Usually ships in 1-2 business days | | Only 1 left in stock, order soon! | | | | | | If there's anyone out there who thinks that the Pokemon craze would just be another fad, disappearing from public consciousness in a matter of months, well, think again. The popularity of the Japanese monster collecting game shows no sign of slowing and may in fact be growing thanks to improving technology, evidenced in new products such as this hand held Pokedex. It features electronically stored information on all 200 Pokemon Advanced monsters and features such as personalization and tracking up to six of your favorite Pokemon. You can earn trainer points as you capture the various critters on various different terrains offered. Beyond the traditional capture game, there are other challenges available including a Pokemon quiz and a new game where you help Mudkip run without tiring the poor guy out. The Pokedex may not appeal to someone who isn't already a Pokemon fan but for those who are hooked, it's a lot of fun. Three AAA batteries are required but not included. --Charlie Williams | | | |

 A nice item for collectors... Nov 16, 2004
By J. Nickerson
Being a Pokemon fan, I rushed out and got this the second it came out... okay, I lied, I waited for the price to drop, THEN I bought it.
When Pokemon first came out, Tiger brought us a Pokedex modeled after Ash's Pokedex from the show. Almost. It came with a letterpad and extra buttons that weren't on the real Pokedex, and almost the entire thing was red, with no additional color. Not to mention the tiny screen only displayed five letters at a time.
This new Pokedex makes a few improvements. It's almost an exact repica of the Pokedex used by Ash and May on the Advanced series, and the screen is much improved. It has the info for the 200 Pokemon found in Ruby/Sapphire, which may disappoint fans looking for older Pokemon that were left out of the new release. It also tosses in a few minigames as well.
However, it's not perfect. I was half expecting the Pokedex to make the pleasant "ding" sound as it does on the TV show. Instead, we get an annoying buzzer sound each time you press the main button. Do yourself a favor and turn off the sound as soon as you start it up. Also, the front cover feels a bit flimsy. I have a feeling it will NOT survive a day with a typical child without the cover being snapped off.
It's a nice gift for a Pokemon fan and collectors who are old enough to know not to throw it around. I give it a generous 4 out of 5...

Kids Love it - parents - here are some sanity-saving tips Dec 26, 2004
By R. Clark
"lexingtonguy"
My kids love this game - it has been a huge hit - they are Pokemon fans and they each have one, ages 6 and 9. I really dislike pokemon, but Santa saw fit to bring these Pokedexes this holiday.
Two tips for parents:
1) The factory setting for the screen contrast was way off on both of them. A quick adjustment makes the screen *much* easier to read.
2) Sound can be turned off on the 'options mode' - and you will definitely want to do that (beep, beep, beep, agggghhh)
The kids say they wish it had a color screen, but at $40, it's hard to expect that. They area also making their way through the games pretty fast - meaning that they may get bored with it after that - and its not expandable. But they tell me then it becomes a 'reference tool' for identifying pokemon.
I must admit that I fully expected to slam this toy on the review, but have been quite suprised at how much they love it.

Cheesy, but he loves it. Oct 20, 2004
By J. Entler
"Mom of 2"
I think $40 is wayyyy over priced. The minute I opened it, It felt like the top might snap. It's cheap light weight plastic but... My son loves it. He's had it for 1 week now and hasn't put it down. He even emptied his piggy bank to pay for it. So I guess If he loves it, it's worth it. I would wait for a sale though.

 three words: ONE COOL TOY! Nov 28, 2004
I think the pokemon advanced pokedex is a great holiday toy for all pokemon fans! fans will enjoy:
capturing new pokemon on capture mode
getting new screen savers and prizes
looking up their favorite pokemon
saving their favorite pokemon
learning about their pokemon
playing around like they're ash
getting codes
and after a few minutes, the pokedex will automatically turn off when not played with after a while
it's so small it can fit in your pocket!
i recommend this toy because it's so fun and i'm 11 years old. i think kids will be playing with this toy more than anything else they get under the christmas tree. the only thing bad about this toy is the price. i think the price is the thing that might hold parents back from buying this toy. Well don't hold back! i am saying that loud and clear, this is one cool toy!

 It's Ok Oct 10, 2004
For $40 it is not worth it. There is 201 pokemon on it and mini games. It gives good descriptions but it is too expensive. Wait for the price to lower.
