Pokemon Black Version 2 & White Version 2 Official Strategy Guide - Complete Walkthrough, Tips & Tricks for Nintendo DS - Perfect for Trainers to Master the Game and Catch All Pokemon

Exactly as described thank you.This is the first strategy guide I purchased since Pokemon Gold and Silver (not HeartGold and SoulSilver) and I am really happy with it but also slightly disappointed. As with the games, Nintendo and Gamefreak change features constantly it seems in their walkthrough strategy guides as well. Like I said this is my first guide in a very long time, but when old guide used to tell me what Pokemon every single trainer had on every single path that I would encounter. That's not so with this guide, they only tell you how many Pokemon the trainer is holding. It's still a great guide but that disappointed me. The rest of the book though is absolutely fantastic. The binding, the colors, the quality, everything is great. The guide itself doesn't start for maybe 50 or 100 pages in, but the intro and information in the beginning of the book is also just perfect. Some of the pages in my opinion seem to be out of ordered strangely. The page numbers are correct but the order of events gets a little strange at some points. For example they'll tell you to board the Team Plasma ship, but not tell you how to get onto the ship until after you read the whole walkthrough on how to defeat the ship. It's hard to explain but if you go through the book it makes sense. This little issue just leads to skipping ahead and then back a few pages. There's also a lot of information in this book that I would have never known about had I not purchased it. I've been playing Pokemon since I was 4 when Red and Blue came out and there is nothing better than the franchise. I read all the websites and look for all the information but still this book has succeeded in blowing my mind in finding out new information about Pokemon and this game in general that I had not known. All and all, for the price there is no reason to not purchase this. For any true Pokemon fan this is the perfect guide.I would have rated a five except for the no pokedex thing in the back. For a collectors edition you'd think it would be included, as well as the 'poster' I'm not really sure if I would call something the size of a sheet of notebook paper a poster. ^^;As for what I liked about it: The interviews at the beginning with Pokemon's creators were very nice and quite in depth. I found out a few little tidbits I didn't know before. The cover of the book has this sleek, glossy removable picture of the two forms of the legendary in the game. The picture it shows here is just if you pull the removable cover off. The concept art was very nice too, though a little shorter then I'd have liked. It was still quite nice.Overall though I am quite pleased with this guide.This guide has everything you need to beat the game and explore every part of Unova!Pros-Step-by-step guide to completing the entire game and capturing all the legendarys, even far beyond the elite 4Maps for every part of the gameTells you how to finish the Unova Pokedex (what routes pokemon are on)Guides on how to beat every Gym leader, Boss, Elite 4 and Champion, even Pokemon World Tournament leaders (weaknesses and more)A nice small poster with Unova and a weakness-resistance chart on the backBreeding guide with egg groups and explains egg moves, etc.How to complete Pokestar studiosAmazing artwork of all the charactersExplains natures of PokemonCons-Some items were left off the maps, so make sure to keep your dowsing machine on just in case.Great guide, and I would recommend this to everyone who hasn't completed the full game yet or has just purchased it.Pokemon Black/White 2 Guide Book.I bought the guide book so i dont miss any of the items and pokemons while playing the game, a surprise hit me in the face while i was reading the walkthrough and theres grottoes in this one and thats a great twist in the game but the only thing the guide book was missing was the pokemon evolution guide, but then i found out that they separated the pokedex (pokemon evolution guide) from the Guide book unlike previous game guide books. Thats the only complaint I have about this guide book.The book looks pretty worn and dirty considering its a hardback. There's spots on it and the pages look like they've been wet. The box looked like it had been open before, or at least the tape had ripped and the box wasn't in the best condition either.This is the collectors strategy guide. The quality is high with a nice binding and thick paper. Only reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is it is just the strategy guide. The previous collectors edition for Pokemon Black and White has the strategy guide and national pokedex in one. The one for version 2 is not coming out until November 19th and it is just a regular guide, not collectors. It wold have been nice if they just packaged them both like last time. Would have made a nice set.Pokemon is one of the best series ever greated and it still is but i wish this guide included a picture of the normal verison guide cause that picture was much better then the 2 picture this has yes this has 2 picture the one u see and one over it u can remove that is kyurem white and kyurem black fighting without animation on it as u move it around.Great product really badly packaged for a book and has damaged cornerConfusing at times in the layout and content, but ultimately a good book and has all information I need.Awesome book, details everything you need for Pokemon Black Version 2 & Pokemon White Version 2! :-) For the complete collection you should also pick up Pokemon Black Version 2 & White Version 2: The Official National Pokedex & Guide Volume 2.This book is awesome though, hardcover with a cool interview with the creators & some awesome concept art and extremely well detailed! :-)I like game guides, there's always been something cool about owning a videogame guide I think, even tough most of the info is on the internet, it's cool to put a guide in a bag when going out of town. This guide is by far the most quality one I have ever seen. Every page is really colorful, with high quality glass paper, and there is a lot of cool drawings and arts. No compromise were made to try to save cost on pages, a lot of pages just have drawings for sheer pleasure.Now obviously since this is Pokemon, it is written to be accessible for kids as well (shame on me for being 31 and loving this game), but the info are really relevant and this guide shows how deep this game can be.Absolutely recommend it for collection purpose if nothing else.I am always impressed with these guides. Jam packed full of information. It's a shame they don't go into extreme detail when it comes to EV training but wow! There are so many things that unlock after different events in previous towns that offer nice rewards that you would not know other wise without going back and talking to everyone again.Also lists all on N's released Pokemon and the maps that they are on. Who knew?
