So /vp/ what do you think the extra 130 pages in the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon strategy guide are about?
>>33160506
Pokedex stuff
>>33160512
If they include the full national dex, thats only like 30 pages
(That by itself is good since it means the national dex is in the game)
They only do like little boxes for each pokemon since they like to sell the dex as a seprete book
Extra game mechanics/index/glossaries/movelists are like 30 pages total too
Rest is new stuff
>>33160544
So that's a minimum of 70 pages worth of new stuff. That sounds pretty damn promising actually.
>>33160558
Here's hoping. What's the size like compared to other games' guides?
>>33160567
IIRC it's about the same size as Black 2 White 2's strategy guide.
>>33160544
Don't forget that we have 0 clue what the pages before that extra 130 will be about..since it's a new set of games with a different story, we don't know how many pages that will take
Same goes for features and any other form of change..
the tldr is that having an extra 130 pages is always promising but it could be literally anything in terms of relevance or irrelevance
Concept art for the unused Alola Battle Frontier.

Also it's coming with a pullout map so that's implying that the map will change somehow so there's that.

Come on Game Freak throw us a bone already

>we're so starved for information that we're analyzing the number of pages in the official strategy guide
This really makes you think
For comparisions sake, here are the other guides:
>RS: 152
>Emerald: 240
>DP: 296
>Pt: 624*
>BW: 256
>BW2: 464
>ORAS: 480
*the guide for Platinum is so much bigger because combined the regular book and the national dex book, the "actual guide" is around 250, minus index's and stuff
>>33160613
The story wont be that much more different, its more like Emerald and Platinum, story itself will probably take up around 20 pages as a ballpark figure if we get a few areas like new towns or new Ultra Spaces
It's going to be that long because they're including all that SM official artwork they haven't released to this day.
>>33160890
They'll probably sell that as a seprete art book like they did for Oras and S/M
Japan only of course
>>33160934
I was only joking, I don't think we'll see those ever being released by now.
>>33160794
Not fair to compare. The Pokemon company didn't publish the books until x and y
I have the platinum book published by prima it's the guide book and national dex combined
