Pokémon playing is no longer a pastime where you sit on the sofa with your DS and slowly get fatter…
The launch of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver in Japan back on 12 September has got Japanese Pokémon fans walking like never before! The games come with their own ‘PokéWalker’ device that you attach to your belt and wear all day long – a bit like a pedometer. You can transfer Pokémon to the PokéWalker and then the more you move and walk around, the more trained they become. What we have learned since the games’ release is that the Pokémon you transfer must walk through courses to develop their skills. There are 27 courses with names like Refreshing Field, Noisy Forest, Rugged Path and Pretty Seaside and they are unlocked as you play the game, and through special events.
Well, over in Japan they have a Pokémon gameplay event coming up between 17 October and 27 December called the Battle Challenge. At this event, players of HeartGold or SoulSilver will be able to download a new PokéWalker course to their game – Road of Champs. There is rumour that after this event has closed, other players will be able to download Road of Champs via Wi-Fi, starting in January, but that has not been confirmed yet.
While travelling on these PokéWalker courses, your Pokémon will encounter new monsters, items, potions and berries. It’s how they react to all of these that affects how well trained they become. The Road of Champs has Pokémon on it that know moves that they normally would not know. For example, Bronzor has Trick Room, Magikarp has Bounce, Beldum has Zen Headbutt and Duskull has Imprison. The evolutions of these Pokémon may learn these moves though, creating a whole new world of battle possibilities.
Wow, we can’t wait to get our hands on HeartGold and SoulSilver and start walking – and losing weight! Until then we’re just going to sit on this sofa and wait… One final rumour for today – the internet gossips say that the two games could be released in the UK on 23 April 2010. Apparently, a New Zealand online retailer has posted the games until this date, and they usually get games the same time as us. Exciting stuff!
