I’ve been on the lookout for gamified pedometers. Something like a Tamagotchi that grows up as you get steps in. Saw some old examples of this in Japan, but nothing in the US market yet. Any recommendations that aren’t an app and don’t need the internet?
It’s very specific but I absolutely adored the pokewalker that pairs with heart gold or soul silver
You’d need a ds, dsi or a 3ds, a pokewalker (they’re a bit expensive to get used now), and either a copy of heart gold or soul silver, or a jailbroken 3ds (it could maybe also work with a dsi, not sure) and any game that also supports infared communication
With a jailbroken 3Ds you can use a different (cheaper) game with infared ability in pass through- I’ve never done this before but want to with my old pokewalker now that I’ve lost my copy of soul silver
This is an incredibly niche way of filling your need, but I wanted to mention it since it’s a great potential option (or an enormous headache for an ip you’re not invested in lol)
I hope you find something that works wonderfully for you! I’ll have to keep an eye on this thread. Now that I’m thinking about it I’d really love something like this too, and the bezos site doesn’t seem to have anything 🥲
