 Informative And Great August 22, 2007

This pokemon pokedex is great. It shows the average stats of a pokemon and the post elite four walkthrough. It has a detailed map and art map of the sinnoh region. It shows all the moves the pokemon can learn and when it learns it. It shows the TM and HM moves it can learn also. To find the pokemon you have to use the back of the pullout map. Many people complain about it but it is easy. The pokedex does go in numerical order.
 NOT Ultimate at all August 8, 2007

This "Pokedex" provides the user with so little information that its purpose is lost. All it lists are the attacks the pokemon can learn and information that no one really cares about like its size and weight (which can easily be obtained simply by using the in game pokedex although you must have the pokemon). It does not give the reader ANY information about where to obtain the pokemon. Besides the lack of information, Nintendo goes so far as to call it the "Ultimate" dex while, for some reason, not including information for the final 3 pokemon. The "Ultimate Dex" ends at pokemon #490, Manaphy. It seems that they don't want people to know there are actually 3 more pokemon after that: Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. These pokemon, while impossible to obtain without hacking until Nintendo gets around to releasing them, are still pokemon and should have been included in the "Ultimate Dex" like Mew, Jirachi, and Celebi are even though they too are "secret" pokemon.

I like the Pokedex because it tells you a lot about every Pokemon. What I don't like about this book is it doesn't tell you which Pokeball to use to catch the Pokemon. All in all it is a great book to buy because it tells you some things that you might not be able to find in the guide book.
 Not as good as the Prima guide in my opinion June 19, 2007

As stated in other reviews, this pokedex does not include information on where to get the pokemon on the pages. That information is found in Volume 1 - the game guide by Nintendo Power or on the back of the pullout map in this pokedex. I found flipping back and forth between the two books to be quite cumbersome and that map... it's not going to last long if you keep using it by pulling it out and laying it out. Not to mention that it is just as inconvenient. References should have information easily accessible, and not just there for you to hunt it down.
See my review on the Prima Pokedex for more information, but I much prefer that version compared to this one. All the information on the pokemon is much more conveniently organized (and more in depth) in Prima's version than in this pokedex.
It's going back June 9, 2007

I just recieved this pokedex, and it's going right back in exchange for the prima version.
If you want a guide simply to have a list of all the pokemon, their types, evolution levels, if they need a special item to evolve, and list of moves, then this book will be perfect for you.
The pictures are good, the pages are nice, it's a good quality book, it even has a bit of a walkthrough post elite four, but,
IF YOU WANTED A GUIDE SO YOU WOULD KNOW WHERE POKEMON ARE LOCATED, THIS BOOK HAS NO INFORMATION FOR YOU.
There is absolutly nothing on where to find pokemon or even which version you will find the various pokemon in (not as big of a deal for seasoned gamers, but a big deal for newbies and anyone with only one version). The #1 reason I purchased my first pokedex at the R/S/E level was because I had found all the ones that were common and needed help with rare and legendary pokemon.
The prima guide has typos, this is true, but, they also have locations.
It just depends on what you want out of your dex.
