Makes sense seeing how there are 4 Johto guides. But somethings come off as odd:
Azelf and Phione? THE HELL? I mean sure they could be random Pokemon but this seems to have everything Post E4.
Both the Lati's appear so I guess the quest for the Enigma crystal will be solved.
I hope something is said for the rock capsule.

Doubt it, official guides rarely touch on items that aren't legally available.
Heck, I'd be surprised if they actually touched on the Broken Radio.

So, Shogakukan et al... when would we be getting a compiled, complete guide?
Like the phonebook they released for Platinum?

It probably comes off as just random Pokémon appearing on the cover of the first guide. If you look you'll see a dozen other Pokémon such as Beautifly and more there, but they have no importance the game as the others would. So, I'd expect them to just be randomly placed on the cover rather than having any importance the the game.

This is the completed guide, all four books. There won't be one specific book for the game this time around like what was done for previous games such as Platinum. It is covering both regions of the game seperately as well as the different aspects of the game included.

Nice, that art looks really cool. Still not loving the eye style on a lot of them, but apart from that, they look really good.

The Kanto artwork for the Gym Leaders are really well done. The ones that stand out the most for me would be Green, Sabrina, and Lt. Surge. I like their new look, posture, and compared to their original, it's a great improvement. Sabrina's new look is out stands out the most though, but I can say she changed for the better, making her look a lot stronger than before.

I don't think I can really say anything bad that I don't like to be honest. I'm sure with a clearer image later on I'll be able to see things with full detail, but for now, no complaints yet.

Ahh did anybody notice Misty's new clothes?
Ahh Modern Media, where even Cartoon Girls can't show skin anymore...
Damn You morals.
Well maybe that offers up why they changed the herione sprite.

Sabrina standing right next to her would like to disagree.

I really like what they did with Blue/Green though.

From what I've heard he didn't get any art, or leastways not in that guide. Although that does tie in with the fact he has no VS banner in the game as well (I like how instead they went with the nostalgic Pokeball emblem done old-style akin to GSC, admittedly).

The art looks pretty good, and generally shows how much they've changed look-wise, or leastways some of them. Misty's face there though looks...well, overly-happy? Kinda hyper. 'I'M A GYM LEADER! =D' Kinda sticks out, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing - amusement can be good. XD

I noticed Misty looking extremely happy/excited especially compared to Sabrina. (The personality of Misty's artwork matches her animation, though.) I think her being super happy is because she has a boyfriend now. (who appears to be shy.) =D (I mean, she was on a date before battling you.) Her new look is cool. I like her hair.

They don't need to redo Red's artwork, seeing as how his outfit is exactly the same as it was in FrLg. XD I like the nostalgic pokeball emblem before battle.

I wouldn't be surprised if I ran into Blaine in Las Vegas hittin' the slots.
Lt. Surge finally looks awesome (by my standards).
Gary looks adorable. <3
Brock looks cute.
Janine and Sabrina look cool. (Sabrina's gym is awesome.)
Erika looks so innocent. Her dress is pretty. I like the flowers on it.

[/my opinion]

Each Gym Leader with their new art work gained a sense of personality in their look. I guess saying Misty looks overly excited because she has a new boyfriend makes a good excuse for her look, adds a bit of side story to it. However, even though Red remains the same as he was in FRLG, it would have been nice for a new art work seeing as he plays a major part in teh game, the official ending that is.

One thing I can say about some of the Gym Leaders is that they do look older compared to before, which makes an improvement as it really shows a three year difference since Kanto's events to Johto's.

I'm really not fussed on Misty's new hairdo. It looks... Kinda like Morty? But her new outfit is nicer.

Green/Blue/Gary (whatever he's called o.o) looks so much win, love the outfit.

And Koga, surprisingly, looks really cool too.

Please don't bump old threads.

I don't believe this guide in question had it, but there may have been another one...? But ask yaminokame via vm/pm rather than here.

Closed.
