I still use my pokewalker. Walk my kid to school, track myself steps. Go for a run, track my steps. Sit down, catch a couple pokemon.

About the Focus Band Octillery - it was a big meme in the Japanese Pokemon community around the time. A player used one and it was famous for coming in clutch and surviving big hits from legendaries. There was also a special Focus Band Octillery distributed in Pokemon Ranch, not sure if it released internationally though.

[@hibbs1712]

Back when we really gamed

[@droomish1]

ohhhhh I see, I was simply unfamiliar with octillery's game. yeah I agree, that's REAL gaming, this is an awesome story edit: do you know of any videos or documentation of the story? I was able to find some blog posts about Golgo's Octillery and how the meme came to be but I would love to know more, I'm fascinated

[@ThessaTheCat]

That Focus Band Octillery also almost appeared in Pokemon Rumble! There's unused data related to it in the files. If Rumble didn't have to cut gens 2 & 3 to save space it probably would've had yet another game appearance.

What was that players name? Is there any video or posts of them?

[@mkoopman172]

Ah, man. I brought my PokéWalker to work every day, and grinded to get that flying Pikachu for my in-game team. Loved that guy. When it came time for Gen 5, I traded up all of my Pokémon to the new game, but……you couldn’t transfer a Pokémon if it knew an HM. Fly was the only thing that made my Pikachu unique. Ultimately, I chose to leave him behind, and this poor special Pikachu has been maintaining his solitary vigil in my HG for well over a decade now o7 Miss you, buddy 😢

@@droomish1 What do you guys mean "when the generation passes", "when it came time for the new gen"? Do you just ... stop playing old games when new ones come out? I don't get it, lmao. Who's forcing you? If you miss those old Pokémons then just play those games again, lmao. Who's stopping you? I'm literally playing Pokémon Yellow right now, I don't see the issue.

[@100PercentEarl]

I remember when HGSS came out when I was in high school. my friends and I brought our Poke Walkers to tennis practice and in moments of downtime we’d compare how many watts we collected and what Pokémon or items we got during practice. It was a really fun experience to have at the time

[@droomish1]

yes!!! I think the simplicity of it made it so easy to have fun with your friends over. I would go to an after school program with some other kids with pokewalkers and we'd spend so much time running in place and speculating on what the special pokemon were of each route. I hope your tennis was lovely and the pokemon plentiful!

[@ryanmahon1]

I used to put my pokewalker in my soccer socks so they'd level up when I'd go to practice. First time I ever felt like a genius 😎

[@droomish1]

for the first time, I was willing to go to school because I could min max steps while I was there. so dumb but yeah it was simply so gratifying to succeed on the device

[@chrisp5148]

I have a fond memory of hitting 20,000 steps after a three game soccer tourney as a lad. I was so excited to catch those Goldeen lol!

[@aeoluskingofthewinds276]

Sableye and chatot are likely references to the PMD games that were out at the same time. The explorers series that is 💙

[@droomish1]

I can accept this. the sableye in that game made me SO mad, always being little freaks!

[@Briskeeen]

Wouldn't wigglytuff make more sense then? Maybe even bidoof?

[@onthefloorwiththedogs]

i love how your comments are always filled with happy childhood memories. it’s so lovely to scroll through and see everyone’s favorite pokewalker experience

[@GymLeaderEllie]

on my original heartgold save, i found magby and elekid on my pokewalker, and added them to my team. they became magmar and electabuzz, my aces for the playthrough, arguably my 2 favorite team members ever. a few years later, i was building my first living dex in alpha sapphire. as the commemorative final keystone pieces, i decided to finally evolve my precious friends and transfer them up. i make music, and i'm working on an album that will include a song called "electivire," dedicated to my love for that partner who made me into an electric-type trainer.

[@droomish1]

ellie I love this story so much!!! your album is going to turn out so great

[@lasercraft32]

Crazy to think that there are SO MANY instances of this sort of thing throughout the series... Events or gimmicks that show up in one moment throughout the series history, and then are never mentioned or brought up again. They aren't forgotten though, even if they can never truly be experience the same way.

