REVIEW
Useless The only benefit of using this guide is that it's portable. It is vague and the page order doesn't exactly follow story order. The guide doesn't give any pokedex info, which IMO is the most important part of the game. Instead it focuses on general aspects of the storyline, contests, battling, and other parts of the game that are explained IN THE GAME.
There is no reason to buy this book, instead, buy the second volume/pokedex of the guide. If you get stuck in these games, instead of wasting your money on this vague and confusing guide, go to Google and search for "Pokemon Diamond Walkthrough"
The fourth generation of the franchise, Diamond and Pearl, debuted in Japan in 2006, and is the most successful Pok - mon release since the original series, selling more than 10 million video game units worldwide (and 3.4 million units in the U.S. since its 2007 debut).

REVIEW
Great reference At first when I bought this I thought it was going to just sit around, but as my son played through Pokemon Diamond he started referring to it more and more. The best description of it now is "very worn".
The fact that every pokemon is listed along with where it can be obtained is its best selling point. The book is really geared for after you've completed the game portion and are working on "catching them all".
You could probably find all of the information in this book online, but not in one location. Having it there to refer to while playing is easily worth the cost.
Covers less than 40% of the game It covers up to battles with Elite 4 and Champion. There is a lot more to exploreand catch after that. One could say that the game becomes more interesting after beating the champion. Get a lot more information from online guides. Search for "pokemon diamond faq" using google.
For the part it covers, the guide is reasonably well organized and helpful.
The manga series tie-in to the newest generation of the Pokémon collection!
Set in the country Sinnoh, the story follows the adventures of Hareta, a young boy raised in the wild with Pokémon. Recruited by Prof. Rowan, he decides to become a Pokémon trainer after catching his first tame one, Piplup. He and the Professor's assistant, Mitsumi, set off on a quest to find Dialga, one of the three "Legendary" Pokémon, which is rumored to be able to control time. But Team Galactic, lead by villainous Cyrus, is hunting for Dialga too.
REVIEW
Pokemon Although it's a manga series targeted for kids around 9 to 12, I actually enjoyed the panels and dialogue. Not to mention all the amazingly funny scenes there were. (Hareta biting the grunt's butt) This first volume definitely had me wanting more from this author. I can't wait for the third volume to come out!
Containing over 600 reusable, full-color stickers, this 96-page sticker collection includes all the PokŽmon found in the Sinnoh Region, some of which are featured in the hit TV series, "PokŽmon: Diamond and Pearl." Enter the land of Sinnoh, where you can visit old PokŽmon friends and meet new ones, and test your PokŽmon knowledge with an exclusive Evolutions section. Kids can organize their stickers by type with the fact boxes in the book, or use the extra easy-peel stickers to decorate their own folders.
REVIEW
Great for Poke'finatics! My son just loves this book. The stickers are removeable (great for unsteady hands that don't exactly stick things down right the first try). Much to our surprise, there are a lot of extra stickers too for him to stick everywhere. Nice price too.
The manga series tie-in to the newest generation of the Pokémon franchise.
New friends, new lands, and all-new Pokémon-the next chapter of one of the greatest adventures! Most kids spend their days at school, but not Hareta. Raised in the wild by Pokémon, he can climb as high as an Aipcom, swim as fast as a Magikarp, and even eat bark like a Bidoof!
Will Team Galactic's nefarious plans to capture Dialga succeed? Not if Hareta has anything to say about it!Cyrus, the brilliant and ruthless leader of Team Galactic, has set in motion his grand scheme to capture Dialga--a scheme with dire consequences for the land of Sinnoh. Hareta and his friends, together with several of Sinnoh's Gym Leaders, go all-out to put a stop to Cyrus and his minions. Things start getting tough, but the battle against Team Galactic gains a major new ally when Hareta befriends a mysterious and amazing Pokémon.

Not as good as the Prima guide in my opinion As stated in other reviews, this pokedex does not include information on where to get the pokemon on the pages. That information is found in Volume 1 - the game guide by Nintendo Power or on the back of the pullout map in this pokedex. I found flipping back and forth between the two books to be quite cumbersome and that map... it's not going to last long if you keep using it by pulling it out and laying it out. Not to mention that it is just as inconvenient. References should have information easily accessible, and not just there for you to hunt it down.
See my review on the Prima Pokedex for more information, but I much prefer that version compared to this one. All the information on the pokemon is much more conveniently organized (and more in depth) in Prima's version than in this pokedex.
The Adventure never ends with Pokemon Found in the Stormfront! A turbulent force is approaching in the Pokemon Trading Card Game: Diamond & Pearl -Stormfront expansion. Featuring more favorite Pokemon, new Pokemon LV.X including the Gripper Pokemon Dusknoir and Superpower Pokemon Machamp, brand-new Trainer cards, new gamplay options, and new strategies...the storm is coming, and it's ready to change everything!!!
