This is no Prima guide
I have to say the Prima Guide for Ace Combat 4 was far superior!Brady Games does a fairly good job overall, however, the Prima Guide was much more specific in regards to what you have to do to achieve the "S" rankings and unlocking everything on each level.My advice is pretty simple...Save your money, look the stuff up online and print it out.You'll be better off hearing what people have done, and the methods they use to get the highest rankings and how they unlocked everything.

Ace Combat 5 Strategy Guide
This strategy guide is so much more imformative than ace 4's was.This strategy guide list all 50 planes and special weapons.It even tells you which wing formation to pick for your wingmen and also how much each plane is once it is shot down.It also gives you pictures of the 4 characters you will be flying with and of course it has pictures of every level.In the secrets section it even tells you were the enemy painted planes are on each level after you finish so you can shoot it down and put it in your hanger.It also list all other bonuses too.This is a must have if you are playing ace combat 5. ...

Editorial Review

Zen masters never said, "You must learn as much as you canabout your Pokémon," but Professor Oak certainly did. The grand teacher ofPokémon introduces this handy book about the Japanese craze that took overAmerica 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 trainerlike Ash, Misty, and Brock--teaches kids which cards are the best to win a gameand illuminates the stories behind the TV show. Geared to young readers,this engaging, colorful book is not for the Pokémon expert who hascopious spreadsheets of statistics. You'll find fun facts about eachPokémon (Charmander is two feet tall and its element is fire, in case youdidn't know), a clear guide to the evolution of certain characters, and ahelpful 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 Pokémontrainer. Read more

awsome
I thought this book was very well written and showed the specific points on each individual pokemon. They should come out with another book thats all about the old pokemon. Pokemon are aseome and I LOVE THEM with all my heart. When I grow up I want to be a pokemon. I will probily be zappdos so I can fly around and zap people and KILL THEM with my aseome pokemon powers.

a really great book
well at first my mom did'nt have any way for me to read but then I went to my friend aaron and serinas house and I liked it so I asked them politley if I could have it and they kindly said back "yes" so like a year later every night I would sit down before bed and read untill I got to tired to read anymore.my mom and dad were so proud of me that sometimes I would read some pages to them to dad said "wonderful" mom said "great" so from then on I read so much that my pokemon knowledge went up to like 100'000'000'000' and even more than that.note:I like to call serina sabrina thats how much of a pokemon fan I am.gotta catch em' all.

Not enough Information.
This book doesn't have enough information and is incomplete. It is missing over 100 Pokemon-- That's a lot of Pokemon missing! Even the other revised "Official Pokemon Handbook" is missing 99 of the Pokemon -- not much of a difference! I recommend just going to a whole other series that has a COMPLETE list of all 251 pokemon. Also, this book has NO information on the gold and silver versions! I like Pokemon and have a Pokemon Silver and think there should be a new version of the book (if this series is going to do something), but that probably won't happen because the Pokemon craze has basically ended. I went to another book that had a list of all 251 Pokemon and now I have 245 of the 251 Pokemon in the Silver version for Gameboy Color. The book has nice pictures of the original Pokemon, but it's nothing with out the additional 100 Pokemon. ... Read more

What?! $10 and nothing on AAML?!
I bought this book and read through it, and noticed a couple of errors. For one thing, Misty is NOT after Ash because of her (busted) bike. EVERYBODY knows why she's following Ash - she's in love with him! I'll bet even Cranky Kong knows!Read more

Nothing much.
This book does not include much games, nor does each games have much secret. Example, it does not have any codes for GameCube's Pokemon Colosseum, which is a popular game. And for the Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, it just tells you how to activate the Mistery Event, which is of not much use and most Pokemon FR/LG owner already knows. ... Read more

Great Tips to help you become a master!!!
This was a great book! It had great tips on the Red and Blue versions! (Since this book was made at the beginning of the Pokemon phenomenon it'll be mostly aimed at the Red & Blue.) Still, this book is a great buy! It has reviews from kids back when they were among the first to know about Pokemon! I also recommend buying "Pokemon Fever" and "Pokemon Future"-- they are sequals (Pokemon Future unlocks the secrets of the glitch Pokemon Missingno and Glitch City, incase you are interested.)

Probably the BEST Pokemon book around!
I have this book and I must say I loved reading it. I actually took timeout from playing video games and watching TV to read this book. You can'thelp but smile at the cute jokes scattered in the book. This book hasseveral things other Pokemon books don't have, reviews and tips straightfrom kids who play Pokemon all the time. If you're looking for a book tobuy your kids on Pokemon, look no further. This book also gives reviews onother great games for children and explains in a very unsuspecting mannerthat children should also help out with chores, read more often and otherthings. This book has no flaws except a few errors with what Pokemon arefound in which game. This is a book no one would regret buying.

Good book that kids will love
It was a good book,but I personally think it could've done with the puzzles.Otherwise,this book will keep kids entertained on long car rides or on rainy days.

Digimon digirocks!!!
I have to say digimon rock, because it does teach teamwork, and so does Pokemon(but not as much). I mean, would Tai or any of the others defeat Myotismon or The Dark Lords if they wouldn't of worked together. And that shows kids that if you work together then you can accomplish anything.

Digi-Know?! digimon rocks...
Digi-Know?! digimon rocks who ever thinks digimon is like pokemon is crazy.I'm a girl even I know the difference between pokemon and digimon.The kids in pokemon KNEW what to do.The kids in digimon was force to go to the digiworld.EXCITEMENT is writen all over it. ... Read more
