Would you believe the Pokewalker has motivated by 19 y.o. dd to actually

exercise and walk much more often? Before it she was not inclined to do much

walking at all. Surprisingly, this has continued for over a year.

that came with a pedometer that lets you earn Pokemon by walking. It has been

great for us. He used to hate to go for walks with the family and now not only

does he go with us whenever the dog slows down he starts jogging in place to

earn more points. He also wants to go far enough to earn a Pokemon so there is

no whining to go home after a block or two.

it comes with packaged with some versions of Soul Silver and Heart Gold Pokemon

games (I think that is what he told me). It communicates with the DS to tell the

game what you have earned.
