If you got SoulSilver or HeartGold you would've most likely seen the Pokewalker paired with the games. Did/do you use it? Is it just a novelty and a gimmick to you? Do you carry it everywhere? What do you like about it, or dislike?
I personally thought it was a good idea in theory, but it is just a gimmick - however, I liked being able to keep a Pokemon in my pocket and level it up and so on, while not even thinking about it. It is potentially a great idea to get younger children exercising actively too as it serves as incentive to get moving and walking. I know some people who still stick it in their pocket before work! I've since lost it, with a Pikachu on there somewhere! But that can be retrieved via the game cart itself. Though a fun item; not needed to complete the game, but it does add some further enjoyment and extends the game outside of the normal realm of Pokemon which is traditionally retained on the console.
