It's still a good book even 2 years later

This is a really good book. People shouldn't get mad at it because at the time the ruby and sapphire versions weren't out and Pokemon Stadium 2 wasn't out yet either--they aren't in the book. New versions and new games are always being made. But for those playing the Gold or Silver versions or the first Pokemon Stadium, I highly recommend that you buy this book. I found the reviews helpful, and it had lots of facts about glitches that I never knew about. I hope a sequal to the series (How to become a Pokemon Master, Pokemon Fever) will come out so it will include the newer Pokemon versions and newer editions of the card game. But like I said, very good for the Gold and Silver versions (especially since it has a list of every Pokemon 1-251), and it also has a pretty good glossary for those who don't know a lot about Pokemon. This is at the top of the list in terms of good Pokemon books.

UNBELIEVABLE! This is the best Pokemon book EVER!

This book is INCREDIBLE! It tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about Pokemon! This book even has an entire chapter on Missigno, a glitch Pokemon which finally gets revealed in this book! If you want to become a Pokemon expert, read this book! This book has TONS of GREAT information on Pokemon, such as Pokemon puzzle leauge, Pokemon Stadium, the Gold and Silver versions, a list of every Pokemon, a complete unbelievably up-to-date glossary, a missingno chapter (as said before), and a "Hey you Pikachu" bonus at the end of the missigno chapter. That isn't all to this GREAT BOOK! There's also info on a new glitch called "Glitch City". I was AMAZED when I saw Glitch City on my Gameboy! Read this book and you will find out how to get Glitch City! Even more, there is an art page at the back of the book that allows you to draw your favorite Pokemon, and throughout the whole book are interviews from kids who know Pokemon best! I think "Pokemon Future" is the GREATEST POKEMON BOOK out there because it has so much information!! I think of all the Pokemon books out there, this is the one to choose!

WOW! Finally, a book about the future of Pokemon!

There are so many other Pokemon books that describe things about Pokemon that are out of date or when the Pokemon craze began (when there wasn't much to say), but this book DOES describe the new world of Pokemon! For example, the gold and silver versions are included in the book and so is a full descrition of Missingno. (just what I wanted!) I also like the way the book's cover and design look like the future! Since the craze of Pokemon is going away, this is pretty much one of the most updated Pokemon books!

This is a SPECTACULAR Pokemon book!

"Pokemon Future" is definatley the best choice for someone that wants to buy a Pokemon book! The tips in this book are AWESOME! The fact that kids interview into the book is GREAT (it helps me understand the chapters better). If you like Pokemon, then this book is the book for you!

EXCELLENT TIPS ON POKEMON! IT HAS INFORMATION ON MISSINGNO.!

Missingno. is a secret Pokemon. It is a glitch. I had known things on this niffty Pokemon, but I didn't know ceritain things. For instance, I found out the Missingno. is #000, It's name means Missing Number, It's type is bird, it can be traded intot he Yellow Version, etc... I really like this enthusiasim on this great Pokemon! I also like the "HEY YOU PICKACHU" bonus at the end of the chapter. Another thing I liked was a brand new code called Glitch City which I had never heard of before. I liked the glossary, because it had Mew in it. Finally, I liked the tips on the Gold and Silver, Pokemon Staduim, Pokemon Puzzle Leauge, etc... Anyhow, this book is AWESOME, EXCELLENT, GREAT, and just plain UNBELIVEBLE. On a scale from 1 to 10, my Pokemon knowledge was a 4 and after reading this book it became an 11. And, If I could, I'd give this book 6 STARS!P.S. I also liked the "Draw Your own Pokemon Art Page" At the end of the book.
