I purchased this for my child who is a Pokemon fan. He loves this handbook because it shows all the Pokemons from the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos regions. This handbook is very colorful and gives you stats on the different Pokemons. It shows what each Pokemon can evolve into. It tells you how to pronounce each Pokemon, as well. Also, it even shows you their new power called Mega Evolution. Great purchase for my little Pokemon fan!
So upon looking through every single Pokemon, we noticed that where a picture of Spearow should have been, they put a picture of Fearow! So I went back to see what picture was in place of Fearow to see if they accidentally switched the photos, but alas, they just apparently hate Spearow and put a picture of Fearow in place of both pictures. But that's apparently all that's wrong with it. Good thing I'm not a huge fan of either of those Pokemon.
Wow! So much information on the world of Pokemon.This is must for noobs! Both of my children ages 5 & 8 are new to but dearly love Pokemon! This book is not only helping them, it also is helping me learn what they are talking about! There are over 700 Pokemon to learn about in this one book! It is a being used daily in our house.This book starts with the basics you will learn the following about each character in the book.What is the nameHow to pronounce the nameHeight & WeightPossible movesDescriptionEvolutionMega EvolutionTypeRegion
I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled this out of the box! It is so much nicer than I had expected it to be. I thought for the price I'd be getting a thin little book with a few Pokemon in it. What I got was a nice, thick, book full of good quality pages listing tons of different Pokemon. The layout of the pages is perfect, nicely organized and easy to use as a reference or for younger kids who are still getting the hang of reading. Great price on this! A must buy for any special Pokemon fans in your life. The excitement on my daughter's face when she saw it said it all. Highly recommended!
I bought his for my 7 year old. She hasn't put it down. Actually unless you want to scold your kid for hiding it in their backpack to take to school or sneaking it to bed to study the different characters, don't buy it! I let her pick any special book she wanted as she has tons and she wanted this as she collects the cards too. I would call it a winner.
My son loves this book. It contains all sorts of bits and pieces about the Pokemon characters. I don't think it really helps in anyway with actually playing the game, but it's a nice addition to any Pokemon fan's collection.I should read this book myself and increase my knowledge of Pokemon, that way when my son is talking to me about it I won't think he's speaking Greek (which wouldn't be a problem if I'm Greek, but I'm not). Hmmm, do you think citizens of Greece have a similar saying, like "That guy was talking to me about rocket science but it all sounded like to me"? If you're Greek, please leave a comment, I'd really like to know.And if you are Greek, you'll be happy to know that your child will love this book if you get it for them.I've read other reviews saying the book will start to fall apart quickly, but my son hasn't abused his enough yet. I'm sure after a few trips in his backpack time will tell. I'll post a follow-up review and let you know.***UPDATE 2/26/2016***I'm happy to report that after hauling this thing around in his backpack since Christmas, this book is still holding together very well. No pages have fallen out, the spine isn't broken, the cover is still intact, etc... This book still gets frequent use, because my son tries to convince me daily that reading this should count toward his 30 minutes-of-reading-at-home requirement.
PERFECT for the pokemon lover. This has settled many a debate and has led to an added amount of knowledge of the pokemon universe. Although it does not have a page on every single pokemon, it seems that it at least pictures them with their variation. My Sons and husband Love this book and refer to it. Good to get the kids to read some more for fun as well.
The book itself is awesome and my Pokemon loving kids have really enjoyed going through it, but pages started falling out the day after we received it. After that it seemed to be a waterfall effect. Now the first 30 pages of the book are tucked loose in the front and some have been lost. I wish they would make a hardcover version!Also of note is the book is alphabetized so if you don't know the name if the pokemon character get ready to start flipping through pages.
