I had this and did the exact same thing! I dropped it in the shallows of a lake at one point and it died, taking my amazing high watt scores with it, and I tearfully dried it out and got it working again and kept playing it for like a whole nother year

I made a thread about different ways people cheated their poke walker back on SB1 cuz there were SO MANY VIDEOS by kids strapping it to different massagers/ceiling fans / their dogs etc. and then everyone in the thread admitted to cheating too

there should be a game about cheating pedometer steps

Remember Boktai, Kojima’s GBA game with a sunlight (UV) sensor on the back of the cart? The way to cheat that one was a blacklight

EDIT: also novelty plasma balls for some reason?

I also cheated this way, but it burns out the sensor unfortunately.

Playing this game is simple: just place your smartphone by your pillow, then go to sleep. Just like that, waking up in the morning becomes something to look forward to!

Your adventure takes place on a small island where you’ll carry out research on how Pokémon sleep. You’ll work with large Snorlax who live on the island and Neroli, a professor who’s studying Pokémon sleep styles.

Place your smartphone by your pillow when you go to bed to record and measure your sleep. The longer you sleep, the higher your score in the morning, and the more Pokémon you’ll see appear around Snorlax. Your nights of sleep will be classified as one of three sleep styles—dozing, snoozing, or slumbering—and in the morning, Pokémon that sleep in similar ways will come gather around Snorlax.

You may even discover a Pokémon sleeping in a rare style you’d hardly ever get to see normally. Each Pokémon has a number of different sleep styles, so see how many you can discover to complete your sleep style dex.
Researching Pokémon sleep styles is even easier when you use Pokémon GO Plus +, which allows you to keep track of your sleep with the press of a button. Pokémon GO Plus + uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to link with Pokémon Sleep. When it’s time for bed, just hold the device’s central button, place it by your pillow, and then go to sleep. Not only will Pokémon GO Plus + help measure your sleep data, but Pikachu’s familiar voice can give you cute prompts when it’s time to wake up or go to sleep.
