I really don't think I'm going to cheat at it... Just seems pointless, your Pokémon would get more XP from walking through tall grass and fighting other wild Pokémon.

Step 6: The adult method...
when you're having some male "alone time" tape it to your "busy" hand and make use of that extra energy...
Or just shake the pokewalker when you're bored.
In all honesty the restless leg method would be best in the long run since you're most likely to spend the most time doing them. Also if you tapes it to the back of the foot rather than on the instep, you'd get much better results.

I'm surprised at this, as well. That was pretty much the only way I could do Mystery Gift outside of Stadium 2.PunchClockVillain said:
OT: Well, now I know that pedometers...still haven't changed. Regardless, the whole thing is a pretty good idea on how you can raise your Pokemon. If only that was around with the first time they did this back with the first generations.
[sub]So many wasted steps in my past...[/sub]
Considering that the Wiper method is the most effective, all-be-it the most silly, I have found that simply creating a pendulum-like oscillation is the most effective, short of walking. If you are stuck sitting in once place for an extended period of time and can't just walk, place it in your hand or wrist and swing it. While it looks a bit silly to be swinging your arms back and fourth like a toddler, it will yield a high amount of steps, even higher than walking!
Need that arm to work/write/type/other? Fine, if your leg is high enough off the ground while sitting, attach it to your ankle or foot and swing it back and forth. Again, you will look like a silly little school girl, but if your playing Pokemon in the office or some other public place, what have you got to lose?

I'm kinda surprised to see The Escapist has some office space. I figured you were all telecommuting.
I work at an amusement park. Not the fun part though, I get to clean it. When we are scrubbing floors with an orbital buffer, you know those things right? I've had the pokewalker in my pocket while doing it and gotten more steps than I thought i would. I don't have a 5 minute example but it's pretty effective.
Tried it; didn't work as well as I'd hoped, didn't register all that many 'steps'.jasoncyrus said:

You know, this brings back memories of playing pokemon when it first came out, on the ancient Gameboy system. Perhaps i'll get one for the DS...the peripheral sounds awesome as well. What a perfect way to level up your character without having to spend hours grinding monsters?!
Also, that music rocks! Maybe the Escapist can release an album? An OST perhaps?

Oh boy does that sound dodgy...... and, on second thoughts, probably quite effective.MurderousToaster said:
Actually, scratch that, I'd be a bit freaked out if I got sexually frustrated and the first thing I thought of was my Pokewalker.
How did you get a black one? or is that a case? And where might i find one? A lanyard thing would really come in handy.John Funk said:I know. I still have a Gyarados nowsonic232 said:
Also, SHAKING IT DOES WORK! But, vigorous fast motion shaking will not. Use slow shaking. Kinda like using gravity as a weight using very little strength, then fighting gravity during the whole falling motion of your arm.
I have gotten 430 steps this way in a 5:40 minute flight in world of warcraft...and when im not doing that, i play my DS while tanking ICC.
Yeah where do you even get "Gar" from? The original anime? Two words.John Funk said:
English. Localization.
I mean I can understand calling it "Gar" when you were a little kid but if you look at it now it's clearly pronounced "GUY-ra-dos".
Fun Fact: This article from Wikipedia shows some Christians really need to put down the bible for a few minutes. (Even though I LOATHE using Wikipedia for gather information)
Pokémon has been criticized by some Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Christian concerns over Pokémon have primarily addressed perceived occult and violent themes as well as the concept of "Pokémon evolution" (which some relate to the theory of evolution), which is said to go against the Biblical creation account in Genesis

Makes your head hurt, huh?
I was thinking the exact same thing. This kind of content is the stuff of miracles. I'd love to see more of it, in my opinion, it reaches out to the community more. It certainly made me laugh. It's also nice to see the face behind the voice, instead of hearing you on the video supplements, which are still great.wilsonscrazybed said:

Good times. That was my first pokemon card.John Funk said:I know. I still have a Gyarados nowsonic232 said:
Doesn't this remind you of the old 8-bit digimon-walker things? you shake them and you get random battles.
