5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2007-08-05

This book gave me great tips and had a lot of good info about contest items. Overall full of great info about my Pearl And Diamond game.

4 out of 5 stars Useful.......2007-07-29

This book was easy to follow and was very useful for solving the initial game. However, if you are only going to buy one book or you are trying to catch all the pokemon, the volume 2 pokedex is even more useful.

3 out of 5 stars Not a Pokedex.......2007-07-13

I bought this guide thinking it was a PokeDex. Had I known it was just a walkthrough I wouldn't have bought it.

However, for a walkthrough it is alright. It is a little jumbled and disorganized, but it has lots of information.

1 out of 5 stars My Comment To Confusion.......2007-07-12

Many of your Reviews about this guide say that after the League, it ditches you. Or, that there is not a full pokedex. Well, do any of you see the big VOL 1 on the right hand corner of your books? That means Volume 1. Which means, there is a Volume 2. I have volume 2, and says nothing about the pokemon league or gym leaders, etc, But it does talk about everything you can do AFTER beating the pokemon league. And there is a Pokedex which lists ALL 490 Pokemon. So Buy that Book Instead.This book though, I Have Never Read. So Based on Your Reviews, This Is What I give It.

5 out of 5 stars Great addition to my son's Pokemon collection........2007-07-04

Great guide for my son's evergrowing Pokemon collection. It helped him a lot to beat the game.

4 out of 5 stars Game Manual.......2007-10-03


I bought this book for my son and he really enjoyed reading it becuase he was really into the game he had. It's a good manual if your kids play the game.

4 out of 5 stars A good guide.......2007-01-18

The only real problem with the guide is the Pokedex in the back does not give enough information.

5 out of 5 stars As With Most Reviews, This is the Best Guide.......2006-12-23

Man, this is an awesome guide. I just got it in November and I already am at the Victory Road, about to enter the Pokemon League! Some reviews says it tells lies, and skips around the world of Hoenn; it doesn't! Some people even say that it skips Trainer imformation; but that's because Trainer's Pokemon are random. And for the "skipping around" part, just use the Quick Walkthrough to be guided and then head to the events of Hoenn in "Maps of Hoenn"! Some reviewers say that the guide calls Rock types Earth types, but that's usual. The guide even contains a Pokedex section, a List of Moves and a list of items! Here are the good and bad details about the guide (although it isn't that bad.)

- The Good,
- Nice walkthrough that connects to the Quick Walkthrough.
- Thorough Pokedex, containing every Pokemon.
- Nice charts for moves, and items.
- Strategies for all Sub Quests and Pokemon Contests.
- Good strategies for gym leaders, rivals and proteges, a.k.a. Wally.
- Nice maps showing every building.
- Locations of all Pokemon
- The Bad,
- Doesn't include Secret Bases.
- On the battle with Archie in the Seafloor Cavern, he doesn't have a Golbat, he has a Crobat.

- And the Ugly(I'm just kidding!)

Anyway, buy this guide; it's well worth it!

5 out of 5 stars A Pokemon Fan's Dream Come True.......2006-02-17

My daughter love the whole Pokemon genre, and especially enjoys the GameBoy Pokemon games. She has poured through this book many times already and just loved it. I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars Decent.......2005-11-26

This book is good for a quick walkthrough reference. It's simple to use and does its job well. If you need help with Ruby or Sapphire, I'd recommend picking this up!

3 out of 5 stars Prima Guide.......2007-05-08

Prima's guide for Pokemon Colosseum isn't nearly as good as the other guides. However it does give tips on the pokemon trainers you have to battle. What level they are at, type, and prize money. Which you don't get from Nintendo's guide. If just the tip on the pokemon trainers this guide is good, but for everything else Nintendo's walkthrough is alot better.

2 out of 5 stars I remember when the Prima guides for Pokemon games were actually GOOD.......2007-03-17

Prima used to make the best guide on the market for the Pokemon games. Their guide for Red & Blue was phenomenal, and their guide for Gold & Silver was really good, if a bit aggravating (They frequently wouldn't tell you what Pokemon certain trainers had), but since then the quality has gone way down with each guide, until you get to this piece of junk.

Now don't get me wrong, this guide has its uses. But it's missing a lot of information and is filled with inaccuracies, especially with the trainer lineups. It's really handy to know what Pokemon the trainers you're facing will have ahead of time, but not when that information is innaccurate. Sometimes you get lucky and the only problem is that it's the wrong graphic (which happens seemingly every other page), but other times it says a trainer has a Pokemon that he doesn't. There are also some trainers that the guide doesn't even mention, as if they don't exist. The guide says to heal and save in this one part, but it neglects to mention that you have to face a trainer in order to do that.

