If you play Pokemon, like Pokemon, and most especially, if you want to be good at Pokemon, this IS the book for you.

No book on Pokemon better covers the strategies and details the techniques needed to win the Pokemon TCG (Trading Card Game) better than this one. Author Brian Brokaw offers highly useful insight into every aspect of the game, from Synergy to disruption techniques, plus three tournament-winning deck designs you can look at to see what a winning deck should be! I cannot tell you how much this book will change your game for the better. I read this book for the first time about four months ago and since then I have won six local Pokemon tournaments. You'll be amazed at what perspective somebody else can offer.

Does every card in your deck help you win the game? It can, and Mr. Brokaw will be happy to show you how.

While this book mainly covers the Pokemon TCG, there are other sections on merchandise, Pokemon Snap for N64, Japanese Pokemon games, Mall Tours and more, including a section on the individual Pokemon and trainer cards, along with strategy tips and helpful rules clarifications for each one (a VERY helpful section, especially for the beginning player).

The verdict: whether you are a beginning player with 10 cards to your name or a multi-talented master of the Pokemon world, this book is bound to help you to see new ways to improve your decks and your game like you never thought possible.

This book is a really helpful book. You should buy it! It really helped me build a winning deck. I win every time I play Pokemon cards. I have built an exceptionally strong fighting-psychic deck. Plus I can make good trades because there is a price guide. So now, I won't get gyped (its about time!)

very good graphics in this book of all 150 pokemon pictures this is a book i would pay 20 dollars for it.

This book is great because I belong to the Pokemon Trading Card Game League and it gave me tips on how to improve my deck and to improve my skill in dueling Pokemon Cards. This book also said... wait I can't tell you what else it said because then I would be ruining for other people so I will say nothing else then to buy this book for yourself and read its good tips

I got this book for Christmas because my decks really blew andI wanted a handy spoiler list. This book has just an awesome deckbuilding section! It goes through every component of building a dreamdeck. The spoilers have a graphic for every card, and you can clearly read the card text. It also has a few archetypes, such as Haymaker, Rain Dance, etc. The biggest bonus was the Pokemon Snap guide, it helped me beat it! I would've liked maybe a few more archetypes and maybe card ratings, but hey, it's still a great book!

This book is so cool it just isn't funny. I want to give it more stras but i can't because it says, "1 2 3 4 5 stars" there is no, "948572980467 stars". Has all the card spoilers and the prices. (well the olny problem with the whole thing is there is no fossil card things in here fo you out there who know what i'm talking about.

It was a pretty good book, it's just I didn't see enough strategy info. The best part was the Advanced Rules and Information.

This book not only gives you helpful advice on building a deck , it gives individual strategy on each card in the Base Set and Jungle sets . ( If it were a little more updated , it would be a must-have)DON'T WAIT! GET IT NOW!
