It's no secret that the Japanese are serious about their walking, and it's also no secret that Japanese gamers get all the cool stuff. But now Japanese gamers will get a cool walking gadget if they purchase the new Nintendo DS remakes of Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Bulbanews.com reports that the Japanese game show, Pokemon Sunday, that the Pokemon remakes will come with a pedometer-like device in the shape and colors of a pokeball:
The PokéWalker has both the shape and colors of a regular Monster Ball. It has at least three buttons and a monochrome interface
. It will allow players of HeartGold and SoulSilver to deposit one Pokémon there. The Pokémon gains experience points and happiness as players walk, somewhat similar to the toys based on the Digivice of the Digimon series. Mini games are also included. This pedometer is the remake of Pokémon Pikachu 2, a toy that can be used to obtain Mystery Gifts in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Similar to that toy, the PokéWalker will use the currency Watt (W) for purchasing items, some of which can be sent to HeartGold or SoulSilver. It is currently unknown if this will be available outside of Japan.

Just like all other Japanese extras, lets hope they release this outside of Japan. It looks like Nintendo's plan is to have gamers carry their Pokewalker on one side of their belt, and clip the pedometer included with Personal Trainer: Walking to the other side. Count me in.
