Pedometer

The Pedometer is a new feature on the 3DS. When you carry it while walking or running, it counts your steps

and for every 100 steps you take, you will recieve a Play Coin and the data will be stored in your Activity Log. You can only earn up to 10 Play Coins a day and you can have up to 300 Play Coins in total. Therefore, at a rate of 1,000 steps per day, it would take 30 days (approximately one month) to reach the maximum amount of Play Coins.

Nintendogs + CatsEdit

Nintendogs + Cats makes great use of this feature. When going on a pedometer walk, you must close your 3DS and walk (your dog will practically walk with you, virtually). If you don't want to walk or conditions aren't good for actual walking, you can shake your 3DS instead and its pedometer will count the shakes as steps. The more steps you take, the better the present you receive and the happier your dog will be. It gives you more Owner Points than going on a normal walk, and it will make your dog healthier.

To receive your present, all you have to do is open your 3DS, and your dog will bring the present to you. You can then close your 3DS again and walk some more. However, once you close your 3DS again, the quality of the present will depend on the additional steps that you take, not the total that you have taken.

Also, say you take 90 steps, then 99. You will get 9 biscuits for both amounts, therefore they are both in the nineties (90's).

Note: You will still receive Play Coins, even if the pedometer is only used in Nintendogs + Cats.