[@droomish1]

Like a pokewalker in the pocket, we will continue to carry these memories with us! it is bittersweet in a way, but I do love to look back on the series with this lens in mind

[@iterativeimprovements1713]

Not sure if this is mentioned in the video, but the pokewalker is one of the most accurate pedometers on the market (at the time of release)

[@hibbs1712]

@@iterativeimprovements1713 also the digimon digital pet walkers are pretty nifty and accurate too. You'll also have to refinance your house and kids again to buy one but they're there!

Between that and the PS2 being cheaper than most DVD players, I'm curious what other video game things excelled at tasks completely unrelated to video games.

I would change that is into a was then

[@toastZura]

The Octillery with Focus Band is a reference to that old Pokemon Sunday show from around the time HGSS came out. Someone on the show managed to survive a lot of lethal attacks with a Focus Band Octillery, and it sort of became a mascot of the show. There was an event distribution of it in Japan too if I remember!

[@solidice5660]

There was a strict "no electronics policy" when I was in middle school, I remember my friends and I would smuggle our pokéwalkers in every day and then meet during recess so we could show off the mons' we caught and to share gifts. I distinctly remember that my one friend dropped his in gym class, and we had to sneak back in after hours to find it. I still have mine today; so when I see my old pals, we link up pokéwalkers to remember the good times. I love irl video game accessories, I wish things like the pokéwalker still existed. I remember being hyped for Pokémon Go, but it just wasn't the experience I was envisioning as some evolution of the concept.

[@builderforce6096]

I always have said this and will always think this: Heartgold and soulsislver were the most complete pokemon games, by that I mean they had so many tie ins and side things to do it felt like there was always something to do even when like me you have 1000+ hours on a cartridge

[@droomish1]

the "everything else" is so alive in these games!! getting to explore the strange corners of the experience these worlds offer is why I'm with this series. so I would have to say HGSS are some of the greats!

[@hellspawn32x66]

I've been using the Pokewalker every day for the past month and a half or so. Really wonderful device. You can assemble a great team of only Pokewalker Pokemon to use for the story of HGSS.

[@droomish1]

being able to essentially start with dratini and elekid are part of the heartgold soulsilver experience for me, you can really feel the difference in a playthrough with or without it. such a blast!!

[@superblooper123]

I’m really excites to hear you talk about this. I’ve gone on my own journey with the pokewalker in the last year. I did a playthrough where my first and last mons were shiny-hunted (first a random starter and then Skarmory) and the rest were all somewhat unique mons acquired on walks. I’ve since completed the game and gotten all the silver symbols, and I’ve now set out to complete a Pokewalker “living dex” as thoroughly as I can. I tried in the past to get the distribution trick to work and wasn’t able to figure it out, but I’m looking forward to trying again with the resources you provided. Thanks again for covering this! You truly are one of my favorite poketubers.

[@droomish1]

there are a number of hosts for the events, so just keep trying until you get one that lines up. some of them will just NOT work though, and they change relatively(?) frequently. I hope your quest goes as smoothly as possible!! there are so many wonderful personal goals to aspire to in this clump of games. and omg I appreciate it so much

[@Mixxor454]

Takes me back to the Covid lockdown when me and my girlfriend at the time each bought a DS with HG and SS. We spent so much time sitting in the couch taking turns shaking the pokewalker and praying for that flying Pikachu 🎈 Fantastic video! ❤️

[@1BlueYoshi]

Getting that Flying Pikachu has always been my white whale. I was able to get the Surfing one but never the Flying one. Maybe I'll see if I can dig up my Pokewalker and give it another try

[@andrewgomez9893]

I use to take my PokeWalker to school in 4th grade and I’ll never forget the feeling of catching Pokémon while I wasn’t playing at home on my DS it was so cool

[@AnimalXing]

I still walk with my pokewalker and completely forgot about the Jirachi route - top notch stuff! A very high quality vid

[@ivanbluecool]

I can see these places in Johto be used as mini extra areas for a Johto region game in the future. It would be cool to see the pokewalker locations in the main game.

