In today's episode of Pokemon Sunday, Shoko announced the new PokéWalker (ポケウォーカー) portable device that allows players of the upcoming Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver games to transfer their Pokemon to the device to train them on the go. The device includes a pedometer which allows people to train their Pokémon up to level 100 by walking around. The device also looks like it will have mini-games.



Nintendo released press images today of the PokeWalker. "The PokeWalker will convert your steps into watts, a currency that can be used to catch wild Pokemon and shop for tools." (IGN) The Pokemon can then be sent back into Heart Gold and Soul Silver by wirelessly syncing to your Nintendo DS or DSi.
