Book Reviews of The Official Pokemon Handbook (Pokémon)

Book Review: Wonderful Pictures and Great Stats for Every Pkmn!
Summary: 5 Stars

This Handbook is all I'll ever need when it comes to looking up a specific Pkmn. The top ten ways to take care of your Pkmn (Pokemon),FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) and Check list at the end of the book are a nice touch. The begining of the book is awsome too. The cover of the book seems to attract many different ages of people to it. There is one thing about it - it doesn't have Mew, of course it might be before Mew's time or Maria S. Barbo may have only wanted the original Pkmn in it - the 150 characters. The only thing I'd change would be to put more stuff in the ending pages. Oh, and I love the pic. at the end of the book! Anyways, I rate The Official Pokemon Handbook like so : * * * * * - Five Stars!!!

Totally Wonderful Work, Maria S. Barbo! It's a great buy! - NavyBlu :)

Summary of The Official Pokemon Handbook (Pokémon)

It's the video game, TV cartoon, and collectible toys that have the whole world going Pokemon crazy. If you're caught up in the Pokemon phenomenon, you gotta, gotta, gotta get the inside guide to each and every one of these megapopular pocket pals.
-- They're all here! -- From Pikachu to Pidgeotto, Squirtle to Snorlax, Charmander to Caterpie.
-- Complete with every stat -- Who they'll blow away in battle, their techniques, evolutionary style, and more.
-- Secret facts -- Did you know that the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach changes direction when it evolves into Poliwag? Lots more inside info!
-- Training tips -- Let a weaker Pokemon start a battle and then switch to another before it gets hurt. This is a quick way to build up a Pokemon's experience level.

It's everything you need to become the coolest Pokemon trainer, or the world's greatest Pokemon master!

Zen masters never said, "You must learn as much as you can about your Pokémon," but Professor Oak certainly did. The grand teacher of Pokémon introduces this handy book about the Japanese craze that took over America in the form of a video game, trading cards, and a popular TV show. The handbook--written as if the young reader were a Pokémon trainer like Ash, Misty, and Brock--teaches kids which cards are the best to win a game and illuminates the stories behind the TV show. Geared to young readers, this engaging, colorful book is not for the Pokémon expert who has copious spreadsheets of statistics. You'll find fun facts about each Pokémon (Charmander is two feet tall and its element is fire, in case you didn't know), a clear guide to the evolution of certain characters, and a helpful pronunciation guide (great for parents). The book could have used a pictorial index of all 150 characters, but that won't stop fans from wearing out this handbook during their adventures as a Pokémon trainer. --Doug Thomas
