[quote name='detectiveconan16']Got my copy from my favorite video game store, obviously a mom and pop, yesterday. I chose a Chikorita because I spent the least amount of time with it.
I'd have to say after reading the instruction manual for the Pokewalker, I'm very impressed with this game already. The cart has an infrared sensor that hooks up with the pedometer, rather than using the wifi signal of the DS. I haven't turned it on yet, considering I really walk alot on an average day, and I'm afraid of over-training my pokemon.
I loves me some auto running, it's very helpful especially if one's playing with a stylus, and especially the DSi, considering the clicky sound of the buttons.[/QUOTE]
You cannot over train your pokemon by walking. Pretty much you can only gain one level per walk. Each step is 1 experience point. If you reach the experience points needed to level up then he reaches the max. You can continue to walk but it will not go towards experience points. So no worries about that, if you want to let it get its level then transfer it back to your game, he will level up and you can send him back to earn more experience points.
