• A separate bonus Pokédex includes annotated data on all 492 Pokémon in the National Pokédex.


Customer Review: Great deal for the price


I actually have the guides and the pokedex for Diamond/Pearl, but I like to buy guides because the vast information in Pokemon games can be daunting and index, tables, and extra descriptions can be helpful not to mention the book are pretty to look at. Although I can find most information online, I like having the books right there while I am playing, instead of going back and forth online.

The only thing I didn't like with this book is that the paper quality chosen for this version is not the glossy kind unlike the previous versions. It is a thin matte paper that is probably chosen because of budget reasons? I dunno, but usually that is one thing I love about game guides, the quality prints on quality pages.

The content however has incorporated all the new changes and extra content that Platinum has to offer. Although I havent used the entire walkthrough since I have not finished Platinum just yet, I have already found some typos or some missing info. Like example, the power Leech Seed was missing from the Battle Moves List. There are probably some other minor typos or missing info like that, but the guide is still very helpful just as the Diamond/Pearl versions.

So for the price, Game guide + Pokedex, you can't go wrong with this deal.

*Edit: I just found out while playing tonite that the Battle moves orders have changed a bit in Platinum. Some Battle moves can be be attained at a different level than Diamond/Pearl gameplay.


Customer Review: Guide for beginners, But that is it


This 624 page guide is very informitave and great for beginners. This review is coming from someone who has played pokemon games for years and is on the compettive scene. here are my thoughts:

Props:
Great cover,informative on how to play the main game,decent post-game info, great cost for the product

Slops:
Poor paper and image quality,does not give all the info about every pokemon.

So if you play this game for fun or is for a new pokemon player, i HIGHLY recomend buying this.
if it is for someone who plays Pokemon on a regular basis, i would not bother.

Hope this helps everyone out there
