More Pokewalker
Finding Pokemon using the Radar is actually a bit cooler. Some of the high-number-of-steps-required Pokemon might not show up - if you don't mind dumping your Watts into your HG/SS game, you can jump out and jump back into your stroll - it'll reset the Pokemon that you can find.
Not only that, you can also switch routes - enabling your high step count to transfer, as long as it is the same day.
In either case, you'll still need to regain the 10 Watts needed to use the Pokeradar.
I've been pretty religiously keeping a Pokemon in the Pokewalker - you'll need a lot of Watts to unlock the courses.

Pokewalker
I've done a little research on what the Pokewalker can do, expanding the HeartGold/SoulSilver games.
Basically, you can transfer a Pokemon over from the main screen of your HG/SS game, and then pull it back over later, bringing back with it whatever you found in the Pokewalker (Pokemon, items, and possibly Watts?).
Feature 1: Gain experience and happiness
It's maxed out at one level for the Pokemon in there. 1 step = 1 experience. Not that great for low-level Pokemon, but tolerable (free xp!) for higher level Pokemon. The Pokemon will also gain happiness, which can help some evolutions (and find more Watts).
Feature 2: Gain items and Watts
Each course has its own items that can be found as you walk. There's a chance as you walk around that your Pokemon will pick up an item, sometimes Watts. The happier your Pokemon is, the more Watts it will find. (Steps also figure into Watts.)
Feature 3: Find wild Pokemon with the Pokerader (costs Watts, may need some steps)
This is a simplified battle system of Attack/Dodge/Catch, similar to Safari Zone found in previous games. There's only 6 different Pokemon per course, but you can only find 3 different ones each time you load a Pokemon into your Pokewalker. It'll take you a certain amount of steps to have some Pokemon show up - reduced if you have a preferred Pokemon in your Pokewalker - every route has 3 Pokemon-types that just work better than others. Also, if the Pokemon you bring into the Pokewalker matches any of those types, it gives you a greater chance to find rarer Pokemon.
Feature 4: Item Dowser (costs Watts)
You can spend Watts on item-finding - check the moving grass, get some items. Pretty light activity. (You're also limited to how many items you can carry.)
Feature 5: Connect Pokewalkers
You can have your Pokewalker connect to a friend's Pokewalker, allowing you to trade items. When you connect, you'll also send a copy of your team in your HG/SS game, so your friend can battle against your current team (and vice versa). You'll only be able to connect with each Pokewalker once in a day.
Watts do reset when you transfer out, but I don't know the specifics...they might even reset daily. Certain courses will become unlocked as you gain more Watts, which suggests that you can transfer Watts into your HG/SS game. I thought I read that you can connect Pokewalkers to trade courses with friends, but couldn't find any of that information.

HeartGold / SoulSilver anticipation
It's 2-1/2 weeks away, and I've been considering the release...
Good:
I've heard the graphics look amazing.
16 badges.
The trainer "Red" has level 80+ Pokemon - that is pretty high end...I'm guessing there's enough experience points in the storyline to merit that kind of battle.
Lucky Eggs can be found starting with level 41 Pokemon with Pickup.
Auto-leveling Pokemon for one-on-one battles, through the regular wireless. This is a boon if you want to play a random pick-up game.
Unknown:
Pokéwalker - is it distracting, or a welcome addition?
I pre-ordered SS, so I could get the Lugia figure. I never got into Ho-Oh - even in the TFG, Lugia was so good-looking. And I wanted a Vulpix/Ninetales, which is exclusive to SS.
Starter Pokemon - Feraligatr (Totodile). He was cool in the TFG, and his move-set gives the most variety in types, followed by Typhlosion. Meganium, well, tough love.
What are you looking forward to?

Jirachi download
Officially announced today - Jirachi download for Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, at GameStop locations around the US from Saturday February 27th - March 13th.
Jirachi was previously only released in the US as a special promo Pokemon, included on a bonus disc for Pokemon Colosseum.
This new promotional download will feature a level 5 Jirachi, allegedly holding a Leichi Berry. (I was hoping to finally see berry 63 released - that one was only released through a special download in Japan.)

Shiny Pichu download
Between January 30th and February 14th, you can download a shiny Pichu into your Diamond/Pearl/Platinum game. This will take place in GameStop stores around the US...
Later, if you transfer it into your HeartGold or SoulSilver, it lets you meet the spiky-eared Pichu.

Battling and catch up
My Rainy Day team has gotten beaten up a lot in the wi-fi random battles in Pokemon Battle Revolution. So many people battling with uber-Pokemon (Darkrai, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, even an Arceus). I'm building some Pokemon that I can pack as my 2 extra Pokemon, to function as my thugs in case of ubers.
Once I test them, I'll post my answering Pokemon, along with how the worked out in the field. One of them is Porygon-Z. The IVs on it were crazy good. I wanted a Togetic with a move from the Emerald move tutor, but all of my Togetic Pokemon are no longer in the gameboy advance games...and you can't find them in the wild. Tough love!
Upcoming download! I don't think it's official from the Pokemon site yet, but people have been saying that the Arceus download event for D/P/Pt will be at Toys R Us from November 7th - November 15th.
