémon. Players can also catch various Pokémon on the device and obtain items, then transfer them to the game. Alongside the [[Johto Safari Zone]], the Pokéwalker allows for Pokémon normally unavailable until after the player has traveled to [[Kanto]], such as {{p|Murkrow}}, to be available before defeating the Elite Four. | ||
Much as HeartGold and SoulSilver are remakes of the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Pokéwalker could be considered to be somewhat of a remake of the [[Pokémon Pikachu 2]], which interacted in much the same way with the [[Generation II]] games. Unlike the Pokémon Pikachu 2, however, Pikachu is not the only Pokémon that can be interacted with, and Pokémon can actually be transferred to ''and'' from the Pokéwalker at any given point in time. Like the [[Pokémon Pikachu]] and its successor, the Pokéwalker uses a currency known as "watts" (shortened to ''w''), which are obtained as the {{player}} walks with the device. Every 20 steps will earn the player one watt. | Much as HeartGold and SoulSilver are remakes of the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, the Pokéwalker could be considered to be somewhat of a remake of the [[Pokémon Pikachu 2]], which interacted in much the same way with the [[Generation II]] games.
