Bundled pedometer with Gold/Silver remakes

June 8, 2009 - Nintendo is remaking Pokemon Gold and Silver into Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. We've known this much since last month.

But what no one knew about until now is the little special extra Nintendo is preparing for the title. In Japan, each copy of Heart Gold and Soul Silver will come bundled with a PokeWalker, a pedometer that looks like a Pokeball.

You can transfer a single Pokemon from Heart Gold and Soul Silver into this device, carrying your little friend with you when you go out. As you walk, the internal Pokemon gains experience and grows happier.

Additionally, the PokeWalker converts your steps into watts, a currency that can be used to catch wild Pokemon and shop for tools. These can then be sent back into Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

Philly VGCs

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share the pictures my girlfriend took while we were at the Philly VGC's. Too bad this and our milotic are the only things Mike and I have to show for it. I can only hope Nintendo returns to a Journey Across America format or something because they way they handled this tournament kinda stunk.
