Single post in Changing the evolution requirement for Pawmot

I just attempted to evolve my Pawmo and had one heck of a time trying to use the Pokewalker. ;w; The setup was incredibly easy and intuitive, so I will give it that much. But that's about where the good vibes stopped rolling. It kept saying the GPS was disconnecting, despite my phone still actively using my location. I just didn't get any steps towards evolution and gave up. (I'll admit my phone is quite a few years old and getting tempermental, but it doesn't have issues with GPS except when I'm using the Pokewalker) On top of the accessibility issues outlined for those who don't own phones and/or can't walk ~1 km for an evolution, there are those of us who CAN do those things and then we don't gain any progress because the Pokewalker breaks on us and doesn't actually count our distance taken. I like the idea of it having an evolution that is interaction based or something equivalent, especially because of the frustrating experience I had doing the task to try to evolve it and it just...not being counted for me.
