1. Introduktion
The Pokewalker is a pedometer accessory designed for use with the Nintendo DS games Pokémon HeartGold Version og Pokémon SoulSilver Version. It allows players to transfer one of their Pokémon from the game to the Pokewalker and take it with them in the real world. As you walk, the Pokewalker counts your steps, which are then converted into "Watts" and experience points for the transferred Pokémon. Watts can be used to play mini-games on the Pokewalker to find items and catch wild Pokémon.

3. Operating the Pokewalker
3.1 Walking and Earning Watts
Once a Pokémon is transferred, carry the Pokewalker with you. It will automatically count your steps. Each step contributes to Watts, which are a special currency used on the device. The more steps you take, the more Watts you accumulate.
- Vise: The Pokewalker's screen shows the current time, steps taken, Watts accumulated, and the Pokémon you are walking with.
- Transporterer: Attach the Pokewalker to your clothing using the included clip, or place it in a pocket where it can accurately detect movement.

Navigate through the Pokewalker's menu using the buttons to access these features. The specific cost in Watts for each game varies.
