Syncing mechanics don't belong under Resetting ; Resetting doesn't affect the Pokéwalker (half the time it'll be *lost* after all), it affects the saved game (data)

 After a sync with the games, any Pokémon caught in the Pokéwalker will be put into a PC box, while any items found on the device will be placed into the Bag's appropriate pocket. The game will also display a diary of specific events that occurred to the Pokémon in the Pokéwalker. The Pokéwalker can connect with any DS system, as 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 GS if the games were not played on a [[Game Boy Color]]).
+It should also be noted that when a Pokéwalker is synced with a new game, the Pokéwalker will become the language the game is. 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. This suggests that very little data is stored on the Pokéwalker itself.
 ==Troubleshooting and exploitation==
 ===Pokémon retrieval===
-A Pokémon that has been transferred onto a Pokéwalker is not actually sent to the device, rather, the Pokémon's data is copied and sent. The targeted Pokémon is instead put aside, and cannot 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 [[friendship]] unaffected.

 Nintendo used to sell individual Pokéwalkers, battery covers, and clip covers as replacements on their [http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchView?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&langId=-1&currency=USD&ignoreCrumbs=&crumb1=&crumb1Ignore=&crumb2=&crumb2Ignore=&crumb3=&crumb3Ignore=&translateFrom=%C3%88%C3%89%C3%87&translateTo=EEC&usrSearchText=Pokewalker&searchText=POKEWALKER&selSrchType=&page=&view=&productId=&categoryId=&lastAction=&orderTotal=null&tranId=0&jktranid=&rpComment=&dropOff=&userSearchText=Pokewalker&bnSubmit.x=0&bnSubmit.y=0 online store].
 ===Reset settings===
-Once a Pokémon is forcefully retrieved from the system, the Pokéwalker which holds the Pokémon's details is unusable. A Pokéwalker's settings must be deleted and reset before making it usable again. The settings on the game can be reset and deleted by pressing and holding Down, X, and L at the Pokéwalker connection screen. This must be done to avoid [[Cloning glitches#Pokéwalker|a cloning glitch]]. After resetting a Pokéwalker, it may be synced with another game, or a new file.
+If a game has already been synced with one Pokéwalker, the game's settings must be reset before it can be used with a new Pokéwalker (such as if the original Pokéwalker was lost). This is done while on the game's Pokéwalker menu, by pressing and holding Down, X, and L. After confirming that Pokéwalker data should be reset, the game will reset the number of Watts collected and steps taken to 0; previously unlocked routes are not affected, however. After this, the game will be able to create a new link with a Pokéwalker.
-It should also be noted that when synced with a new game, the Pokéwalker will become the language the game is. For example, if a Pokéwalker that came with a Japanese game is synced with an English game, after syncing, the Pokéwalker would be in English. This proves that very little data is stored on the Pokéwalker itself; most likely only the Pokémon on it and the player's party is stored on it. The latter is for the [[Trainer House]].
