For over seven years, Japanese Twitter user Suica has been carrying around the Pokéwalker pedometer that was bundled with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. And now, Suica has discovered its secret felicitations.
Evaluated against two other dedicated pedometers, the Pokéwalker - an add-on device for the HeartGold and SoulSilver Pokémon titles - is the most accurate device for counting steps, according to researchers at Iowa State University.
Gamernode's Jason Fanelli took his Pokemon Pokewalker pedometer to PAX East, where, I can assure you, LOTS of people had the things strapped to their belts. He made some friends.
Already released in Japan to monster sales, the 3 million selling Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver has not just had its date confirmed for the U.S. market. It's also getting a Pokewalker.
