4.0 out of 5 stars Attractive guide but with some errors and omissions, October 29, 2003

By	Lee G. Gilman (Charlotte, NC, USA) - See all my reviews

Game guides for the Pokemon series like these are usually for casual players, or used by serious players mainly for the maps. There are a number of online, in-depth FAQ's on sites like gamefaqs.com which cover strategy that printed guides cannot. Prima's guide is certianly eye-candy when compared to the text file FAQ's found online. The maps are large and useful (by contrast, their Ruby/Sapphire guide has smaller maps which are harder to read for some locations.) However, there are shortcomings. It's ordered by area, so there are times when you must flip back through the book (after Team Rocket moves from Mahogany to Goldenrod, for example.) The Battle Tower is barely mentioned, the Pokedex only lists level-up moves for Pokemon (not TM or egg moves), and team rosters are only supplied for major opponents. It does have a very good breeding section and a listing of items. I recommend Prima's guide for the player who needs good maps, or who would like help getting through the game without spoilers for everything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pokemon Crystal, August 4, 2001

By	hayley beaumont "hazey88" (NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews

This book is filled with up-to-date information on pokemon crystal. Being a pokemon master, naturally this caught my interest. It is filled with maps, strategies and trainer pokemon information. Translation... everything you need to know (for ages 8+) to become a pokemon master. Of course you have to master the other pokemon games (red,blue,yellow,gold,silver and crystal) to claim yourself or your child a pokemon master. From the outstanding mind of Elizabeth.M.Hollinger came this 128pg creation, the ultimate pokemon crystal book.
