Reviews

[Susan ...relish every word!!! · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best book…to help me understand my Pokémon!!!

[SnailsAndSlugs · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute but the alphabetical order is ludicrous and it could have used another round of editing. A lot of stuff like this: "It is born with a wondrous power that lets it bond with any kind of Pokémon. It starts its life with a wondrous power that permits it to bond with any kind of Pokémon." Or: "It lives in the crater of a volcano. It is well known that the humps on its back erupt every 10 years. If angered, the humps on its back erupt in a shower of molten lava. It lives in the craters of volcanoes." 🤣

Using an alphabetical order while the pokedex exists is the worst idea possible, it's just confusing. Adding the regions would've been helpful too. The info and the descriptions were very interesting and useful, but the overall layout was hard to follow so I ended up reading only about the Pokémon I was interested in. I wanted to learn more about the new generations but I ended up skipping them altogether.

This book is a good guide to have and learn about ll the pokemon up to date. I do wish they had their strengths listed along with their weaknesses. Some of the descriptions were pretty ridiculous, others much more realistic.

[Wanda ❣️ · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to like this, but the index in the back has NO PAGE NUMBERS?!?! Why was it done in alphabetical order too??

[Sara Mai · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really fun book with some general fun facts about each pokémon but I expected more information. Some had very bare descriptions. Fun collector’s item

[Lilly Guirguis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very fun and detailed

If you love Pokemon and cartoon designs, you'll love things Libby book.


Hope everyone enjoys this review and have a blessed day

It was a joy to see the original 150 Pokemon.
Young Eden would have loved us.
Even Maeve loved looking through it.

Disappointed

This book is incomplete. I expected there to be the pokemon from scarlet and violet downloadable content but it does not have that.

[Maven Witch · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are many mistakes, such as incorrect Poké Dex numbers or the wrong evolution, and for a few Pokémon, since the bios are taken from what I assume to be whatever the two most recent games’ Dex entries are for it, the bios are repeated verbatim twice in a row. Most of these mistakes could be remedied by a simple once over from an editor but since it’s a children’s book that care is clearly not put into these, which is disappointing.
Also, they really need to just start calling these Pokémon Handbook Vol. 8 or something, these titles are getting crazy 😂
