Official Kalos Pokedex launches
...but apparently only for 24 hours and that's it! ;-) http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/calendar/#/1/e44b9061-fbd5-4a35-a23c-ac427413d34d
So, a HUGE complaint I had with the "official Pokemon X and Y strategy guide" was that it had no pokedex in it. During the Hoenn days all the strategy guides release by Nintendo all had the obtainable pokemon in the back of the guide plus all their learnable moves (via move tutor, breeding, level up and so on) so is that what this guide would be? And if so, does anyone know if it will have all the pokemon in it, or just the ones obtainable within Kalos? Or has no one heard anything about it until the GL site posted it's existence? |
seems pointless buying a book pokedex when there's sites like Bulbapedia with all the info you need, it's more interactive with all the info you need with just a simple mouse click... and then there's sites like smogon to tell you what you should teach them and how to train them to be efficient killing machines, which the book pokedex falls short.
So unless you're buying it solely for collecting purposes.. it's a pointless buy otherwise in my personal opinion. but then again it's only $15 preorder on amazon.com, release date Feb 4th. So not too expensive for a 736 page book. Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: The Official Kalos Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide: The Official Pokémon Strategy Guide • Crucial data on more than 450 Pokémon, including their moves, locations, stats, and Evolutions! • Detailed guides on Pokémon Eggs and how to find all Kalos region Pokémon! • Lists of all TMs, HMs, items, Berries, and Mega Stones—including where to find them! • Extra tips and hints for your adventures after the Hall of Fame! • A poster of the Kalos region Pokémon! |
I think they're trying to make this go around a little more challenging!
However, I bet soon enough, someone will complete it and leak it out. |

But anyway, back to the point, the thread wasn't about whether the book was necessary or not (by the logic of "it's pointless because the information is available on the internet" we should just have public book burnings because ALL books are useless thanks to the internet) it was Quote:

Regardless if Smogon bans moves, or pokemon i.e. blaziken. that doesn't mean they don't have a page for that pokemon showing you exactly what strategies, moves, and EVs to train/teach it.. I meant use smogon as a guide, not use it to join competition battles.
for example: Dark Void is a 100% banned move for Darkrai not only on smogon, but also at official gamefreak/nintendo pokemon competitions, but yet they still list it as the #1 move to teach Darkrai. Even more recently they Banned Mega Kangastan, yet under their X&Y strategies, they have Kangastan holding it's Kangaskhanite. |

Anyway, the amazon description answered everything you asked, there are only 400-500 pokemon in X and Y so that would be Kalos only info in the book. |
Quote:
At just 454 Pokemon in the 3 Kalos pokedexes total.. this means this pokedex book probably wont even have info on X&Y Friend Safari Pokemon or else it would say nearly 600 pokemon. As there's an additional 139 Pokemon to be had from the safari. and probably wont even have info on Torchic>Blaziken as it's not Kalos.. |
Waste of money unless your a hardcore collector Imo
