(Don’t) Shake that Pokéwalker!

Hey, I was skimming through youtube, and found a bunch of videos on how to cheat with the new device that comes with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: The Pokéwalker.

Really? I mean, really?

It’s not that hard to use it properly, kids. You transfer your Pokémon to it. You clip it to your pants, you walk around at school with it on, you take it home, you transfer your Pokémon back to the DS. It’s a done deal. It’s not like you’re trying to beat Final Fantasy VII in two hours. Get off your lazy bums and DO SOME WALKING!!! That’s why they called it the PokéWALKER after all. I can understand one or two people being excited by the ability to cheat with this thing, but come on. It’s a simple concept, and it’s not that hard to do. It’s walking. Guess what, unless you’re in a wheelchair (one of the situations I would make an exception for), walking is something you do a lot of anyway. Just today, I took over 6000 steps, and this wasn’t a big day for me. It really isn’t that hard to take it with you, is it?
