When I was like 4 I got the gen 1 strategy guide just to look at the pictures.
Completely useless for gameplay but it was fun to flip through. Probably helped me learn to read, too.

I have a few of them for Gens 1 and 2 when those were new. When I got Ruby the week it came out, it was bundled with the Nintendo Power guide.

I wanted them just to flip through and look at the pictures as a kid. I'd ask for my parents to buy me the guides for games I don't have because they didn't want me to play games at all.

I bought them for Gen 3 (when I started playing) and the limited-edition, hardcover BW guide for its collectibility.

I bought them for Emerald and FRLG because I used to draw the Pokémon as a kid. Internet was much slower in the early 2000s.

I bought the FRLG and Emerald ones, not for the strategic information but for the maps. I didn't have the internet at home back then so I didn't have access to shit like this the way I do now.

I wanted the Sevii Islands especially since I didn't even that a GBA. I wasn't happy when I found out the book only included the first 3.

The HGSS one was actually pretty based, it was a guide for all of the routes in johto and a few other bits and bobs, and then had the johto dex list inside with level up movesets.

Only for concept art pages. With USUM they made even a proper art book that came with guide. It had art from both USUM and SM. Pic related.
