:Pretty much ANYTHING is possible to hack. I don't think anyone's really pursued the hacking of the Pokéwalker yet, though. In any case, the game would probably need to be hacked as well before anything hacked could be transferred back, so it's probably not worth the effort. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 14:45, 11 April 2010 (UTC) | :Pretty much ANYTHING is possible to hack.

::It would be interesting if someone were to use an IR recording setup to capture and document the communication between the game and the pokewalker. Once we know the language, we can replicate it. Gift 9,999 watts then gift another 9,999 ten seconds later... - [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] 19:28, 14 April 2010 (UTC) | ::It would be interesting if someone were to use an IR recording setup to capture and document the communication between the game and the pokewalker.

Others I spoke to--and even myself--originally thought that the leftmost or rightmost grass tufts had better chances (when taking second pick into account), but I did the probabilistic math and it turns out that no matter which tuft you pick, your second pick choice will always give you the same opportunity. If that's not making sense; basically there's no difference in your overall chance of finding an item between ''any'' of the grass tufts. All assuming completely random item placement, of course. I can post the detailed math if anyone's interested. I know it's not really important, but it seems to be a point of confusion among people I've spoken to. Might be worth clearing it up in the argticle.. - [[User:Exawatt|Exawatt]] 19:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
