The Escapist Presents: Pokewalking with The Escapist Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT | |
What about taking out one of the blades to make it lopsided? Or! Wrapping it in something soft and dangling it over a fan, so the fan hits it over and over! Fun video, though! | |
lol at the attaching it to his dog...lawl | |
Woulden't it be a better idea to tape the pokéwalker to the car tire instead and just drive around for a while? | |
That's how it seems to work to me. I'd like to try taping it to a clock pendulum, which I suspect would work well, but I don't have access to a clock with one these days ;) | |
I choose secret option X: Tape it to the wrist of a teenage boy between the ages of 13-18... I'm very sorry everyone, I'll take my leave now! | |
its a GARADOSE (how you say it lol) | |
Awww your dog is so cute, also I didn't know The Escapist headquarters was that large. Sorry my post is a bit off topic | |
its gar not guy. also cant you just shake it in you hand for 5 or 6 minutes every day, because you need 20000000 steps to unlock every in the pokewalker | |
Maybe John Funk can use a hyperactive kid like how Gabe and Tycho did. | |
Thanks, his name is Jasper, he likes long walks in the grass, getting up way too early, and helping me with work experiments. Also, that building is just a front. Escapist HQ is in a bunker 2 miles underground ;) | |
It's probably only sensitive in one axis. (Up/Down) If it's as cheaply made as I'm thinking, your best bet would be to rig up a rotating cam system. Link It is also likely that it's not very sensitive to motion in the first place (built cheaply). The absolute peak of cheating efficiency would require a 555 timer circuit and a bit of creative engineering. But, you could get all your unlocks in less than a day with such a method. (555 timers max out @ 180Khz, but I'm guessing it would only work up to 60Hz with the Pokewalker.) You'd also void your warranty and possibly bring the wrath of Nintendo. Fair warning. | |
Good to know. If I ever do decide to get HeartGold or SoulSilver I'll just attach the Pokewalker to my windsheild wiper. | |
I am so trying this when I finally get the game (stupid EU release dates). Getting it first thing tomorrow. | |
Bwahaha, that was hilarious. Taping to an office worker on an exercise ball...! | |
If you tap your heel instead of just shaking your leg it works. Even if the pokewalker is in your pocket, it will pick up the movement. It worked for me, anyways. | |
I'd tape and zip tie it to the wheel of my car. | |
I just walk to campus. A half-hour walk, both ways, gets me more watts than I know what to do with. I suspect the Pokewalker was designed for fat kids. | |
I suffer from restless leg syndrome so my only problem will be hiding it from the people I work with. I've also got 7 hours of orchestra on Saturday which will mean my leg will be bouncing up and down to keep time so should be able to get some xp there as well. Great video though. I knew there was a reason I came to the Escapist. | |
Stopped watching as soon as you slaughtered the pronunciation of Gyarados. | |
guy-ra-dos? gy-a-ra-dos? ga-ra-dos? How dare you make me question the pronunciation! | |
Fun fact. I worked at the Pokemon Center in New York City for a summer, and that's where I picked up "Guy-ra-dos." | |
Couldn't you just shake it? That's how most pedometers work. Get tired, sit down, shake hand. | |
It seems that all you need is way too much spare time, then you will eventually figure something out. | |
Is your Pokewalker painted black? | |
Oh come on, surely you can think of better ways: - We're getting into the summer any month now, and summer comes with fans... Stick it to a fan "paddle" and enjoy your million steps WHILE you work. - Instead of tying it to the car's windshield, why not tie it to the wheel "rays"? Going for a drive? Enjoy a huge "step" boost! - ...Got a bike? Same as the car system. - Alternatively, turn the bike upside down, tie the walker thing to the wheel ray-thing, and "manually" pedal. Not as constructive since you're not going anywhere, but on the other hand, there's no resistance, so you should get a lot more steps faster. - Tie it to a small/medium size rope (about the size of your forearm at most) and swing it in circles. - ....Blender? I say this needs an episode 2. | |
After watching this experiment I tried out the headbanging thing while sitting at my desk and it worked pretty well. Granted, it was hard to watch the shaky computer screen and I had typos galore, but I never really got any work done whenever they play Queen on the radio. | |
i cant decide if the pokewalker is a good idea or just lame. awesome video though. | |
We have an office in one of the corners of one of the floors of that building. The whole thing isn't ours ;) Symantec has the entire first floor though. | |
The programme pronounces Gyarados as "Garadose" | |
Holding it in my hand and shaking it up and down seems to work well for me... And keeping it attached to my pocket while I drive. It seems to count every little bump as a step. | |
I can say for a fact that I generate mad Watts by attaching my Pokewalker to the side of my shoe next to the heel while I am sitting in my office at work. If you have restless legs like me, just make sure the back of your heel is lightly tapping the ground-- the device seems to respond to force rather than just movement. | |
I just walk to my train station everyday. It's like 5,000 steps in 20 minutes. | |
Poke-dog... useful and adorable. So you don't want to walk 500 mules and then 500 more just to be the man who walk a thousand miles unlocks all the pokecontent? My solution would be to tie the thing to a vacuum cleaner and see if that works, but I guess the wipers really are effective. | |
Ok.... I'm going to describe this in the coldest most clinical method I can, so as to avoid suspension and ban. Why not try using a Poké-walker during sexual intercourse? Not that I want to see the video of it on this site, mind you. They could call it Poké.... well, Poké-poker, to be perfectly frank. | |

Works all the time for me
But on topic what I do is take it with me whenever I go out and then put it in the passengers seat when I'm driving, so every bump I hit makes it move and I get LOTS of steps
