Discuss the poke-walker here Most of you mightn't be using it though :P well i unlocked the final route this morning, now to catch a spritomb, it's playing hard to catch too also the only way to get a legit spritomb, unless you got 2 pokemon platinum games/ds Title: Re: Pokewalker Topic Post by: Kloud on April 13, 2011, 11:22:19 am I use my two all the time :) I'm restarting my SS with Pokewalker soon, plan on hacking it for all courses instantly unlocked. Because I've got my HG nearly done, and I want the event courses that aren't released to us Americans. OH YAY. xD

http://thegazette.com/2011/04/15/pokewalker-beats-other-pedometers-in-iowa-state-study/ Pokémon titles - is the most accurate device for counting steps, according to researchers at Iowa State University. The results were presented recently at an experimental biology conference by Lorraine Lanningham-Foster, an Iowa State professor who has been studying the Pokéwalker's usefulness since its release. This study, which found the Pokéwalker most accurate counting steps taken on a treadmill at four different speeds, is a first step in ongoing research on the device, and how it encourages physical activity among kids. "Pokémon is a big toy for kids," Lanningham-Foster said. "And that's why I was so interested in it is the idea that we have yet another active gaming format for kids." If you're thinking this research is being funded by Nintendo, nope; it's funded by Iowa State's Nutrition and Wellness Research Center.
