I used to live by these things until they went full fucking kike and split up the walkthrough and the dex so you need to buy 2 different $20 books.

Not to mention, they have started the cancerous trend of only listing the Pokemon's level-up moves and skipping tutor/egg moves. It's fucking awful.

I do have this one, its pretty amazing, it has all the info on moves (including egg and move tutors ones)

It doesnt have Hoopa (it was revealed later) but it has all 719 mons, formes, index of items, moves, tms etc. The first book had all the walkthrough. Both contain concept art

Pretty much this. I think HG/SS was the last one I bought, and it didn't have full Pokedex. They also have a bad habbit of not listing every move they can learn, and also I don't think any of them show BST and rather just a graph.

It's probably pretty handy, though I wonder if it shows Pokemon locations for all gen 3+ games, or just gen 6.

Last one I bought was for RSE I think and it wasn't even completely right from what I remember.

I bought it so my cousin and I could unlock the Regi trio. Fun times, but the RBY one had far superior artwork.

Thats the case with basically all of the Pokemon guidebooks since they do have an issue with the revealed event legendaries (they cant just spoli it)

These days? That's a problem with *any* guidebook/strategy guide. There are always updates/balances/patches/expansions and they almost invariably invalidate at least part of any printed material. That's not to say that they can't be useful sometimes, but by and large it's more of a collector thing than it is needing the tips and walkthroughs.

I just look it up on serebii or whatever decent pokemon site that has online guides.

Dropping buying this shit when they started making lesser in quality and releasing them in volumes like it's a fucking book series to justify charging twice the price. Guides screwed being good around gen 4. The only exception past that was gen 5 and only the collection editions were only ones actually worth it.

Thats not true. The first guides (gen 1-3) were horrible, they had a lot of mistakes ec. From the newer one the only one that kind of sucks was XY (part1). BW2 ones or ORAS ones are one of the best they ever released

From what I've seen, Game Freak never allow their official material to show the actual base stats. A graphical representation is the best we can hope for.

Alright. You may have a point there and I'll respect your opinion at lest.

Even if the gen 1-3 were horrible though. At lest they didn't split a single book of shit and offer us to waste an extra 20 or 30 bucks. The only thing that can I see even justifying it is including an extra amount of printed pages to expand on the pokedex, items page, and list of abilities. Even with that it isn't that much. I could be wrong with that too though, so I'll just leave it at that.

If they wouldnt split the newer guides they would need 1000 pages at least

I got the Explorers of Sky guide because there's nowhere near as much online information on the game and its mechanics as for the main series games.
