4.0 out of 5 stars Cool in the end but I was confused, July 7, 1999
By A Customer
I didn't understand that you have to have Publisher98, Acrobat or Photoshop to use the disk that comes with this game. If you don't have these programs then you need to use the paper templates that they give you. This was confusing. But then I read the book and figured out that I could make all the games with just the paper templates. It was like the ulitmate model building and I worked on the cards for WEEKS and loved every minute of it. I actually made pokemon cards, star wars cards, and a set of spider cards for my brother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for either very little ones or computer savvy teens, May 20, 1999
By A Customer
Though I really enjoyed giving this book out to the children of my friends and to my own five year old daughter, I wanted to make a mention about age. I just photocopied the card templates included with this book and gave a pile of them to my daughter. She drew her own Pokemon (adorable!) creatures with colored pens and then I had them laminated and cut them part. She had a lot of fun and I consider the cards a "keeper" in my Baby Scrap Book. I also gave the book to a co-workers son (Michael, 13) who loves computers and Michael reported back that he loved it. He made more than a 100 cards with pictures he got off the Web and has "mastered" the games. However, when Michael's brothers (8 and 10) tried the book out they were frustrated because they just wanted something that made cards for them with little work on their part. So, I think the book is great for either very little ones who like to draw or older children who are driven and self-directed. This is not for pre-teens (or teens for that matter) who want the quick and easy craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE HECK OF A GOOD BOOK
This book is the best! It should have a sequel because you could do better printouts with new tech.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes great collectable cards not just games
You have to be good to figure this book out. I couldn't do it so I gave it to my sister. She used the paper samples of cards. She made 150 copies of the sample with the oval. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Throw the disk away.
This books comes with a disk but it isn't a program. Use the paper cards that come with the book to make your own cards. Then this book rocks!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is just paper stapled together
This book is not fair, it only gives you some simple rules for a few games and some blank pages to make cards. This is a scam!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best game (beside GameBoy Blue)
Great book! I made my cards with the Publisher98 template and graphics from pokemon.com. I play using the MetaMark rules. It's the best pokemon game I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Pokemon books I bought this summer
Don't even bother to use the disk templates that come with this book. Use the paper ones -- your cards will look much better if you draw the Pokemon or use stickers. Cool idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confused?
This book has a paper template called Oval that makes excellent cards using the stickers from The Nintendo Stragey guide. I love this book :)
