2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Thought It Was, March 3, 2003
By Lothridge (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews
There was no detail on this book, and I got it thinking it was a walkthrough. Oops! So to make sure no one else makes the same mistake that I did, I'll tell you what information this book contains.

The PokeDex of all 251 Pokemons. That's the primary purpose of this book. The PokeDex lists the Pokemons, their evolutions (if any), how to catch them if possible, what their move sets are, and their stats.

Basic information on how to play this game. Information on the three starter Pokemons, how the "rock / scissor / paper" aspect of this game plays out, how to use the PokeGear, and all of that.

An "events" calendar chart telling you what events takes place on what days.

A list of all the moves available in the Pokemon, including the TMs and HMs.

Where to get all the TMs and HMs in the game.

A list of items that Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow carry over with them onto Gold/Silver/Crystal.

An explanation of what mystery gifts are.

A list of all the items available in the game, and what they do.

The Pokemon breeding guide. Who can breed with whom, what baby Pokemons there are, and how to get them.

What this book does NOT contain is a comphresive walkthrough of the Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal games. The book also does NOT tell you the locations of the wild Pokemons, and the odds of catching them in that location.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a Pokedex not a Strategy Guide!, August 20, 2003
By Vaughn C. Worrell (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
My son was waiting all week for this and was sorely disappointed when it didn't have any of the maps and hints like the other strategy guides! You should make certain that it points this out and only buy this one if you need the PokeDex information.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a walk through!, June 26, 2003
When I got this I thought it would be a walk through, boy was I wrong! This guide has EVERYTHING I can think of but a walk through! It does have how to use the game, all of the items you can get in the game, *extremely* detailed information on all 251 pokemon, pages on breeding pokemon, etc. Although this guide let me down because of the missing walkthrough (Earning it the 2 star rating) it is helpful, but only if you have or don't want a walk through.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pokemon
This book was only helpful because there is a calender of events at the back. If you are looking for cheat codes, don't buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide!
Explained to me in a lot of detail the game, and how to overcome the emotions of a dual-layered multiplexed platform such as the one described. Read more
