(poll) PokeWalk: EPIC WIN or EPIC FAIL

Similar to the little pikachu-pet knick-knack of the before time, the pokewalk is gonna allow players to walk to receive 'watts'. you'll also be able to insert one pokemon from in-game into the device to walk around. you are rewarded with things such as experience, items (dowsing), and wild pokemon availability.

what do you think about it?

Hm it sounds interesting but I wouldn't call it epic.

"EPIC WIN!" That's such a creative idea, and I'm almost always biking, so I would always use it.

I had the "Hey you Pikachu" thing if that's what your talking about it being like. Honestly, now that the Tomagathci fad is long dead, it's kinda pointless to still be making these things.

Probably the biggest thing to happen to the series since the addition of WiFi

You can take your Pokemon, throw it in the holder, and go to school or work and have the guy level up

Now people are saying you can cheat and that's true, you can. The thing though is that instead of wasting time shaking the holder back and forth you just have to play a few trainers in the game for that EXP so it doesn't make sense to use this when you have ability to play the game.

I think it's a brilliant idea. To be able to level up pokemon without playing the game. Isn't that brilliant? Yes it is. It is an EPIC WIN!!!!

Mainly because I don't have much time to play my ds, i'm usually doing things with my friends, so i'll have some good pokemon from that. Good idea Nintendo!

I'd feel so stupid walking around with it, but at the same time, i love the idea :?

It's a gimmick.

Same. I'm very active so it would be great for me.

I don't see anyone wasting time like that

If you have the choice of fighting two hard trainers for EXP that takes all of under 5 mins or shake this widget for a half hour or more just to approach that EXP why on Earth would anyone do it?

Well, I am normally VERY busy, Acting in Theatre, Basketball, Volleyball, Ice Skating, School, etc but since it's summer I am on my DS way more, so I have more time to just EV train my Pokemon on the game, although it is a good idea while I have those rehearsals for Basketball, Volleyball and Ice Skating (Not Theatre, it's more of a big deal, on stage preformances XD) I can use that to train a Pokemon =D

At first sight, I thought it would be a knock-off of Tamagotchi. But, for an overly active person like me, I would wonder how many steps I've taken in the day.:P

Of course not, you wouldn't be able to make it move

You wear it while you're alive

I swear, sometimes I have to explain everything here :P

I walk at least an hour every day so this is pretty "Epic Win" for me. I was really excited when I heard about the PokeWalker.

Go Nintendo innovators go!

A free pack-in to a game I've wanted for a long time that features real-time advancements to any pokemon you place into it.

How is this, in any way, a bad thing? Its not absolutely groundbreaking, but geez, its a free giveaway. If you are THAT much against it then don't buy the game.

How is shaking it repeatedly cheating?

It would probably take longer to level your pokemon by shaking that thing then it would to just legitimately go through the elite four for a while.

[QUOTE="TriniPlayer"][QUOTE="Milkncooke"] Because you can cheat by just shaking it! It totally defeats the purpose of even having it.Milkncooke

[QUOTE="Milkncooke"][QUOTE="TriniPlayer"] Cheating??,are you serious??nobody don't give a damn or not if you decide to shake it and its definitely not doing anyone any harm.TriniPlayer

[QUOTE="TriniPlayer"][QUOTE="Milkncooke"] No I wasn't serious, it was sarcasm. I couldn't care less if someone was dumb enough to shake a pedometer to level up their pokemon.Milkncooke

Free?,i really don't consider the pedometer to be "free",i consider it a new feature in pokemon gamingand you don't know for sure if it will be faster/easier to level up pokemon in the game than in the pedometer.As far as i'm shaking a pedometer,i don't really give a damn on what people says cause it will be mine and i could do whatever the hell i want to do with it.

I like how it works and what it does, but if I wear it in public it will be hidden.
