Synopsis:

This illustrated storybook follows the path of the role-playing adventure in the Game Boy game, and therefore provides a complete walkthrough of the game "Pokemon". Generic training strategies included in the book also apply to the Nintendo 64 game.

Review: Whatever you think of the little blighters, you--or somebody you know--has gotta catch 'em all! If that somebody is a youngster (and let's face it, chances are that they're one of the many kids who've bought into this craze), they could do worse that check out this book. Presented as the story of Pokémon trainer Ash's adventures, this is a guide through the GameBoy game, letting the reader in on all the secrets of how best to bring up their fluffy (spiky, scaly, feathery or leafy) friends. While Ash is no Harry Potter, Pokemon: Pathways to Adventure serves its purpose as a game guide well. For a child who might be daunted by a traditional, techie guide, this is the best way of ensuring that they don't get too frustrated by the game. Just bear in mind that it is to the world of literature what The Pokémon Movie is to the world of art house cinema. --David Bailey
