5.0 out of 5 stars The best handbook that's chock full of Pokemon info, December 1, 1999
This review is from: The Official Pokémon Handbook (Paperback)
Absolutely the best of the best. This book is amazing. Information on not only the first 150, but also includes Mew and Togepi. You wouldn't find any other handbook with THAT info. Speaking of which, the handbook had also told me Mew's Pokemon that he had the advantages and disadvantages on. It definitely helped me on beating the Elite Four after so much trouble that I had. It's a perfect handbook for when you're looking for Pokemon that you would use to battle, looking at stats for the monsters, or just wanting to read it for NAR (No apparent reason), it's the perfect book for any kind of trainer. Doesn't matter. And it also comes with a special pull-out poster which would be nice to have too. The best and MUCH better than the first one. Beat it by a mile or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Reference Guide for Kids and Adults., October 24, 1999
This review is from: The Official Pokémon Handbook (Paperback)
This OFFICIAL Pokemon Handbook is a great reference guide to the wonderful world of "pocket monsters". It not only covers all the Pokemon including MEW and TOGEPI but also comes with a full color poster of the creatures too !! The author does a fine job of describing the characters, techniques and the essentials to raising a happy Pokemon. Fans of the Pokemon television show will appreciate the in depth look at the Pokemon Trainers like Ash/Brock, a complete listing of all eight Gym Leaders and their Pokemon not to mention how one gears up to join the Pokemon League. In short if you need to find out essential facts about each and every Pokemon available today or you're vaguely curious what a POKEMON is look no further because this is the resource manual to buy if you "gotta catch 'em all !".

5.0 out of 5 stars Mom's review, June 17, 2000
This review is from: The Official Pokémon Handbook (Paperback)
I got this book for my oldest son and he loves it. Each of the first 150 Pokemon are shown and described, in easy to understand language. It was so simple even *I* understood it!

My son is 9 and he thought this book was perfect for what he wanted. His younger brothers (ages 5 and 2) also liked it, and my 2 year old can now name at least 75 Pokemon by sight as a result!

I think it's a good, fun tool for the kids in that it develops their memory. Not only does it teach them the names of the Pokemon, but also their type and other information about them. I would recommend this book to any Pokemon enthusiast.
