    Please use the search next time as there are like 20 topics about this little subject. ::)

    You can't use it with the rom.

    The game has a special infrared chip in it to connect with the Pokewalker.

    You will need the real game, yes.

    If i had one in hands i'd try it, i've seen in multiple sites and forums people saying they got it working with the japanese rom, don't know if it is b s or if only the US pokewalker uses infrared.

    Most likely BS.

    I don't see why they would change the entire inner workings of the game just for the US/EU market. =\

    and if you wanna know why, theres an infrared in the pokemon cart that only the pokewalker can use.
    so it doesnt use the wireless function of the DS