And don't get me started on the battle reccommendations. There a few lines about what moves to use under each trainer's box, but this information is just plain wrong half the time. It tells you that a certain type is effective against certain Pokemon when it's not. To get a bit technical, if you send out a fire-type Pokemon against a Lombre like the guide says you should in several places, then you deserve to lose that Pokemon to Surf.

Still, it isn't completely useless. The trainer information is handy when it's accurate, and there's a complete Pokedex in the back that has all the moves for all the Pokemon you can get within the game. The listing of items near the back is useless, though, because it doesn't tell you where to get those items, which is especially maddening for the TM's.

Because it does have its uses, I rate it a 2 out of 5.

5 out of 5 stars A Prima Strategy Guide Not To Be Missed.......2004-03-29

I'm getting the game Pokemon Colosseum and the Bonus Disk. As usual I get lost early in the game and Ta-Da!!! I reach for my Prima Strategy Guide and next thing you know I am playing the end of game extras. This is one Prima Strategy Guide not to be missed.

5 out of 5 stars This Book's Great!.......2004-03-15

If you're one of the many unsuspecting victims of Pokémon, Nintendo's astonishingly addictive role-playing game for the GameBoy portable game system, you must get your hands on this strategy guide. Covering both the Red and Blue versions of the game, this book will explain the premise behind the game, how to get started, and (most importantly) how to successfully capture all 150 Pokémon. Even though the game is played on a tiny handheld device, it is still remarkably complex--which explains why the book is so text-intensive, with tons of explanations and descriptions to help aspiring Pokémon trainers in their quest. Gameplay guidelines will help familiarize you with the basics; then you can move on to the quick and dirty walkthrough (which takes up all of two pages). However, the real meat of the guide lies in the walkthrough. Here you'll find all you need to know about the world of Pokémon--where to go, things to get, and Pokémon to capture. Also, the book includes helpful maps of each game location and tips for beating each of the eight rival trainers. The back of the book features useful tables and charts, including a checklist you can use to track the Pokémon you've snared. --Mike Fehlauer

Book Description

Do you have what it takes to become the World's Greatest Pokémon Trainer?

• Complete breakdown of Pokémon Island, including all cities, towns, streets and dungeons
• Locations, statistics, and skills of all 150 Pokémon
• Information on all Learned Skills, Technical Machines, and Hidden Machines
• Whereabouts of all items
• Tips for beating all eight Pokémon trainers
• Maps of every location

5 out of 5 stars Great Help.......2003-07-25

Don't know where to go to next, don't have a clue what you are doing. Look for this strategy guide and you'll find all the help you need to beat these two great games. I you ever buy Pokemon blue or red, make sure you get the strategy guide, and don't end of have a nervous breakdown, because you don't know what to do next. The only way I ever had a chance at beating this game was by buying the guide to help me. It helps you through all of the rough a tough spots in the game. A must have, ( only if you own 1 of these games).

Pokemon Return of the Squirtle Squad

Would you like to be saved by the Squirtle Squad? In this book the squad saves all the Pokemon from Team Rocket. I love this book because Ash thinks Squirtle is the best pet.

3 out of 5 stars Cool but needs improvement.......2002-08-14

They called Moltres "Moltos" but only once because they spelled it the right way in the back of the book. The maps and quick and dirty path were very helpful. The one thing I would like to see is trainer tables. That way, you know which trainers are which and what Pokemon they use. In Prima's Gold/Silver guide, this feature was included. In this game, the pokemon that the trainers use is a total mystery. The makers of the book should have thought about the trainer table idea when they wrote it.

4 out of 5 stars perfect, perfect.......2002-08-04

I love this toy and I cannot beat the game with out it!anyone who love pokemon and cant beat any game should hava every one!

5 out of 5 stars This book rocks!.......2002-07-16

Hey, I'm a girl. Yes that's right. And no, I'm not a tomboy. Usually only boys or tomboys play with Pokemon, but not me. I lurve it! I bought it and it really helped me! The maps and Pokemon info were amazing! To that guy who said his friend helped him through the whole game: and where did your friend figure out all the info? I'll bet he got it from this book. This book is awesome. A must have for any Pokemon Game Boy fan!! :-)

its super buy it the best

4 out of 5 stars Great Guide.......2002-08-02

I purchased this guide after losing the original one from 3 years ago. I found this one much more detailed and a lot more helpful. Instead of flipping around pages to find which Pokemon is caught where then flipping to another page to find out what HM's and TM's it can learn, you can get it all on the page for that Pokemon. Thanks again for another great book.

