About the Pokéwalker
The Pokéwalker accessory is a small device that lets players
take their favorite Pokémon with them wherever they go. Players
can transfer a Pokémon to the Pokéwalker and then simply walk
around in real life. By walking, players earn Watts that can be
used to encounter and catch wild Pokémon, or search for hidden
items. The Pokémon in the Pokéwalker will gain Experience Points
as the player walks, and can even go up one level when they are
transferred back into the game.
