Here are some new images of Nintendo's Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver for Nintendo DS, the game will be bundled with a pedometer called Poke Walker. You can send one of your Pokemon to the pedometer and walk around with it, and the Pokemon will earn experience points and "watts", which can be redeemed as money. The Pedometer can be sync-up with the DS using infrared signals.

Whoa, very unexpected. Its like a little digital pedometer, that tracks a selected Pokemon *outside* of the DS?

Cool idea... :)
