Summary: Packed with info, maps, hints, tips...
Review: Not sure what the other reviewers are annoyed about, but you MUST get this.It's well written and easy to understand, with GREAT maps that are really clear. Without these maps you migh tfind yourself bumbling aroudn the cities and forests forever. The guide also gives you th einside scoop on gym leaders, elite four, which pokemon to use when, etc. There is NO WAY you can know all this info without the book. If you consider not knowing where to find all the different Pokemon a drawback, then you are missing the point. It is a STRATEGY guide, not a TELL-ALL book! You need to be able to do some of this stuff yourself. Trust me, if you are told this info, there is no point in playing the game - NO surprises left. Get this book, you'll be glad you did!

Summary: Where's The Pokedex?! But heres some help!!
Review: Now Im a big Poke Fanatic and I have seen past guide books and the one feature that makes it great is a pokedex. WHY DOESN'T THIS BOOK HAVE ONE?!?!?! But I noticed that theres an ad in this that shows a POKEMON COOMPLETE POKEDEX!!! I have looked for it everywhere and I can't find it. If you are looking for a pokedex go to http://www.pokemoninfodex.com/ its the best online pokedex. Make sure to check it out.

Summary: A HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT
Review: Okay, maybe the maps are great...but who's the dork who decided to put all the Pokedex information in a separate book?? I should have checked this book out more carefully before buying it...I'm sure there are others out there that do a COMPREHENSIVE job in one volume!!

Summary: Helpful.. but could be better
Review: The book is useful for a beginner. But, more complete info (like a Pokedex) would have gone a long way. There are better websites than this book, if you're looking for g/s tips...

Summary: A Big Disappointment
Review: This book does NOT measure up to previous Prima guide standards. The only reason I gave it two stars at all is because the maps are good. If you're looking for a book to help you find the new Pokemon and complete your Pokedex, this is no help. Unlike Prima's previous strategy guides, there is no appendix in the back telling evolution requirements, listing moves, or stating locations. There's not even a checklist for the pokemon! It seems that they tried to print this book before thouroughly researching it, because in some places where a new pokemon is being discussed, there is a big question mark where the picture should be.(No, not on the legendary ones, on ones I saw pictures of on the internet months ago.) In some route descriptions there are no new pokemon listed as being found there, but there's a small note that says there MAY be new pokemon there, like they're not sure. On one of the last pages there's an advertisement for a separate Prima guide, the Pokedex. In the Red/Blue/Yellow books this feature was included. One less important carelessness, there are frequent spelling/grammatical errors throughout the book. In conclusion, if you want a good Pokemon guide, save your money and look elsewhere.

Summary: Prima as dumb as Nintendo's
Review: This book was a disaponitment. No checklist, no pokedex, and they say NEW pokemon MAY BE HERE. The maps are good and walkthrough is ok. But Nintendo's players guide was even worse. oh well
