Reminiscence
Published by Patty , 2 months ago
I remember having this book all the way to my adulthood. It was in the best condition, a little folded/bent, but pristine and good. I wound up giving it away, along with my 150 original Pokémon cards and it was one of those worst decisions I regretted. Now I have the book again, although no cards, which I’m ok with. It was a part of my childhood that meant so much to me. I guess I thought I outgrew it, but no lol you can never fully outgrow something that made you feel so happy at one point. I’m glad mine came with the poster. The last page is a little falling out, but it’s very little. And there were checkmarks on the Pokémon checklist toward the back; thankfully it was only pencil. Overall, the book was in great condition, but I wouldn’t have called it “very good”.
I had it before when i was a kid and lost it a long time ago and finally have it back. Thank you ver

Mom's review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I got this book for my oldest son and he loves it. Each of the first 150 Pokemon are shown and described, in easy to understand language. It was so simple even *I* understood it! My son is 9 and he thought this book was perfect for what he wanted. His younger brothers (ages 5 and 2) also liked it, and my 2 year old can now name at least 75 Pokemon by sight as a result!I think it's a good, fun tool for the kids in that it develops their memory. Not only does it teach them the names of the Pokemon, but also their type and other information about them. I would recommend this book to any Pokemon enthusiast.
The best handbook that's chock full of Pokemon info
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Absolutely the best of the best. This book is amazing. Information on not only the first 150, but also includes Mew and Togepi. You wouldn't find any other handbook with THAT info. Speaking of which, the handbook had also told me Mew's Pokemon that he had the advantages and disadvantages on. It definitely helped me on beating the Elite Four after so much trouble that I had. It's a perfect handbook for when you're looking for Pokemon that you would use to battle, looking at stats for the monsters, or just wanting to read it for NAR (No apparent reason), it's the perfect book for any kind of trainer. Doesn't matter. And it also comes with a special pull-out poster which would be nice to have too. The best and MUCH better than the first one. Beat it by a mile or two.
Wonderful, and Complete Details on Pokemon!

I bought it for my children and almost wished I had one for myself! It gives you so much information on these cute little characters. It's very creative.
A Must Have Reference Guide for Kids and Adults.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This OFFICIAL Pokemon Handbook is a great reference guide to the wonderful world of "pocket monsters". It not only covers all the Pokemon including MEW and TOGEPI but also comes with a full color poster of the creatures too !! The author does a fine job of describing the characters, techniques and the essentials to raising a happy Pokemon. Fans of the Pokemon television show will appreciate the in depth look at the Pokemon Trainers like Ash/Brock, a complete listing of all eight Gym Leaders and their Pokemon not to mention how one gears up to join the Pokemon League. In short if you need to find out essential facts about each and every Pokemon available today or you're vaguely curious what a POKEMON is look no further because this is the resource manual to buy if you "gotta catch 'em all !".
