Customer Reviews

A short review, and a clarification

This is Officer Jordan, Pokemon defender, clarifier of assumptions, and here's his latest review. The book itself is very informative. Has pretty much everything a fan needs to know, straight from the fun world that is Pojo. About the breasts thing... oh yes. That's exactly why the episode was banned in America. Japan has slightly higher standards than America, and some things that are considered unhealthy for American viewers are considered a tad extreme, but still okay for Japanese viewers. (Japanese Pokemon watchers are from 9-15.) And even then, this is definitely not the norm for Pokemon. The episode has never been shown again. I agree it was kind of silly to put the picture there, but in the context, if you read closely enough, it would've made sense. And five years old is still a little too young for that book's level in general... try maybe eight, at least. (I wonder if I should've told them it was Jam- OOPS. Well, not my problem they zoomed through the book without a second glance.) - Officer Jordan, the same person who wrote the Pokemon defense on another page. Remember, kids, happiness is a warm Pokeball.

CCG Player's Love This Book

I always like these Pojo books on all of the collectable card games that are there now. It really helps to keep up with what's been going on and they're also fun to read. They pay good attention to all the cooliest graphics that make the games and anime really fun to be involved with. The deck advice is really valuable if you like to play or get into tournaments and stuff. The Total Pokemon book, like their other books, is really really comprehensive and I use it as a gaming resource book all the time. The best part is that they're great for gamers at ANY level, newbie and experienced.

A 2004 update of Pojo's Awesome Big Book of Pokemon

Pojo made their awesome "Big Book of Pokemon" in early 2000 I think. It has been 4 years since then, and a lot of stuff has happened in those 4 years in the World of Pokemon. The Pojo writers do their best to get everyone up to date on what has happened. First, there's a History of the Pokemon Phenomenon. Then Pojo breaks the book into 3 sections: Anime, Video Games, and Trading Card Game.The Anime section has a list of every episode, and highlights from each League/Region. It details when everyone left, joined, etc. Kind of cool.The Video Game section has a brief look at all the Pokemon Video Games. Then there are quick walkthrough's for all the handheld RPG's (Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby & Sapphire). This actually had me breaking out Pokemon Red again and starting it over. I forgot how fun that game was again!The last 1/2 of the book is all about the cards. There's a review of every set ever created in the U.S., and a Top List from every set. There are also over a dozen Killer Decks from the Pojo writers. Then Pojo has a look at the rarest and most collectible Japanese Cards. Writers include Pokepop, STS Champ Heidi Craig, Gym Leader Phil, Otaku, Meganium45, Bondi and other popular TCG Pokemon players.If you are at into Pokemon, and want to get re-caught up with what has happened the last 4 years, this book is a lot of fun ... and well worth 10 bucks.
