Summary: Not such a good resource
Review: I am an adult who is a big pokemon fan. I have played all versions of the game and used a variety of strategy guides, as it is impossible to catch them all without one. This book has an okay walkthrough section. However, I gave this book one star because it has no Pokedex! The walkthrough sections are not interesting to me as I have more fun playing through on my own, but a Pokedex is ESSENTIAL!!! There is no way to know how to raise pokemon without it. If you are looking for a strategy guide definitely go for a different one. This one doesn't come close to being a good one.

Summary: It's a pretty picture book...
Review: I bought this guide and found that everything in it is exactly what I could have figured out on my own. No PokeDex and nothing about breeding pokemon except one lousy sentence. This guide is horrible! Buy a Prima or Nintendo guide instead if you want helpful information. This book is a dud...

Summary: Buy Something Else
Review: I bought this guide before any reviews were up. I should have waited. This guide contains very little helpful information.There's no:
Pokedex
Trainers Strategy
Helpful info on catching Legendary Pokemon All this guide is is a pricey walkthrough. You can print a better one of the net for free. If you have to buy a guide, though, buy Prima. I looked through it and it's a lot better.

Summary: something is lacking
Review: I found that this guide was not as helpful as the one published by Nintendo Power. It omits some critical information that the other guides have.

Summary: Keena70 says: If You Want Pokemon Learning, Here It Is!
Review: I was never that good at Pokemon, and as soon as I beat a game I put it down and forget about it. The Pokemon R&S Version Guide gave me specific details to where everything was. The strange thing was there are secret places to go and do things, and I found half of them by the time I got the book, and this is before I finished the game! The book laid everything out for me and I use it to help me find more Pokemon, secret places, and if I get stuck. If you need help or want to finish 100%, get the guide!

Summary: A Bit Disappointing...
Review: Since I usually play games with a strategy guide, I decided to get this with Ruby at the local Gamestop. Well, that and it was the only guide they had. Big mistake. If you're looking for a Pokedex with moves and evolution specifics, look elsewhere. If you're looking for hints on making Pokeblocks that actually help, don't go here. Pokemon locations? Only in the most generic sense. Attack descriptions (especially pertaining to contests)? Nope. Breeding info? Uh-uh. It does, however, do an excellent job of telling you which trainer has what critter, and how much $ you get as a reward. I can't, however, really recommend this guide. Go for Prima's version, or if you can find it, the Official Nintendo Player's Guide.

Summary: NOT GOOD, AT ALL!!!
Review: The only reason to get this guide is for the walkthrough. Sound good huh? What about everything else an RPG, let alone Pokemon guide should have? Nothing on breeding and no Pokedex. Not what I would want from a strategy guide like this. I've used other guides and while the info in the walkthrough is nice and neat and easy to use (they even give rosters for trainers), the overall work this guide has is a little poor. There are really no battle tips in this guide, and not only that but the guide seems a bit incomplete. For exacmple, no breeding tips and nothing about the different types. Usually this is something that we'd expect from a Pokemon guide. My advice is to go to Prima or Nintendo Power. They have a Pokedex at least.

Summary: DON'T GET IT
Review: This book is NOT helpful at all. It doesn't ANY and you have to figure things on your own. All in all, trying to get through the game on your own is better than with this guide. Anyway I had better luck figuring where to go on my own.
