Some pros, Some cons 
2000-11-08
I got it after I was half way through Silver. It tells you almost every thing you need to know. Although it doesnt tell you some names and stuff needed to evolve them, it is still better than Prima's. The other con is that it only shows you Johto maps, not the new Kanto ones. I wanted the Kanto maps cause there all changed every where . The real cool part about the one i got is that it is a COLLECTOR'S EDITION, which means it has a side with shiny Silver with Lugia, and the back shiny Gold with Hou-oh
The Ultimate Pokemon Book 2000-10-21
This strategy guide, just like it's predecessor, is the ultimate guide for the newly released and highly anticipated pokemon game of the year. This has everything a new or veteran trainer needs to find. For example it shows when certain pokemon evolve,how to get the new evolutions of the old pokemon, what level they learn new moves, and item locations. Also the locations of the rare pokemon in the game and how to beat the gym trainers to win the badges to get into the Shock League. I own the Japanese version of this game but ever since i got the guide everything has been much clearer now. I love this guide and would reccomend it to anyone who needs help with the game
The Best of the Best 2000-10-20
I Don't Really Have an atraction to the Pokemon Game all that much so I really didn't think anybody could top a Prima strategy guide, like they made for Red, Blue, and Yellow. I Personally have to say its a very good thing to have and to use if you aren't a person who is too good with Video Games because this outlines every Detail for Both new Versions of the game and they know the type of information we gamers want. I was impressed by the fact that they told you close to everything you need to know without giving away the ending that was important, they always do that in those other crumy strategy guides except prima and this one. I have trusted Prima for help throughout the years, but if Bradygames comes out with another strategy guide and I have the game i am sure to buy it. If you need help just check this book for all the essential needs and more.

This offical stragety guide will be helpful to me 100% because I have both Pokemon Gold and Crystal. On my Silver, I can't get pass a Sudowoodo looking like a tree because one lady in Goldenrod will not give me a water bottle to blast it with. On my Gold, I am having trouble in Ecruteak City and the Gym. Please, it wiil help me.

Best Pokemon Gold/Silver Guide out there 2001-06-27
Boy was I angry. I couldn't find a decent strategy guide. I was looking through amazon then going out to book stores to flip through the guides. Prima guide? Not enough info. Pokemon Gold & Silver Official Pokedex? Not good maps. Just when I thought I was stuck, I came across Pokemon Gold Version and Silver Version : Official Trainer's Guide. I flipped through the book, looking at every detail. I purchased it and brought it home. I am so glad I did. This book's maps are great, has detailed information on every trainer and every move, TM, HM, map, Gym Leader and evolution. It even has a map of the whole Pokemon World at the end. Highly Reccomended for people who are just starting to play Pokemon Gold+Silver. It also told me what pokemon only exist and gold and not silver and vice-versa. I love it.
Its an OK guide

I bought this book thinking that it was going to answer all my questions on the game and even the ones that i didnt have. The maps are good, and the guide part is average. They have discriptions on SOME of the pokemon(vague discriptions). The worst part about this is that it lacks a pokedex. It makes you wonder why the guide for the older game came with one of the best pokedexes. It includes the pokemons strengths, weaknesses, moves, evolutions, TMs, HMs, and stats. This strategy guide doesn't even contain a complete listing of all the pokemon. I don't know why people gave it such high ratings because I found it just as lacking as the prima guide. It doesn't have that much to offer.
Almost the Best

I got this book to go along with my new pokemon silver game. It really is a great guide. It has pokemon information and great chapters. The only problem is that it gives away the ending. It told me all the secrets so it really wasn't fun to find them out on my own. I recommend the Versus Guide for Pokemon Gold/Silver. It doesn't give away secrets and is a little bit more in depth.
