4.0 out of 5 stars Pokémon TCG for the GameBoy : REVIEWED, April 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Pokemon Trading Card Game (Game Boy Version) (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
A book worth having handy while playing the game, this guide to the long awaited 'Pokémon TCG for the GameBoy' has information on almost every card with even the tiniest details. With 226 cards to collect,8 gyms and 4 finalists to beat,people to find,people to beat and stratagies to plan this amazing book will help you all the way through your journey starting at Dr.Masons Lab (where you get your first deck(and finishing at the PokéDome (where you try and beat the final four). Also don't forget you'll still have to collect the 226 cards availible to you throughout the game, cards ranging from the rare Mew to the shocking Pikachu to the fire-blasting Charizard. These cards aren't easy to find though you'll only be able to get them by beating other trainers you meet along the way. Don't forget to look out for the 4 legendary cards only availible in the PokéDome after beating the Elite Four !

This review is from: Pokemon Trading Card Game (Game Boy Version) (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
Prima's guide for Pokemon is pretty darn good. The layout is done nicely and explantions of the different parts of the game are done well. Maps and key figures are identified and the screen captures are nice and clear.

Out of the 226 cards that can be collected in this game, Prima does an excellent job in cataloging each one by power and energy type. They also give very helpful pro's and con's on each card and tell you which ones are worth having, and a few that you probably don't want to use in your deck.. An intersting side note: Prima also gives the origin on many of the card, that is, if they debuted in Japan or America first and when. Also, unique to the Gameboy are special cards only obtained in the Gameboy version.

There are some strategies on how to build certains decks that will aid you in defeating some of the club masters, and a nice feature is Prima identifies the club master and other boss decks so you can build a great deck before you encounter them.

The one drawback I see with this guide is the lack of card combinations descriptions. Though there are some, there are a lot more to be discovered that could have been written about. Also, if they can break down the decks of the club masters and bosses, they could have also done the same for other NPC's within the game, but give very vague guidelines/hints on most of the NPC's

Overall, a good buy for the price.
