The Pokewalkers included with the DS games Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver are interesting little pedometer peripherals, but also a bit awkward. Yes, they each come with little belt clips that you can attach to the device so you can easily clip it to a belt, but that can be a bit boring.

I mean, if you don’t wear belts, then you have to attach the Pokewalker a pocket, which may not be as secure. And if your pants don’t have pockets, or you’re wearing a skirt or dress, then there’s no place to clip it. At that point, you’d have to resort to tossing it into your bag, which could prove disasterous. It could emerge scuffed or with buttons inadvertantly pressed, wasting watts. Worse, it could be lost or broken.

So to help you out, Gamertell’s come up with some Pokewalker fashion dos and don’ts. You can easily see what would, or wouldn’t work if you decided to display and wear your Pokewalker…

The Pokewalker is a handy little pedometer device included with every new copy of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. It not only serves as a means of getting Pokemon players out and walking, it also helps you train pokemon and find special items.

See, when a pokemon is transferred over, they get to explore a virtual world while you’re walking in the real one. They’ll earn experience points, find items battle wild pokemon and perhaps even battle. You don’t “have” to transfer a pokemon over. You can still earn watts for new routes and such while walking with your Pokewalker with no transferred pokemon in it, but the experience is more fun and rewarding when you do…

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver released last week and now comes the announcement of a special Pokéwalker course.

The new course will be aptly named Yellow Forest and it will involve a forest and the sheer number of Pikachu inside lends to the color in the title.

The Pokéwalker is a Pokéball-shaped device that is essentially a pedometer with some minigames in it. Don’t get me wrong, that hasn’t stopped me from carrying mine clipped to my belt from day to day. I caught an Oddish earlier, so everyone who thinks I’m weird can just chew on that.

In October, 2000, Nintendo released Pokemon Gold and Silver for the Game Boy Color in North America. Now, almost 10 years later, the games have been revived and reborn as Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver for the DS. It’s a welcome arrival, especially since many Pokemon fans may have missed out, and not even been old enough, to play the original incarnations.

Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver‘s story is a familiar one. A young boy or girl from a small town happens to live near a renowned pokemon professor, in this case Professor Elm, and loves pokemon. One day, he have the opportunity to assist this professor and get a pokemon of his very own. After completing a short errand for the professor, it is discovered that he has a talent for working with and training pokemon, and sets out to face all of the region’s eight gym leaders. Along the way there’ll also be bad guys to defeat (Team Rocket), a rival to trounce and finally the Elite Four to conquer.

However, HeartGold and SoulSilver are almost like two games in one. Once you’ve done all that good stuff above in the game’s main region, Johto, players will have the opportunity to return to Kanto, the region traversed in the original Pokemon games…

In case you missed the old promotional disc for the GameCube that would let you get this powerful, and cute, Pokémon, Nintendo is finally giving the current generation a chance to pick up the legendary Jirachi.

On the off chance that you’re willing to be seen in a GameStop attempting to gather a rare Pokémon, the wireless distribution begins February 27, 2010, and will end on March 13, 2010, in US stores. Any Pokémon Pearl, Diamond or Platinum game will be able to take part. This is, conveniently, just before the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In case you were still unsure about the state of Pokewalkers, even though Amazon already leaked the news that they would be released outside of Japan, get ready to breathe a sigh of relief. Nintendo has officially announced that every Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver will come with a Pokewalker peripheral. Looks like a lot of DS owners will be getting spiffy new pedometers.

Nintendo made a special announcement just to confirm the existence and release of the peripheral, and also took the time to detail just how the Pokewalker will work. The device can connect to any DS or DSi with Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver inserted. You simply start your game with the Pokewalker nearby, then choose to transfer one of your pokemon to the Pokewalker. Any pokemon can be transfered to the device, so you don’t have to worry about picking one from a small list of compatible critters. You then walk like you normally do….

We knew that Nintendo was going to release the latest DS Pokemon incarnations, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver worldwide. The series is one of Nintendo’s most popular franchise. There were just two things we didn’t know – when and if it would include the Pokewalker pedometer peripheral. Thanks to a recent Amazon.com product listing link, we have some answers.

Amazon.com now has listings for both Pokemon HeartGold and Pokemon SoulSilver. Both listings provide box art, have March 14, 2010 release dates and are priced at $34.99.

The box art image is what’s intriguing. In the bottom right corner, it shows a picture of the PokeWalker pedometer peripheral that came with every Japanese copy of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Underneath the image it says…

The inevitable announcement has come. Nintendo has confirmed that it is planning to release the latest DS Pokemon games, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, to North America and Europe in Spring 2010. The news came during the 2009 Pokemon World Championships, a Pokemon Trading Card Game event held August 14-15, 2009 in San Diego.

As fans of the series who’ve been following the news out of Japan probably know, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver are DS remakes of the original GBA games Pokemon Gold and Silver, only with additional content added in. Both games are scheduled to be released September 12, 2009 in Japan, so everyone else has to wait a little under a year.

The official announcement is incredibly brief, omitting quite a few details concerning Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Like, for example, the PokeWalker…