[@droomish1]

yes! it could be very FUN and unintrusive to even just reference the locations through new encounter tables.. I am very drawn to these simple mechanics that can still be heavy lorewise

[@ivanbluecool]

@@droomish1 it'd be cool as a way to introduce more mons naturally into the world compared to the safari zone Also maybe some new evolutions I'd definitely play that game

pokewalker content!!! I love mine, I always take it on walks now that I changed the battery 🎉

[@temsikpark]

gosh, I'm so glad you decided to hone in on the power of time-exclusivity/inaccessibility of certain Pokemon near the end there because it really is something that I've thinking about and even appreciate lately in regards to old Pokemon games. Like it is very easy to just pass these events off as a cheap way to provide barriers for accessing certain pokemon (I certainly did) but stuff like Jirachi and surf/fly Pikachu just wouldn't feel nearly as special or elusive without that layer of simultaneous absence/presence in-game. Like imagine if they handed around Jirachis like they do with box legendary pokemon. It's a (myth)ical pokemon, it should be a question as to whether or not it exists at all in the game! Stuff like this creates timeless stories and rumors that I will cherish forever that I wish I didn't use to take for granted. Yet again another Droomish banger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@droomish1]

yes!!! For me, one of the best things about Pokemon, is how much a "game" exists outside of the games themselves. The memories we have as players, the experiences and times we get with other people talking and play together, and all this context that exists completely within the community. and I think you hit the nail on the head for why this intersection of things is so special in terms of story and experience. these games, and so many other like it, WILL remain magical if you hold onto it like that

[@Elfking94]

I remember getting the winner's path route when I was younger and loved playing through with a beldum and bouncing magikarp and it just felt so special at the time. As someone who basically learned to read alongside learning to play the og gen 2 the remakes felt like such an incredible love letter to the originals from gamefreak.

[@ScarletRebel96]

So many people lost the pokewalker we probably got thousands of pokemon trapped in essentially a purgatory hellscape

[@Dilaughosaurus]

There was this big kid in my Junior High who was playing with his Pokewalker in class, so the teacher took it from him. He then picked up his desk and chased her down the hall and threw it at her

[@OliverMKP]

It's so good to see some content around the Pokewalkers. Such genius devices honestly. I still use them (almost) daily and I am SO happy that my sisters walkers was still somehow on the event Yellow Forest route. She gave me her Pokewalker and her SoulSilver already years ago as a gift when she stopped playing Pokemon. The save file to that walker doesn't even exist anymore so the Magby on there is kinda trapped, however I will definitely let it run on the Yellow Forest route as you can luckily also send the Pokemon (including Flying Pikachu) to any other HGSS save file! Because if you press on "receive Gift" in the Pokewalker menu, you can connect it to any Pokewalker! Even walkers, that are not tied to your save file. Comes in handy if you shiny hunt with multiple walkers on one HG/SS game!

[@ZakWithTwoZs]

I am proud to say I still use my PokeWalker daily, and even got some of the event routes when they came out back in the day. My proudest catches have been self destruct Munchlax from Winner's Path, and a surfing Pikachu from Yellow Forest.

[@Seraph.G]

When the game first came out I took my pokewalker everywhere. I was in high school and just old enough to be allowed to run around the neighborhood with my pokemon and my dog. I bought my first house recently about a year ago and I found my pokewalker with a bunch of my old games. I changed the battery and it came right back on, and I've been taking my pokemon to work with me ever since.

[@SVO-88]

Little advice: when you use blur effects for backgrounds, it would be better if the foreground content were on screen before the blur transition. Having a blurry screen for a second before every transition can be unpleasant on the eyes since there's no focus point on screen for that time.

