Pokemon Diamond & Pearl (Prima Official Game Guide) Reviews
as well as a couple of cool mythical pokemon. I bought this game with the hope that they had done away with some of the overly childish and frankly lame additions that were included in the emerald and ruby versions i.e. and taking them for walks in a park(couldn't make this up) and baking(baking.yeah that's what I thought too.). But overall, unless you wish you could dress up your pokemon or bake some poffins with your friends on wifi than I would suggest that this game isn't for you
They should have stuck with what they had going good with gold and silver. Now it's all about dressing up your pokemon(seriously). they have added in a lot of pokemon that are about as intimidating as a newborn kitten. These games are getting further and further away from what they were originally, Battling cool looking monsters and becoming the strongest trainer the world has ever seen.
those games simply added to the strategies possible and made battling monsters that much more exciting. I feel like less of a man for playing this. Granted there are some cool additions, like the underground were you can go hunt for burried treasure and find fossils and stones and acient plates ect. the pokemon contests for instance.
I give it two stars because it told me where to go at one point where i was really stuck. This guide is bad and lacks much information in the maps, they should've made it as good as the nintendo power version or not at all. Buy the NP version.
It would tell you what TMs that pokemon could learn and all that. It basically just showes the pokemon and what page # to find them on. The other main reason I bought this book was because it said that it had a full pokedex. It makes it really confusing use it when they are all put in sequence of town when you arent really doing anything in that town until later and then later it doesnt show up you have to look back and figure out where you need to go from there.
I loved the good old days when a pokedex ment you knew the pokemons evolution levels and what level they would gain a new move. I would try nintendo power guides instead. And that doesnt help either because it doesnt really tell you much about them on those pages either.
So in my opinion this guide is somewhat usable but very confusing and doesnt give the right information. This guide is not for you if that is what you are looking for. Ok, I bought this guide and while it does tell you where to go and how to do things it is kind of hard to understand because you go back and forth between the towns in some parts of the game.
I would never have beat the game without this guide. Many are out of order and some events should be listed toward the end of the book, such as "Unfinished Business". The bad things are that the pokemon trainers and their pokemon are not listed and the order of events are way too confusing. The good thing about this guide is that it tells you what to do. It also has tons of stuff in the back of the book like contests and where to find all items, HMs and TMs. Overall: OK
It is vague and the page order doesn't exactly follow story order. The only benefit of using this guide is that it's portable. Instead it focuses on general aspects of the storyline, contests, battling, and other parts of the game that are explained IN THE GAME. If you get stuck in these games, instead of wasting your money on this vague and confusing guide, go to Google and search for "Pokemon Diamond Walkthrough" There is no reason to buy this book, instead, buy the second volume/pokedex of the guide. The guide doesn't give any pokedex info, which IMO is the most important part of the game.
