Pokemon: Deluxe Essential Handbook

My children bought this for their Dad for Christmas who catches Pokemon for them, but I'm guessing with the aim that the book would actually be for them. All three of my children LOVE this book (age 5,8,10) and there hasn't been a day since Christmas that one of them isn't reading it or using it as reference for their own drawings. I've seen another review state that their children flip pages and have battles based on the character they land on and that's exactly what my 3 children do. The book itself is such good quality, I bought the paper back and it's still in excellent condition. I can't say I'm a Pokemon fan myself, but I'd say this was worth every penny I spent on it!

This little, thick, PACKED, colourful book is AMAZING!! Bought for my 10yr old son who absolutely LOVES it! Beautifully displays over 700 pokemon with a mini guide to all the stats+facts for each one, ie: pokemon type, moves, description etc. An absolute bargain & joy for any interested pokemon fan to study or use as reference or simply just to pour through the colourful pages & enjoy looking at them all... Best present for a boy who had a FAB school report & deserved a lovely gift from Mum..! -Pokemon fans will LOVE this, its fab & a bargain ;)

Originally saw this book in WHsmiths at double the price, so told my son we would look on amazon, and it was half the price of WHsmiths! Arrived well packaged via prime delivery. Ordered for my Pokemon obsessed son! He described this book as "totally awesome" and "Just what he needed" This is great for my son, who is not keen on sitting and reading story books, however he has spent hours sat reading about all the different Pokemon.

This handbook is currently the go to reading book for both my Pokemon obsessed boys at bedtime. High quality images, good short descriptions and moves are just what my young boys want to hear. We own several Pokemon books including the high quality Pokemon Encyclopedia but this is the book my boys (aged 3 and 5) keep coming back to. To give you an idea of how popular it is in my household we had to buy a second copy so they can both use it at the same time.

I purchased 2 of these. One for myself and one for my 11-year-old cousin. He absolutely love it! Even though his English isn't very good (we're Danish) so he can't read all of it, he can still see the names and evolutions of all the Pokemon, and see what generation they belong to. I really like it too but I am subtracting a star because I really think it would have been much better if the pokemon had been arranged by number rather than alphabetically. This is a rather big "problem" but it is also the only problem for me with this book.

I don't think I've ever bothered to write a positive review before, but my 6 year old son is so happy with this book I felt I had to let everyone know! It goes way beyond the Pokémon found on "Go" and helps teach the whole family about the different evolutions & gens. We got it as a cheap Christmas filler present, but it has been a raging success, by far the most used present of the year. He is absolutely Pokémon obsessed and goes to bed reading it every night (never usually reads to himself!). He even took it to school yesterday for World Book Day AND remembered to bring it home!! A brilliant buy, highly recommended.

I got this for my 5 year old nephew for Christmas since he loves Pokémon now after playing Pokémon go non stop for months. I noticed that he mainly liked to just look at the Pokémon in kids magazines and see how the names are pronounced and this was perfect for that. Product just as described very colourful and fun pages for little ones as you can see in the picture and even debating getting one for my 16 year old self .

Excellent book for any Pokemon fan. My son really likes it and finds it very informative. Getting my son to sit and read something can be quite difficult but he will happily sit reading through this and finding out things about all the Pokemon in it. It is also good as he plays the Pokemon games on DS and he can look through this book to find what region certain Pokemon are in and the attacks they can perform.

Lo compre de segunda mano debido a la gran reducción de precio que tenia y la verdad me esperaba que llegaría en peores condiciones, pero todo lo contrario. Ha llegado en perfecto estado, como si fuese totalmente nuevo. Sin duda es un producto muy interesante para coleccionistas y niños que adoren la serie Pokemon.

Alles super

Il testo è in inglese, ma l'ho voluto acquistare comunque perchè mi intrigava molto avere in un unico volume tutti i pokemon dalla prima alla sesta generazione. Il mio voto è solo di 3 stelle perchè i Pokemon sono elencati in ordine alfabetico e questo a mio dire è un po' scomodo e confusionario perché ho sempre preferito la divisione a generazioni, insomma secondo l'ordine del Pokedex. l'altra pecca è che per ogni pokemon non ci sono grandi descrizioni, anzi giusto poche righe per descriverlo, il tipo e la regione da cui proviene. Direi che è più adatto per i bambini perchè ci sono belle immagini per ogni pokemon ed è molto carino da sfogliare (infati il mio nipotino ne va matto).

Ordered this for our older son who along with all his little buddies at school recently became obsessed with Pokemon. He's got a whole bunch of the cards now, but wanted a book - he's more interested in the characters themselves than the cards and their gaming abilities. This book is just what it says - the essential handbook! It's as much help to us as parents, to know what the kids are on about when they talk Pokemon! There are over 700 Pokemon characters featured in this book, and after a bit of Pokemon basics in the book, you'll learn information about each character such as their: - Name - Pronunciation of the name - Possible moves - Description (thankfully bigger print than on the cards!) - Evolution - Mega Evolution - Type - Region - Height & Weight Overall, this is simply a must-buy if you have a new or little Pokemon lover in your house - this book is literally inseperable from our 6 year old's hands, he sleeps with it and takes it everywhere with him! Full on 5 star stuff, and at a great price considering how priceless it is to it's owner! :) Hope that helps.

Delivered in expected condition and on time. Fun read for kids.
