I regret bying this peice. I bought it right when fire red and leaf green first came out. It does not halve the complete walkthrough. It cuts out on the islands, only showing you three of the seven islands. I think it might not even tell you there are seven Islands.Nor does it mention anything about getting ho-hoh, lugia, or deoxys. if you get stuck there, you'd be screwed. you think they put in a few more pages to give you all of the game. by time i got to the end and did not have four islands, i was so mad. And their is a different book which did include them, from a different company. Spend your money on a better product. If you like the pokedex, than buy just a poke dex book.

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.

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

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!

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.
