4th Gen So are you getting the Strategy Guide?

[Kikaito plush]

if I get stuck, I will switch on my laptop then go to gamefaqs.

 

[False Hope]

yeah the guide is really helpful

 

[mikey]

Probably not, I'll probably just go online if I get stuck.

 

[bluecat]

I want it, but the Johto/Knanto + National Dex Strategy Guide comes out next month, for the same price, I believe...

I don't think Johto Guide (although I'm sure the Pokedex is complete) is a part of the book that comes out next month. I got the book that came out today, and it says "Volume 1" on the spine. Plus on Amazon, it just says Kanto in the title. :/

When I play the games over the summer, I won't have internet. So I will

a) Download a GameFaqs guide and use it, and

b) Use my brother's copy of the guide since he WILL be getting it and use it for the maps. And the pretty pictures. And the witty content... oh, snap, I forgot, there is no witty commentary in NP/Prima guides...

c) Go based on my playthrough of Crystal last summer and how I still remember a good portion of it.

 

[Phantom Kat]

Nah. Even though I have multiple game guides (PMD: Blue and Red Rescue Team, PMD2: Explorers of Time and Darkness, and LoZ: Phantom Hourglass), I won't. I've only played like ten minutes of Crystal *gets stoned*, so I don't know the storyline. I can't wait to play through Soul Silver and enjoy the storyline. I'll only refer to the internet when I'm super stuck and to check where I can catch the Pokemon I want on my team.

[Dreadnought]

Yeah I picked up the guide as well as Heart Gold and loved the 10% off. I actually do use it since I haven't played G/S/C in such awhile I actually did forget somethings. XD

 

[harmonic ♫]

No, because the internet is free, except for the monthly part, so I'm not gonna waste an extra $20 because I'm cheap.

 

[Usagi-Chan~]

Do I need it? No
Do I want it? No
Did I get it? Yes
My mom picked it up for me with the Games because she knows how much stress I've been under lately~ :3

 

[Xadet]

I Went this morning at Noon when the Store opened, Was the first one to get it. And that was the first store to open that sold the game. :S
So i was prob one of the first in my city to get it.

Then i went back a little while after to Buy the book.
I Like to buy the book since well, I don't know, Like to overlook if i missed anything, and if i get bored i can look through the book since it shows minigames, and it also tells you things you can do if you havent already done so.

 

[jbs829]

strategy guides for any game are pretty much useless now a days, especially with the internet. the only time i ever got one was for the original red and blue because i was only 6 and had no idea how to use the internet

 

[Skystrike]

I will, just for a look-through!
But, seriously, I don't need it.

 

[Lady Gaga]

No, I already know this game inside out, and even though it is a great collector's item, I passed. I got the Ho-oh pre-order figure, however, so I am still satisfied ;3

 

[Heart's Soul]

I feel like I'm cheating whenever I use a strategy guide, the 96-page manual is enough for me. It's also really expensive.

 

[alphabetsoup102062]

I got the first one, but when I saw that it only had the first half in it I ordered the second one. Then I heard about pokedex apps, so I cancelled it.
I got the first one with my HeartGold if you were wondering.

 

[shookie]

I got the D/P strategy guide and used it on occasion, but it's much simpler to just search my issue on the internet than to look through the book. I'm obviously s.o.l. if my internet/power goes out, but it's not the end of the world.
I do think the Pokédex was the most useful "guide" I've bought in the past few years, especially if I'm traveling and get the sudden urge to draw a Pokémon but can't remember what exactly it looks like.

 

[Porygon Z]

Nope.
I use Serebii.net for every thing I need.

 

[Pokemafia]

I only got it because you get it half price with the game, for newbies it's actually quite good.

 

[TapouT]

I just either use neoseeker or gamefaqs or serebii. Would be WAY too embarrassed to go out and buy it anyways.

 

[Ian Watkins]

I played the original Gold, and the plot is the same so I know what I am doing. Besides, I still have my old magazine, which was a walkthrough, and as good as this guide crap. And it was only £3.50 xD
