    I saw Platinum's Official Guide when I went to pick my copy of Platinum up at Best Buy today, too. It was really surprising, epically considering how small the text was. :cer_eek: I didn't buy it because I'm saving up for a new DS, and I still need about $60. Also, yes, I did get the Giratina figure. It took a bit of arguing, but I still got it. :cer_tongue:

    You had to argue? What for? The guy at GameStop just gave it to me.

    And regarding some earlier comments... The Giratina figure is awesome, even though its small. But, what can you expect from it being free and all? :D

    I cannot believe how much info is packed into that book. It's crazy! I'm really glad I have it, though, just because I don't think I'll ever use Seribii or Marriland again...

    Hah, just kidding. :P

    I picked the guide up and decided that if need be I could hit someone in the head hard enough and kill them... They took the guide from me until I was done shopping, after the asked me five times if I was sure I was going to buy it. The guy was like " are you sure your going to buy it and not hit your friend in the head?" I gave him this look, and then told him, I just bought it now I can us it as a blunt as much as I want.

    Eexcuse the the whole blunt thing, I ment blunt object. I'm on a cell phone, so my editing skills suck.

    Okay, so I went to GameStop yesterday to pick up my Platinum. I had brought $40.00 with me just in case, but I had two DS games I was turning in and an EdgeCard with money on it so I didn't think I would need it...

    Then I saw Platinum's Official Guide, and I was OMFG that is HUGE! Who agrees?

    I bought it anyway. :D

    Also, as a side topic, who else got the weird little Giratina (Origin Forme) figurine free with the Platinum game? I thought that was pretty awesome.

    Anyway, discuss.

    This guide is indeed quite big... with a multicolor cover and very decorative pages. I decided to get it, though I don't think it's quite as cool as Phantom Hourglass's Hardcover guide book.

    I felt like such a geek putting that beast on the counter. It's not as helpful as I'd hoped either.

    Ah well. It's still a nice reference to have.

    not helpful? Of course it is helpful! It gives you hints to go in a certain building and maybe get an item you might not have gotten before. The book is amazing.

    Well yeah, in that sense. I really used the wrong words.

    I was talking more about having trainer line-ups. I wasn't expecting it, but the last time I had gotten a guide (Second Gen), it had every trainer's Pokemon. My friend informs me that none of the third gen guides had this feature either, and it's not a big deal.

    Just something I missed.

    Haha, I have about the same response as everyone.

    When I first bought the game though, I turned the guy down on the guide.
    The next day though I went back with a friend for him to pick up his copy and I saw that guide and I was like O.o!!!!! I thought it was a box that came with the game and a whole freaking load of things..
    Needless to say I'm very much enjoying it! No more looking on the internet :)

    Yeah, I had to argue with the clerk at Best Buy. When she first gave me only the game, I told her I was supposed to get the Giratina figure with it. She said that they didn't have any left, but, when I looked in the back of the store (where the video games are located), there were tons of extras. After a couple minutes of fighting, she finally checked the computer again and there was a Giratina figure reserved under my name the whole time. :cer_shifty: By the way, the Giratina figure wasn't free. The $5 you had to pay to reserve the game was basically paying for the figure.

    That thing looks like the phone book for my home town O.o

    ...Man, now I wish I didn't have to wait another three weeks to buy Platinum. Gah, my boss needs to stop giving away my shifts.

    I wanted to guide, but the place my grandma went to when she bought the game doesn't carry the guide books anymore, so I didn't get it. I have the little figurine though and the new ds holder.

    I saw it. It WAS HUGE! xD. I didnt get Platinum, but I did go to Gamestop a while ago. xD. What is exactly in it! It seems to big to be just a guide for a game! xD (Then again, PKMN is VERY popular.) xD
