It’s not enough that Pokémon Gold/Silver are getting DS remakes this fall. Oh no, they’re getting remakes and a pedometer. (Think a new Pokémon Pikachu.)
Dubbed the Poké Walker, the bundled item sends infrared signals to the DS and can be used to hold one Pocket Monsters as you walk around, building experience and gain “watts” which are type of currency.

No…
As long as the pedometer is cool, makes no noise, I wouldn’t mind just chucking it in my pocket when I walk to uni.
