5.0 out of 5 stars the better pokedex compared to Nintendo Power's version, June 19, 2007
By 
This review is from: Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Pokedex: Prima Official Game Guide Vol. 2 (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)
Initially, I bought the Ninento Power Pokedex because I thought it would be a safer bet to go with the 1st party guide. However, even without comparing that pokedex to this version, Prima's, I was unhappy with it.

Both the Prima and Nintendo pokedexes are designed as a 2nd book to the walkthru books. Some of the comments of those guides mention that they don't go to the later parts of the game (after beating the Elite 4). Those parts are addressed here. However, I did not focus on the guide as I really just wanted a Pokedex reference.

Nintendo Pokedex:
2 pokemon per page vertically arranged
large size picture of pokemon
basic stat info
icon image (w/ male/female versions if needed)
evolution path (text only)
list of moves showing: number, name, category, type, contest, AP

Prima Pokedex:
2 pokemon per page horizontally arranged
medium size picture of pokemon
basic stat info
icon image...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars All the information other guides have been missing is here., May 27, 2007
This review is from: Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Pokedex: Prima Official Game Guide Vol. 2 (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)
What I have to praise about this product is not what it has so much as what other published guides have been missing. Specifically, the previous Diamond and Pearl guide from this same publisher was missing a lot of information regarding pokemon that previous guides about previous pokemon games had included, such as pokemon statistics and move lists.

With so many new pokemon in the latest games, and the new wi-fi battle network, not to mention Pokemon Battle Revolution coming for the Wii in the US in late June, anyone who wants to be competitive would benefit greatly from this guide.

Finally, this guide has one more thing the previous guide lacks, and that's any information at all about what to do in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl after becoming Pokemon Champion. Even casual pokemon players, therefore, have a use for this guide.

If you have something against Prima, Nintendo has a similar guide that may not have a poster, but is a dollar cheaper and may...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pokedex, July 5, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Pokedex: Prima Official Game Guide Vol. 2 (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)
It has all the pokemon, but it goes by their numbers in numerical order; so, it takes a little effort to find them, but if you know their regions it will be easier locating them. It has maps of a few places and routes. It tells you where to find all the items and where to finds all the HMs and TMs. It tells you where to find all the berries, but it does not tell you where certain important buildings are, like the Move Tutor. All and all, it is good.
