How to Change Your Name on the Pokewalker

The Pokewalker is an excellent way to bring your favorite Pokemon along with you on your daily errands. If you are unhappy with the name you have entered into your Pokewalker, you will have to reset the device and sync it to your "Pokemon Heartgold" or "Pokemon Soulsilver" Nintendo DS game. Once you have the new settings saved to the Pokewalker, you will have a newfound joy in taking a jog with a Ledyba or Spinarak.

Instructions

- 1
  Turn on your Nintendo DS with either "Pokemon Heartgold" or "Pokemon Soulsilver" in the game slot and the Pokewalker accessory.

  Choose the option to connect to the Pokewalker from the options listed on the main menu. Keep both devices within two feet of each other to connect wirelessly.
- 3
  Press and hold the X, L and down buttons when the "Save, then go for a stroll" text appears.
- 4
  Confirm the option to reset the Pokewalker by selecting "Yes" when the game inquires. Navigate to the "Erase Pokewalker Records" potion and select "Connect" to completely wipe all records of the Pokewalker device.
- 5
  Reset the Nintendo DS and Pokewalker and use the "Connect to Pokewalker" item to start the Pokewalker from the new game profile. The Nintendo DS will automatically import the new name linked to the saved progress of "Pokemon Heartgold" or "Pokemon Soulsilver" to the Pokewalker.
