 Second of two volumesJan 20, 2010
The first volume of Pokemon: The Complete Pokemon Pocket Guide covers Pokemon #246 to #491 (Larvitar to Darkrai). This book opens with an introductory page that explains how to use the book and says that the book is one volume in a set. In these books, the Pokemon are listed in numerical order. The information included for all the Pokemon are its name, its species, its type, its abilities, its height, its weight, a description, its special moves, and its evolutions. There is also a picture of the Pokemon in its entry.
I bought this book for my son for his birthday. He likes the book, but his major complaint is that, even though this is labeled as being a "pocket guide," it doesn't actually fit into a pocket. I have to agree with him. While the book is smaller in size than the regular handbooks, it is still too big to fit into anyone's pocket.
Even though the Pokemon in the book are arranged in numerical order, there is an index in the back of the book listing the Pokemon in alphabetical order. By using this index, you'll be able to locate where a Pokemon is in the book if you don't know what its number is.
Overall, this guide has good information, but it's very similar to other Pokemon handbooks that have already been released. Specifically, it's very similar to the Pokemon Ultimate Handbook.
I would recommend these books to a Pokemon fan, even if they already have the Pokemon Ultimate Handbook. While the information contained in these books are split into two volumes, these books are still smaller and a little more portable than the Pokemon Ultimate Handbook. Like with most of the other Pokemon handbooks that have been released, these are just as useful to adults as they are to children.
I wrote this review after looking through copies of these books that my husband and I bought our son for his birthday.

 Good quality graphics in full color Jan 10, 2009
As with Volume 1 of The Complete Pokemon Pocket Guide,the quality of the graphics found in Volume 2 is excellent. Each page shows a different pokemon in full color. I love the fact that practically all the pokemon are depicted in different angles so you can get an idea of what a pokemon looks like when viewed from the front, back or side. On each page you can find the Pokemon Data (type, abilities, height & weight), National Pokedex Number of the Pokemon, brief description of the Pokemon and its Special Moves. The evolution process of the pokemon is shown at the bottom of the page. An aphabetical index of all the pokemon can be found at the end of the book. If you have purchased Volume 1 and loved it, buy Volume 2 to "complete your collection". If you have purchased neither volumes, buy both and enjoy the lovely graphics.