Sincerely, Eileen Caprio

1 out of 5 stars This books is a major disappointment!!!!!!.......2000-11-22

I bought this book thinking that it would be really good like the other Prima Pokemon guides. Their Silver/Gold guide is very comprehensive - with more information than the Nintendo guide. But this book is awful. The Ninentdo Version is so much better. If you want a good book for Pokemon Stadium get the Nintendo Guide book. They have full stats on all the Pokemon in the back including which HMs and TMs each Pokemon can use and their skills and their weaknesses. This book only tells you the the type of Pokemon and what it evolves to. My mom can tell you morea about Pokemon and she knows practically nothing. So don't waste your money! DONT BUY THIS BOOK. I am returning mine!

5 out of 5 stars There is a hidden advantage to buying these books...........2000-08-09

My son was willing to"plod" thru these types of books when they were waaaaay beyond his reading level in order to improve his game. So even though I can't say exactly how the book was I an say my son way more than willing to increase his reading ability to master this book. How bad can that be? This book had a motivating effect on my sons ability to read... my opinion way that that was a good thing in my son's case.

4 out of 5 stars Attractive guide but with some errors and omissions.......2003-10-30

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.

4 out of 5 stars Very good guide........2003-03-19

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.

5 out of 5 stars The Pokemon Guide.......2003-05-13

This tells you how to battle and all of the basics. It shows you the gym leaders pokemon and more.

2 out of 5 stars Not What I Thought It Was.......2003-03-04

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.

1 out of 5 stars Pokemon.......2003-02-21

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.

1 out of 5 stars pokemon stadium 2 Official Nintendo Player's Guide.......2003-07-03

ok, i have to vent somewhere. this is a review for the "official nintendo player's guide," not "prima's official guide," which this is supposed to be a review for. since it's out of print, i can't review it directly, but it is for sale in the z-shops area, or whatever it's called. anyway, these 2 books have the exact same picture on the cover, just different title/text. who knows about the interior. but the one i'm talking about is pure garbage. half the team combos they suggest are bad match-ups. thye could be good, but it's a 50-50 coin toss over half the time. the only reliable part is the classroom competition recommendations. about 1/2 the rest is REALLY bad. a decent player could have written a better book. the writers should be lynched, and i really hope they read this. i would give it 2 stars, because the classroom strategies work, but that should be a given...the bare minimum to even be considered for a rating. so i give it more than it deserves...a 1. please don't waste your time with this book, unless you're looking for a quick route to the crazy farm. if you're serious about using the book for its intended purpose, this horrid book will drive you insane!!

3 out of 5 stars Destroys the Meaning!.......2001-07-20

I have to start out by saying that I am not impressed. Basically, a lot of this book just repeates stuff that the game already tells you. Other than that, it tells you specifically what Pokemon to use! The whole point of being a "Pokemon trainer" is to assemble teams that suit you, not the game! If all you care about is beating the game, then this is very helpful (which is why I rated it three stars). But if you enjoy trying out different teams or beating the game with your just your favorite Pokemon, then this is not for you.

1 out of 5 stars Learn about a game before writing a book.......2002-07-02

Maybe authors should learn about a game before writing a strategy guide, that would certainly be a good idea. The people who wrote this knew nothing about the game. The section on happiness was absolutely stupid, most of the things listed there do not raise or lower happiness. They have proven they do not know anything about the mathematic values of the game, readily available through reverse engineering of a rom. The exact damage formula is not included (not that they would even know what it was), stat experience, what stat boosters REALLY do, etc.

4 out of 5 stars Good but they left out something!.......2001-10-25

This guide has almost everything you need to know. It has maps of the areas, what pokemon are located on each route, what each pokemon attack does, and much more. ( They also have a great cheat section. ) The only thing they didn't do very well was put the pokemon names with their attacks under them. The pokemon weren't all in one place. They were spread around the book in not any order! This makes them hard to find. Also the didn't include all the pokemon! Still, I think you should get this guide! The game is very hard without it. Also isn't it better to have a guide that is ok than no guide at all? ( I don't think there are any other Pokemon Gold and Silver guides. )

3 out of 5 stars Almost a perfect Prima Guide..........2001-09-02

but only almost. This good book to get through the game quickly. As far as finding Pokémon or finding out what they learn at each level (Pokédex info), it only shows Pokédex info on a few of the new Pokémon. The maps of the areas, towns and caves are done really well, as they also show you all the items that can be foundas well as (most) Pokémon listed by whether they appear in the morning, day or night. The charts on the trainers/gym leaders are also well done. The sealed section in the back is useful, if you really get stuck or need a hint. If you prefer more information (i.e. Pokédex, etc...) I recommend the 'Versus Books Official Pokémon Gold & Silver Perfect Guide (Collectors Edition)'.
