It's not enough that Pokémon Gold/Silver are getting DS remakes this fall. Oh no, they're getting remakes and a pedometer. (Think a new Pokémon Pikachu.)

Dubbed the Poké Walker, the bundled item sends infrared signals to the DS and can be used to hold one Pocket Monsters as you walk around, building experience and gain "watts" which are type of currency.

That's awesome. Now, you can get your kids to walk/run around with this little help. (Untli they just tie it to their hamster and force it to do the wheelie)

Why does pedometer sound so wrong when its with Pokemon...

This is fucking awesome. It helps you get experience. I'll so be tossing this in my bag while I walk around campus. next semester.

You were a troll yesterday and you're still a troll today. Here's a warning.

am i the only person who doesnt own a DS hyped about this game?! O_o

If the idea of walking your pokemon doesn't excite you, then you don't know your Pokemon. IMO.

Lmao. I quite literally just woke up and probably thought the same thing you did. A pedophile meter coming with pokemon!? lol.

This reminds me of certain Digimon toys where the Digimon evolves after you have moved a certain number of paces.

Are these games coming out in the US this year?

I don't see the point in making the pedometer. Looks useless to me.

^Early next year for US.
I will have this, sounds like easy experience.
