Then go play the game?
IMO, having every single aspect of the game revealed to you before you even play it... ruins the game experience. Seriously.
The reason why those two sites are good is it gives you enough info, but it doesn't actually spoil the experience.
The PRIMA guides are totally filled with spoilers and all that junk, and yet they don't tell you how to EV train, how to have the optimal team, how to succeed at breeding the right IVs etc, so just use those two websites.
^^
No, Im talking about gym leader SUGAMORI ART! Also the full maps because the 3-D models are a pain to keep track of and stuff and the guides have 2-D versions.
Marriland are up to the Elite 4 now, and you can probably see a full walkthrough (in different parts) on youtube, I saw one (can't remember who by) and it was great quality.
Regardless of whether people want it or not, it does bring about new info here and there - for instance the pokethlon stats for Pokemon seemingly can vary based on natures, and on a day to day basis.
Yep, it came with a little poster of all gym leader art (near their gyms) + Lance and then a complete 2d map of all the routes :P On the back it has 2d maps of all caves/etc. too ^^
