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

Which is why I'm going to be getting the strategy guide. Probably not the current one (if it does only go up to Johto), but the one that's released at a later date. I won't use it all the time, but only when I'm completely stuck. I would use the Internet, but I'm not one to be playing my DS while sitting in front of a computer. Just never was something I could do. Besides, the book I can take with me if I go outside or have sitting on my lap if I'm away from the computer. And, well, the pretty pretty pictures. Give me maps of the regions, please. What's with my srs business posts to threads like this? |
I know the internet has its wonders, but having a guide with all that good information at your fingertips might be too much to pass up for me ;)
|
Nope , no startegy guide for me ....
First , it is not getting imported to Romania . Secondly , it's called www.gamefaqs.com and it's got all you need ! |
plus, if you have DSI whats the point of a guide when you can just go online and check
|
I'll most likely get the one that comes out next month.
|
It's not like I really need a strategy guide, but I'll probably get it anyways since I love them. *__*

My gamestop opens at 8 i asked the guy in the store yesterday when i put money down on the strategy guide!!!!!!! |
I wasn't planning to get it, but I ended up trading games in to pay off my preorder and got a whole lot more credit than I was expecting. My manager persuaded me into getting the books. The strategy guide is tiding me over until I get the Pokedex and/or game.

My initial playthrough will be guide-less. When I give my brother his game (and restart mine), I'll get it for him. It's a good alternative for having to open up Bulbapedia everytime you want to check where to get something or to see something's movepool.
|
Hm... I've got two questions before I make my decision:
1) Does it cost more than $15.00? Because that's all I'm going to have left over after I buy Soul Silver. 2) Is it worth the effort? Or is it just a bunch of pictures and moveset suggestions, or some other such nonsense? |

Might aswell, makes more sense than having to look it up online every time. |

Pokemon HeartGold & Soul Silver Official Strategy Guide. Gamestop/EB tend to have the higher prices ranges though, so I guess it's possible that you'll be able to find it slightly cheaper at another store. Handbooks generally only have the set price though, as far as I've seen. 2) I've read up to the Johto walkthrough in my handbook (and a few pages of that) and so far it seems to be pretty interesting. The Kanto walkthrough isn't included, though, which is a bit of a downside (supposedly it's included in the Pokedex, although I can't confirm that). |
I beat the Japanese SoulSilver without a guide, so why would I need one for English? Besides, with internet guides up nowdays, strategy guides are near obsolete. Not saying they're not handy though. I still buy a few, only if I need a map of a side area. But hey, you can even find those via internet. Meh.

if I get stuck, I will switch on my laptop then go to gamefaqs.
|
yeah the guide is really helpful
|
Probably not, I'll probably just go online if I get stuck.

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. |
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.

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