How to Reset Poke Walker

The PokeWalker is a gaming accessory developed for the "Pokemon HeartGold" and "Pokemon SoulSilver" games. It functions as a pedometer which calculates the real life steps you take, and converts that into experience points for the Pokemon you have stored into the device. Sometimes an error may occur that will cause the synchronized data between the PokeWalker and your "Pokemon" game to be corrupted. In this case, it is necessary to reset your PokeWalker to its original settings in order to continue using the device.
