Anyway why would you want to get back to 0 faster?

If you're trying to figure out its mechanics (exact required steps and such) it's a lot faster to say set it an hour from midnight then build up watts within that hour. Once an hour has elapsed you can check again I don't do it though because then the Safari Zone counter won't progress

Ah yes that would make sense then.

Too many steps can be a problem apparently.

so, the pokewalkers steps reset after midnight?

I didn't know that.

Midnight, unless you reset your clock.

Now this is something new to hear. So, after Midnight, the pokewalker resets? And certain steps can cause you to miss certain Pokemon and items?

You don't necessarily "miss" them, they just get harder to find. Any Pokemon in group B for most courses are little monsters to find once you have gotten enough steps to unlock group A. You have the best chance of finding an item or Pokemon when you are at just enough steps for it to be found. In most tests I've done, the item most recently unlocked tends to be the one that appears the most when searching. Certainly not always, but very often.
