 Each Pokéwalker area has three advantageous [[type]]s which vary between areas, and have influence over the Pokéwalker's Poké Radar and Dowsing Machine. When a Pokémon of an advantageous type is brought into an area, then the chance of finding rarer Pokémon when using the Poké Radar and items when using the Dowsing Machine will slightly increase. In addition to making rarer Pokémon easier to find when using the Poké Radar, an advantageous type will lower the required step count for each Pokémon by 25%. This effect does not apply to the Dowsing Machine.
-The Pokéwalker can be used without a Pokémon stored in it. It will continue to accumulate steps and watts. The Dowsing Machine can still be used, but the Poké Radar cannot, as no battle could take place. In addition, Pokémon from the route being walked may voluntarily join in the Pokéwalker seemingly at random, taking the spot of the missing Pokémon, essentially being caught for free.

 When a Pokéwalker is synced with a new game, the language of the Pokéwalker will change to match that game. For example, if a Pokéwalker that came with a Japanese game is synced with an English game, after syncing, the Pokéwalker will be in English.
+Additionally, the "Receive Gifts" option will function regardless of whether the Pokéwalker was originally linked with the current copy of HeartGold or SoulSilver, even if the originally linked cartridge is in a different language. Pokémon obtained via Poké Radar and transferred this way will always match the Trainer ID, Trainer name, and game language of the recipient's game, not the originally linked game.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3837</ref><ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-etPYFvFmDarEiIjhETrKkl7fJjo01tcH3K8SOEe5iM/</ref>
