>>53538060Won't comment on Pokemon choice for the routes because I haven't played anything past XY so I'll add onto features I loved from my Pokewalker.
>Go on a walk with no Pokemon from you party or box, and you have a chance of a routes Pokemon to randomly join you every thousand or so steps. Got a Furret this way once and I loved that sucker just for the way he wormed his way into my party.>Wonder trading with friends using the IR port gives mystery gifts with a cap of three per day from different Pokewalkers. Gifts depend on route but all are useful and nature themed, most common being Oran/Sitrus/Lum berries alongside the SE damage reducing berries. Evo stones from cave routes, type boosting items in respective environments. Soft Sand from beaches, Mystic Water from lakes, etc.>Caught Pokemon have egg moves or hidden abilities to incentivize using the Pokewalker over normal obtainment methods, like how sneaking worked in ORAS.>Friendship is guaranteed to go up every 255 steps rather than the 50/50 chance from in game.>Pokemon can now level up more than once in the Pokewalker with 1 EXP per step taken, moves are either not learned or backlogged to be asked if they should be learned when returned to main game.
