I’ve been caught up in playing Pokemon: Heart Gold. It’s a remake of one of the games from the series I first picked up (Pokemon Silver) So much is familiar, and yet.. they’ve added so much! The pokewalker is an amazing addition! I’ve caught so many little dudes with it. Magby, for one. Magby’s become a regular part of my core team.
If you don’t know what it is, the pokewalker lets you take one of your pokeymans on a walk. It functions as a pedometer, so when you take a step, it counts a step. Also: your pokeyman gets one experience per step. ALSO, you can run into wild poke’s, and catch ‘em. That’s how I wound up with such an awesome team.
I also wanted to fill out a few dead zones in my team with something I couldn’t quite get yet. So I haxed some in on my other DS, and bred some eggs. That accounts for my Shinx and Spiritomb.
All in all, I’m having a blast. I’ve also noticed something. Until my dudes have a name, they’re just pixels.. or a pokeymans type for combat ability. Magnemite is just a magnemite.. but when I name him OMGPEWPEW, he becomes an adorable little addition to the box.
I think this is the first time I’ve regularly named most of my poke’s, too. Let’s hope it continues.
