Can you use it without the actual game?
202125
it needs to be active with a game for before use but its more fun with the game
202126
Kinda. It is a legitimate pedometer. But you need a friend with the game, at least to activate it. What you should have them do is send a Pokemon, from their game, to your Pokewalker. Then they can take it back. After that, you will have the step counter visible. :) You only need a friend with HeartGold or SoulSilver, to activate it.

No, you need a Nintendo DS, DS lite, DSi or 3DS along with a Pokemon Soul Silver or Heart Gold game. You can contact/request that the seller put a Pokemon in the Pokewalker before buying it and then it can work as a standalone pedometer.

One of the earlier answers to this question said that you didn't need to buy your own copy of Soulsilver or Heartgold, because if your friend had the game, they could activate your Pokewalker for you. Just be aware that in order for the friend to do this, they have to reset their Pokewalker functionality in their DS game, and that process will erase the memory of their current Pokewalker and its contents. If that is acceptable to all parties, then the instructions to perform this feat can be found at the Nintendo Support webpage that you will find by searching for 'Error Message: Pokéwalker Not yet Registered' and following the [How to] link.

As far as I understand you need to register it with a game but after that first contact I suppose you can forgo the game, but then why have the pokewalker? It's whole purpose is to interact with the game and get you Pokemon and items, some of them only found in the pokewalker.

No. You must have either Heart Gold or Soul Silver Pokémon games to use it.

Not at all. The only thing would be is if you buy the game used & it is in bad condition.

If you mean, can you play against the computer? Yes. I don't think you need an Internet connection at all, except to download the game.
1018721
Yes, I play it without being connected to the Internet. It is loaded onto my desktop computer.

No, you can play it without installing it. You can also install it at any point in the game. Its just extra missions and gun parts and such. It doesn't change anything too major

Yes, you do need to have the disk inserted to play. That's really the only bad part about the game, in my opinion.
2237108
The answer is yes and no. You can you use that disc to download the new version of the game, but the classic version no longer exists.I made a mistake before and said you cannot use the code that comes with it to play, but you can. You also get the free thirty day trial.

It doesn't require it. But if you decide to play Zelda: Majoras Mask then you will need it.

It's possible, but very unlikely. I believe you would have to finagle the game rules to play without one.

I presume you mean play it without internet connectivity. The answer is yes, but obviously online features are not available

You can just use an expansion pack but it is way too small to play a real game. Maybe only a few rounds. It is not recommended to play without the original set.

You don't need the disk.. and its u play instead of steam! You install it with the disk and after you should not need the disk.

Yes you can. I did that and it worked but the game performance was too slow to suit my son. So we uninstalled it and installed it again using Boot Camp. This way it works much faster.

You would have to get an external disk drive or put the game on a flash drive. Both are cheap.

I dont believe you can. Only thing with my game, i'm having trouble with, is that the wires have a short somewhere and is very touchy. Kinda sucks cause i just bought this recently. Maybe thats why they sold it. Hmmm

Hello. Yes you can play the disk game without Gold. You only need Gold to play multiplayer, or the extra content downloads.

No....Once the game is installed on you're computer you can remove the disc and the game will still play.
