If you don't feel like buying it then don't. Pretty sure serebii will cover the games extensively if you're looking for a guide.

Don't buy a guide for a game you've been playing for 20 years. Nothing special, Internet is life!

Waste of money, in my opinion. On the other hand, if you can afford it, far from anyone to tell you what to buy.

It will be completely useless thanks to the internet, and full of errors, but game guides are....how to say...they "feel good" to have?

Get it only if it's for collection purposes.
Otherwise you're just throwing money away since it won't have anything interesting.

The only use a Pokemon Strategy Guide gave me was having the pokes art to draw at all times and not needing internet for it.

Also that secret language in Original Ruby and Sapphire.

There's literally no reason to buy this. You either go all out and get the fancy conversation piece that you never use, or pay nothing and use Google. Only a true autist would purchase this version of that book.

Both of these are free sources which are infinitely better than guides if paper aimed at 10 year old kids

It's going to have trash information in it.

>You can get TM18 in Honolulu
Okay, but that's a huge city. Where specifically?

>Inceniroar is known for its high attack stat!
What is the base value though?

Shit like that.

Not true? Maybe you don't care about base stats, but that doesn't mean that only competitive players do.

Personally I don't see the point now anymore, with so many sites having the same info.
But it's pretty cheap, so if you have the money then why not?

There's absolutely no reason to get it if you want it for the hints/guidance (seeing as everything will be available for free on the internet). But if you want it as a collector's item then go ahead.

I noticed at Target today that Pojo released a 20th anniversary edition of The Big Book of Pokemon. It's probably been out a while, though.

I've been buying the guides since GS so I just always but them. It's just part of the deal to me.
But I also have a fuckton of disposable income so it's not a big deal.

No, I'm getting it too. Then you can even laugh at everyone wondering where the secret spots on the routes/cities are or where to find all the TMs or why they can't find the pokemon that appear in the yellow flowers when they're searching in the blue. But I mostly just use them as nice overworld maps to look at when I'm bored or wonder if there's any nook or crabby I missed. It's also handy for daily/weekly events and a bunch of other stuff.
