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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Pokemafia April 28th, 2010 11:31 AM

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

TapouT April 28th, 2010 12:00 PM

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

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

Please don't revive threads over a month old. If you want to discuss getting the HG/SS Guide Book for Johto, then you can remake a new thread for it. =]
