The gripes about this being only half the guide are moot. It clearly says on the cover and spine that this is volume 1 and only covers Johto. After completing Johto the game is officially over as the end credits roll. The Kanto section can be seen as a large side quest and as such it's fine by me to publish a separate guide for that.
That out of the way, it must be said that this book enhances the experience of the game to a level that is hard to express in words. The game by itself is a great adventure, but this book makes sure you get to explore every nook and cranny and never feel lost or overwhelmed. It's far from the direct GameFAQs.com approach of telling the player exacly what must be done in painstakingly minute details. This is a general guide that tells you what must be accomplished in each area and gives you gentle nudges as to how to go about your task. It's a wonderful experience.
The layout and design is extremely well done. All pages are in full color, and the level of information on each page is quite staggering. There's story, maps, side quests, catchable Pokémon, appearance stats and trainer tips. On the same page and each and every page of the story walkthrough. How they prevented this from being a cluttered mess of information overload and instead appear as a beacon of intelligence is down to brilliant design and hours upon hours of editing. This beautiful work took a long, long time to prepare.
For the catch'em'all segment out there, you're told where, when and how often the 250+ Pokémon appears around the Johto region (the first half of the game) so its easy to catch the more elusive ones.
By now I have completed the Johto section of the game (I'm an old guy with a job and can't play 10 hours a day like the kids) and the Kanto region lays open before me. But I refuse to take a single step there before volume 2 of this guide is published, because playing with the guide in hand is just so much more fun than going it alone. Until the end of May, I'm trawling through this volume to catche the Pokémons i missed the first time through and complete the areas that were not open before.

First, I thought I would make it clear that I was reviewing the product -as one should in a product review- and not reviewing the way Amazon chose to advertise this product.
It appears that one user decided to rate it 1-star, based on Amazon being misleading. Yeah, that works, the fact that Amazon didn't make it clear that there were 2 parts to it automatically renders all information in the book useless, even though they couldn't give a much clearer walkthrough than they did without taking your DS and actually playing the game for you...
Comes with complete maps for the Johto region, Full Pokedex, and where to find everything, a complete walkthrough, character profiles, Pokewalker and Wi-fi guides, move types, and which types they are effective against, and even a recommended route to take. I give this five stars because nothing was missed, and yes, as another naive individual already pointed out, a second guide will be released detailing the Kanto region and the reason that no such guide was featured in the related products is because it has not yet been released!

I bought this guide, already knowing that it would only have the Johto part of the pokedex, which I'd made my peace with, however I was expecting it would include the Kanto half of the main game, but no, all that's in this guide is the Johto region. Why I have no idea, since a lot has changed since LeafGreen/FireRed so if they were hoping to increase sales for those guides I don't think they made a wise choice.
Very disappointed that essentially half the guide is missing and I feel more than a little ripped-off. If you're ok with having a half complete guide then it's a very well put together one, but by missing about half of the material it makes me feel like a chump for buying it at all instead of just using an online guide.
edit: It seems this guide is "Volume 1" but this is only mentioned on the spine and certainly not in the product description. Just the publishers trying to milk more money. Shameful.
