2.0 out of 5 stars Not really as complete as it would have you think, April 5, 2007
This review is from: Beckett's Unofficial Guide to Pokemon (Paperback)
I bought this book when it was first released a few months ago thinking it would be similar to the original Beckett Pokemon TCG guide (which you can still buy on Amazon). The original contained nice pictures of all of the cards, grouped into sets, in order. They even went so far as to include and translate all of the current Japanese cards (which were quite a lot at the time) in the same manner as the USA cards. Also were included pictures and lists of all the current Promo cards (US and Japan) and even Japanese oddities like the Japanese only Vending set.

That brings me to the new "updated" 2007 edition of the guide. The bulk of this book is nothing more than a list of every pokemon from Red/Blue, Silver/Gold, and Ruby/Sapphire with a random image of a card featuring them. The rest is the standard text only list price guides / check lists in the back. But even these are incomplete. Many sets don't include any cards other than the Rares, making the book useless for any kind of record keeping.

In short I was dissapointed with the book as it serves no real practicle purpose. No sets with card images, no complete check lists, nothing I couldnt have found for free either from Nintendos Pokemon TCG website or elsewhere on the internet.

If you want a "Pokedex" type book I suggest the Prima guide that includes actual game information for every pokemon from every game.

As for this book, its a complete waste of money.Pokemon 10th Anniversary Pokedex (Prima Official Game Guide)

Kids seem to think it was worth it. Came with a price guide. Cheaper than buying it the store.
