Re: Using more than one Pokéwalker
Howdie, have you performed this yourself? Have you re-synced your original Pokéwalker and not have your watt count restored? When I performed this, I found that it restored my walk + watt count however not so sure if it will restore the counts > 7 days. Thanks! --Suffen 09:37, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Suffen,
I bought a copy of both Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and I had previously had one pokéwalker connected to each game. Because I've mainly been playing SS, I would load a pokémon from HG onto the HG pokéwalker and then transfer the watts earned to the SS game cartridge using the receive gift function. I used the SS game cartridge (which had ~ 100k steps and 10k watts) to reset the HG pokéwalker, which also reset the steps and watts to 0. I then connected the HG pokéwalker to the SS game cartridge, but the watts and steps were still at 0. When I connected the SS pokéwalker to my SS cartridge, the steps went back to ~100k but the watts remained at 0. I can still access all the routes I've unlocked, but the 10k watts haven't come back. It's been less than 24 hours since I've done this, so I'll wait a few more days and see what happens. --Rickem 11:15, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey Rickem, I see. Interesting! The way I did it was that I used a brand new OEM Pokéwalker from Nintendo that hasn't been synced, and cleared it off with my SS -- which did delete all of everything but the moment I returned my pokémon from stroll on the original Pokéwalker, things came back to normal which included the Watts from the previous strolls that I had (Had about 15k or so). Maybe the cleared watts was a result of having the pokéwalker previously synced to another game? I have not the ability to re-test this atm. --Suffen 17:10, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
I have retested this with both pokéwalkers synced to SS, but the same thing happened. I had about 1k watts, and they disappeared again. The strange thing was that I had a pokémon in the old SS pokéwalker when I reset the new SS pokéwalker, and when I reset and synced the new one, the pokémon was still in the old pokéwalker AND had also been deposited into my PC. When I returned the pokémon from it's stroll on the old pokéwalker, it was released. I guess there must be something coded into the game to prevent cloning via this method.
As I said before, the step count is restored when I connect the old pokéwalker to the SS cartridge, but not the watt count. --Rickem 03:02, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
PS. I am happy to conduct some experiments with the pokéwalkers to see if I can't figure out what's going wrong. Any suggestions on what I might try doing differently?
Howdie. I tried this again myself and found myself in your situation this time around however still inconclusive as to if its really the case or just happens to get to it. I did notice that even though the count is reset that it will count to the next unlock (that hasnt been unlocked) vs. starting from scratch as these routes have been previously unlocked -- so the count will reset but will not reset the # of watts required to unlock the rest of the routes, with the side-effect of not knowing exactly the # of watts collected in-total apart from # required to unlock the next set. I didn't have my old pokéwalker's pokemon return to the box at all… Could you list the steps you've taken? Here's Mine:
- Reset NEW (additional Pokéwalker)
- Return original pokéwalker pokémon from stroll, set out on a stroll on the new pokéwalker, set the location then return from stroll
- Set out on the original pokéwalker, step count restored and watt count? (50/50)
