Summary: Good but they left out something!
Review: This guide has almost everything you need to know. It has maps of the areas, what pokemon are located on each route, what each pokemon attack does, and much more. ( They also have a great cheat section. ) The only thing they didn't do very well was put the pokemon names with their attacks under them. The pokemon weren't all in one place. They were spread around the book in not any order! This makes them hard to find. Also the didn't include all the pokemon! Still, I think you should get this guide! The game is very hard without it. Also isn't it better to have a guide that is ok than no guide at all? ( I don't think there are any other Pokemon Gold and Silver guides. )

Summary: Prima Pokemon Gold and Silver looses luster
Review: This guide is not like the past Prima books. It is missing crucial information especially on Pokemon. Will there be another version coming. Let's hope so. If there is a Pokedex available by prima I'd invest in it instead of the guide.

The reason I rate this book three stars is because it walks you through, but in the order of trail...not in the order of how you should go. So you will be doing al lot of skipping around in the book to find where you are at. Do we want more. I think the answer is an emphatic yes.

Summary: prima's guide to pokemon silver/gold
Review: This guide will help you to get past most of the problems you will face. it will help you to locate where a pokemon lives and more. for example it will tell you that hoot [the owl pokemon] are common at the start of the game at night.it will also give you a list of witch pokemon can be found in which version and what there moves are and what level they learn what move. it will show you a picture of what they look like in the gameboy. Also it will tell you where to find a TM or item. And it will say witch people you can get a phone number of.

Summary: Not bad
Review: THis hint guide is really good, but the fact that they don't mark which trainer is which is confusing. Not only that but they don't show all the evolutions of the pokemon you catch. Just the biggining form. Meaning you have to buy a diffrent book to get the stats you need. Other then that not too bad.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: where's the pokedex
Review: This is a helpful book if you don't want pokemon information.The Red and Blue Guide does have pokemon info.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just Not Enough!
Review: This is an ok book if you are just speeding through the game very quickly. But it wouldn't help much if you want to capture pokemon or breed them or whatever. It would have been better if it includes a pokedex on the back with stats and evolution. But overall it's okay. It has really nice maps of different towns and cities and caves, etc. It also shows you all the items that can be found in different areas and also pokemon that will appear in the morning, day and nighttime. It kind of show you a little pokedex of one or two pokemon that is new. There are also charts on the trainers that you will be battling and their pokemon as well. Also the book shows you the different gym leaders and their pokemon with all their moves and also which types of pokemon will take effect. On the back, there is a sealed section that tells you more secret on capturing rarer pokemon and other stuff. It also shows you different types of balls and which seeds it is made from. The only bad thing is that it doesn't tell you where to go next, like what you do after this or that, they just show you the whole city on the same page. This would be a lot better if it's more detailed with the pokedex so you will know when the pokemon will evolve and other stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Prima's Gold/Silver Strategy Guide
Review: This strategy for Pokemon Gold and Silver is very accurate and thorough. The maps are impeccable and are extremely succorable (helpful) when you are searching for the hard to find Pokemon such as Lugia. Also, when your trying to exit a cantankerous cave, this guide will really get you of its "toughspots". Overall, this is a veritable Pokemon guide if you are stuck in this game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Stragetgy Guide
Review: This thing is sweet!!. Its a great guide for Pokemon gold and silver. It has maps, shows where the items are etc. You should go get this book. But instead i think you should get the " nintendo Players Guide for Pokemon gold and silver " They are the guys who made pokemon and theyre really useful.

Summary: great
Review: this was a great book and it really helped me get through the game faster and easier

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No negative star ratings?
Review: To the Poke freak (like myself) who wants a good reliable guide, ... The maps are large, detailed, etc. but the notes and arrows obscure waaaaay too much. There are tons of trainer info, but do you REALLY want to know what guy will send out Machop level 15 followed by an Onix and so on and so on. Wild poke data is all but nonexistant, and there is no... list of pokemon. The most complete section describes each gym leaders' pokemon's type, level and moves.
