All 3 kids enjoyed it Surely outdated by now. I'm slow on giving reviews. But the kids enjoyed it. My son just recently gave it away to someone on the secret santa list at school. He was ecstatic. Of course, my son also gave him over 1000 pokemon cards too. LOL
A Nice History Book When this book was written, Pokemon was the biggest thing on the planet. The book serves primarily as a history book in my opinion. The book is definitely "big" as the cover says. 300 pages!
There's full color images of the original 151 Pokemon with their stats. There images of the main characters and Bios. There's images of all the U.S. & Japanese Pokemon cards that existed back then. All the Burger King toys & cards are displayed. And there's Killer Decks for those that want to look back at the theory behind the Power decks.
If you or your kids are just getting into Pokemon, this will keep them entertained for hours. If you've been into Pokemon since 1998 ... then you'll have fun looking back on the good times. ;-)
Updated - "Make sure to pick up Pojo's Total Pokemon, as it picks up where this book left off, and was updated for 2004!"
GREAT BOOK! This review is being typed on behalf of my 9 year old daughter! She says very informative and a great book for a Pokemon lover!
I'm a poke'maniac! I think this is a very good book which gives you information about the trading card game and prices(the important things) the only thing which prevents it from getting 5 stars is that new sets are going to come out and this book won't be able to cover them all but it's the best book about the cards which are out there right now
the great pokemon book I have many books that have old cards and not current info. but this book as I all all the all the cards ,I say this is the best pokemon price book ever!
