5th Gen Anyone got the Official Pokemon Black/White Guide?

[Sylveon]

I ordered mine on the morning Black/White came out in Europe. I have the HG/SS guide too. I love guides as they come in handy when you need to check up on a Pokemons stats, and if you need some help finding things etc.

Discuss -

Does anyone here think they'll be getting one?
Do you see any point in having one?
You think it will help you?

I preordered the colecters one when i preordered the game. That version has the pokedex in it

 

[Ho-Oh]

I dunno, I don't really see the point when the info is online, though the fact that it's collectors edition, idk. Most likely I probably won't though. :(

Pretty much agree with this. Though, it's great as a piece of collectors item, though they tend to be pretty pricey.

 

[Pokegirlk]

It was $30 It was pricey but like i said it has the pokedex

 

[Sylveon]

Mine was only 10 pounds from Play.com.

I'm not going to be buying the guide until it has had a decent price drop. $38 is way tooo much for a guide, and $48 for the collector's edition makes me feel like I'm buying another video game.

Even including costs, I don't think I'd buy the guide. I already know most things about Pokemon as it is; and with the internet, there's not much reason to buy one anyway. :<

 

[Sylveon]

Can you not purchase from the UK? It is way cheaper over here :u

 

[Autaven]

I think the guide is good to have laying around if like your internet goes off, but otherwise everything is online so I wouldn't really see a point to be honest.

I can, but shipping costs might be a problem and I probably wouldn't see it for a few weeks to a month or two... plus I'm broke from pre-ordering pokemon black :P

My mate got the guide and when he got home and opened it, he saw there was no Pokedex in it, since it is only Volume 1, and Volume 2 will have the Pokedex in it!

I did laugh a lot. But, I won't be getting the guide, since I have the Internet, if I need to find something out.​

[Rensider]

Got the regular guide when I got the games. It's just a collector's item for me though.

 

[Eleken]

I mean everything useful (and more) is for free on internet:d.

 

[SilverCrown]

I bought the HGSS one when they came out, so will probably pick the B/W one up as well. There was quite a bit of helpful info in the HGSS one. :)

 

[Guy]

Probably not. I prefer finding my way through the game on my own. Plus, it's not like I'll actually be using it in the first place. To be honest, I never really see the point in spending so much money for guidebooks, other than them being a collector's item, when I can find the information I might be looking for online. :\

HA, what a joke! Definitely not getting it then. I would get it solely for the Pokedex... come to think of it, I haven't even gotten one of these guides since Crystal came out. This Volume 1 and 2 thing has been going on since when? 4th gen?

 

[Kevin]

I never get them. I like to find my way around the game by myself.

 

[Nameless.]

Guidebooks are fun to read through, mainly for the bits of trivia they throw here and there.
However, I will not be getting the guidebook! I'm lucky to even get the game at all this time around. Money is the root of all evils. ;O;
