Customer Reviews

It must be great

My grandson is reading/looking at it constantly so it must be an appreciated item by a 7 year old pokeman fan.

Quick Shipping!

Product was just as depicted, and the shipping was FAST! THANKS! And my nephew loves it

Informative And Great

This pokemon pokedex is great. It shows the average stats of a pokemon and the post elite four walkthrough. It has a detailed map and art map of the sinnoh region. It shows all the moves the pokemon can learn and when it learns it. It shows the TM and HM moves it can learn also. To find the pokemon you have to use the back of the pullout map. Many people complain about it but it is easy. The pokedex does go in numerical order.

the Pokedex of Choice

The pokedex has all the casual gamer searches for in a guide: the final part of the walkthrough (post elite 4) including strategies on catching the legendary pokemon left in the end, as well as where to go what to do and what items are in the final section of the game; Afterwards is a basic run of the mill pokedex. First of all let me adress an issue many of the other have gotten wrong, this guide does bring: -- A COMPLETE SECION OF POKEMON ABILITIES, -- COMPLETE ITEM LIST (INCLUDING HEALTH. BATTLE, CONTEST EQUIVALENT, AND CONTEST ONLY) and WHERE TO GET EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. -- A POSTER WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE LOCATIONS OF ALL POKEMON AVAILABLE IN DIAMOND/PEARL [map of shinnoh] -- A SMALL ADVANCED BATTLE TACTICS FOR THE BATTLE TOWER/WI-FI BATTLE BEGGINERS. -- SMALL GUIDE TO THE UNDERGROUND AND BATTLE TOWER so its NOT missing any information much like the oher reviews claim... its all there you justhave to look really. Now about the only thing that this guide lacks is a longer advanced battle section or maybe recomendations for raising each individual pokemon (really how hard can it be to add a small section to each pokemon where they tell you the recomended natures that pokemon should have). It is nice though since it does bring all the pokemon (save the 3 as of et unreleased give away pokemon of D/P - Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus-) As well as a list of the moves they learn (egg or level) and TM and HM list. It does have small charts indicating the general look of a pokemon's base stats (although I think adding the actual numbers would have been MUCH less confusing) so that helps a small amount when building you team and looking at what nature your pokemon should have. In the end I would recomend this guide to most people who wish to have a quick reference of all pokemon and items. It wont give you a complete edge in battling but it will help. The casual gamer should get this as this does indeed help when going into the world of advanced battling.

Its a great book overall

I actually found everything I wanted from it. The beginning of the book tells you what you can do after you defeat the Elite 4 and become Champion including locations of other Pokemon that appear after obtaining the National Pokedex. Then it gives you detailed move descriptions from all 490 Pokemon. Lastly, it gives you a data section from every item to every move a Pokemon can do in the game. If your looking for Pokemon locations, that's what the Official Pokemon Diamond & Pearl Strategy Guide is for. In the back of that book, it tells you the locations of all the Pokemon located in the Sinnoh region. Overall, the Ultimate National Pokedex is a helpful book. I give it a great rating!!