[@droomish1]

The Pokewalker walked so that Pokemon Go could make us stand still for several minutes sitting through unskippable long animations and menus man, I really miss this old school charm Pokemon had. I was addicted to my Pokewalker as a kid, I vividly remember getting in trouble at school with my friends to the point even us clipping it on our bags or jeans wasn't acceptable, the teachers did not want them in sight lol

[@RogueViirus12]

I used to love playing SS and my pokewalker back when the game came out. I was so excited for the Gen 2 remakes I pre-ordered from Toys R Us and got the special Lugia figurine. Some kid in HS stole my copy (also my copy of Diamond). I had a 4k hour save (I did a lot of trade chains on the GTS for rare mons) and all of the US special routes. I replaced my copy eventually but man, I'm still bummed about it because at the time I brought up some mons that I was running since Ruby. I've since duped them in but it's not the same. All this to say: I need to dig out my pokewalker again.

I had HeartGold in college, and wore my PokeWalker to my part-time job at a children's science museum. Racked up a lot of steps that way.

[@hawktalon7890]

My friends and I used to sneak our Pokewalkers to school and got around the "no video games" rule by saying it was just a pedometer/step counter, which it technically was. I have no idea where mine is now, I found it behind the couch while cleaning the house one day with my Azelf still in it but then we moved like 4 different times.

[@99sonder]

Only thing I can think of with Sableye and Chatot being featured in the Rally route is that they also include them as references to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky. Although it would only be a very loose reference. Chatot is a very prominent character, but Sableye is mostly just treated as the generic henchmen of the villains. If they wanted to make the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon reference obvious, they'd pick from Grovyle, Dusknoir or Wigglytuff, but I guess they might want to keep it to Pokemon that can mostly just be found in the wild, so I guess with that Chatot is certainly a great candidate for representation and Sableye is OK.

[@lucadomenichini4926]

Last year I found out about the dns trick and then I downloaded every mystery gift, included the pokewalker routes. Now, after 13 months, I can finally say that I caught every pokemon in the pokewalker! It was really a pain to get the pikachu with fly and the one with surf

I had to wait to get my copy of SS for my birthday, which sadly meant I missed out on some of the early event distributions for that generation. However, even more sad was finding out I could've got the Yellow Forest one but I simply didn't know that was a thing until they announced Winners Path and it had already expired. Because of this, I almost exclusively walked on Winner's Path as it is my only of the "special" locations(although I do have the honorable mentions from the beginning of the video).

I didn't get to use the pokewalker much because I lost it, got another copy of the game and pokewalker, and then lost it again. I think someone stole it because there's no way we wouldn't have found it in the house at some point. This is really neat! I wish I got to use it more because I am a sucker for retro lcd toys. (Like the Digimon D-tector, Tamagotchi, and using GC-GBA link to play Tiny Chao Garden for example.)

honestly my best guess for chatot and sableye's edition could possibly be a nod to PMD at the time. since jigglypuff is available on other routes, and i assume something like duskull is on another too, it makes sense to make a subtle nod since most of the pmd protags are exclusive pokemon. no idea for sure though!

[@Dw7freak]

You technically don't even need a Pokewalker to get a Surfing Pikachu in Gen 4. If you've completed all the base colosseums in Battle Revolution, you can use the points earned in the game to send a special gift Pikachu to any of the Gen 4 games that knows Volt Tackle, Surf, Tail Whip, and Thunder Wave at level 10 and holding a Light Ball. You can do this at the very beginning of the game, only requiring the Pokedex to obtain, so you can have a traded Pikachu with some good moves on your playthrough. The only problems are that it is considered a traded mon, so if it gains any levels before you beat Bugsy, it'll start disobeying, it'll always have a Hardy (neutral) nature, and that Volt Tackle, while powerful, is a high recoil move on a fragile Pokemon. I'd recommend getting it Thunderbolt asap and evolving it, which you can do around the 3rd gym thanks to the Pokeathlon and Voltorb Flip.
