insufficient...watch out!! May 30, 2007

There are apparently 2 of these books. This one does not have the complete "pokedex" for all the little critters...how they evolve, where there are found, etc. A week after I got this for my son along with the "diamond game", he was spending his own $$ at Wal-Mart to get the other prima guide (that looks very much like this one) that did have the whole pokedex...perhaps this one is an earlier printing, or there are 2 books on purpose so the publisher can make more money capitalizing on kids' and parent's confusion and ignorance.
 A huge disappointment May 30, 2007

I am very disappointed with the quality of this strategy guide. It does not explain how to do anything after beating the elite 4 (the pokemon champions that you battle after collecting all of the badges). There are so many different legendaries to catch. Other prima guides eg. those for pokemon ruby and sapphire, were much more complete. They explained everything, start to finish, even the different activities to do after beating the elite 4. The pokedex section is incomplete. This book is just a gimmick to get you to buy volume 2 (the pokedex) as it even says inside that there will be 8 more pokemon in the official pokedex (the 8 that are missing probably). I hope that in future the prima guides will be as good as the one for pokemon ruby and sapphire, because if the rest are as bad as this one there is no point of buying a strategy guide; you can just get free walkthroughs on the internet that explain more than this guide.

Actually the guide tells you like any other guide the how to's, but what I didn't liked is the fact that it doesn't have an evolutionary chart with levels and attacks like in the previous guides. I had to go to a website to at least find how to evolve the pokemon, which the one thing I love to do the most with these games.
 Pretty Good Guide May 22, 2007

I bought this guide about a month ago a little while after I got Diamond and Pearl. Overall it's a fairly good guide, though the organization can be confusing at times. As many other people have said, this guide does lack a proper pokedex (all it has is where to encounter all the Sinnoh pokemon), and it ends at the Elite Four, without continuing to explain all about the fight zone or Stark Mountain or how to get the other 343 non-Sinnoh pokemon. But if you look in the top-right corner of the cover it says that there is a "Volume 2". This guide (it says) will have a complete pokedex and post-story guide.
I would suggest this guide to anyone who owns Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and feels that they might need some assistance in completing the story-mode. The book does have high quality pictures of almost all places, both outside and inside, with few exceptions. If you are looking for a guide on how to catch every pokemon and complete the story after the elite four, save your money and buy "Volume 2" when it comes out soon:Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Pokedex: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)
