4.0 out of 5 stars A moderately good Guide
Alright, this guide was worth the extra money I had to pay to get it with the "Pokemon Crystal" game. It did tell me some things I never new before, like how, depending on the pokemon you fight, your Pokemon's stats are effected. For example, if you fight a fast pokemon, it will give your pokemon's speed stat a workout. It will work as a guide for all three games. (Gold,...

3.0 out of 5 stars One good handbook for Pokemon Crystal
What I love about Pokemon Crystal and the handbook (even though it's worth some extra money), it feels like I'm the guy in the game. This would be one awesome handbook if everybody could see it. It would probaly be rated number 1 on the hot things list.

Alright, this guide was worth the extra money I had to pay to get it with the "Pokemon Crystal" game. It did tell me some things I never new before, like how, depending on the pokemon you fight, your Pokemon's stats are effected. For example, if you fight a fast pokemon, it will give your pokemon's speed stat a workout. It will work as a guide for all three games. (Gold, Silver, Crystal) When there is a difference from gold or silver, it points it out in a conveinient little box. One thing you should be aware about, on the back cover, it does NOT say the stuff the person said in the editorial review. Here's what it really says (The guide is right in front of me): Be prepared to meet the new characters, solve the new puzzles, and face the new challenges added to the worlds of gold and silver! Wheather this is your first trip to Johto or you're a seasoned master, this essential guide reveals all the new features in pokemon crystal! -THREE GUIDES IN ONE! Step-by-step walkthrough takes you from start to finish in pokemon gold, silver, and Crystal! -COMPLETE COVERAGE! Solutions to Pokemon Crystal's new puzzles, rosters for every new trainer, how to capture Suicune, and MORE! -EXPERT TACTICS! Defeat every trainer and gym leader, earn all 16 badges! -PLUS - Combat and breeding tips, super-useful quick reference tables, and MUCH MORE!

That is EXACTLY what it says. No detailed info on pokemon stats. It does NOT tell you where to find pokemon. ... It does have a combat chart, complete move list, and complete item list. Overall, a decent 160-page guide.

This review is from: Pokémon Crystal Official Pocket Guide (Paperback)
This is a handy pocket-sized companion guidebook for the Pokemon Game Boy Color Crystal game. This is really a gift for my son so I have little to say about it other than he finds it helpful and useful. I ordered it through amazon.com because it is not an easy book to find locally any longer since the game is no longer manufactured.
