Enjoy your Gen 6.5.
Or maybe the guide is just formatted differently. Or judging by "collector's" it's actually a standard size like say Zelda guides and not the pocket dictionary brick XY's was.
Reminder that this is bait but will still get 100+ genuine replies anyway
>>26696047
it does has less pages than XY,ORAS and the gen V games tho
SM book has bigger pages, ass hat
>>26696095
based on what? Amazon doesn't list the size
>>26696111
Though it's not confirmed one look at the book makes its pages look bigger than XY's
>>26696095
sm hardcover book weighs 1.2 pounds
XY hardcover book weighs 1.9 pounds
>>26696095
>>26696136
top kek
>>26696083
Still has like 80+ more than DP.
Platinum guide only has 600+ because it has the full Pokedex, IIRC.
Why people act like is impossible for SM to be bare bones after XY and ORAS?
>>26696111
You can tell from the look of the books.
SM's is in the standard "book" guide style that most guides are in.
XY has thinner, slim appearance that would make it more like a "travel" guide which I suppose they were going for.
the less amount of pages allows for more content to be put on each page.
>>26696164
Since Gen V they had more pages
>>26696177
ORAS guide was bigger, right? it still has more pages than SM
>>26695998
>look mommy i posted it again XDDDD!!!!1!1!
>>26695998
Less pages because they don't need to explain new shit like Fairy types, Megas, or Super Training.
>>26695998
Yeah and it has more pages then the Gen 4 and 5 game's guides.
>>26696231
>less pages because they don't need to explain all the new mechanics, because there are none
>>26696193
But if BW2 has just 48 pages more than XY, does it mean XY still has an outstanding amount of content?
>>26696233
>5 game's guides.
False
>BW2:464 pages
>>26696266
48 pages is a lot. You haven't explained why it has less pages than ORAS
Sage and hide bait threads.
OP a fag.
>>26696271
BW2 and Platinum have everything in one book. I believe HGSS did too. BW1 and DP were split into two, one for maingame, one for post-game and Pokedex.
>>26696289
>480 pages
Whoa! I didn't know that.
Well dude evidently ORAS has more content than BW2.
>>26696325
Was ORAS split?
>>26696306
Or maybe. just maybe, SM has less content than Gen VI?
>>26696377
Based on a player guide?
XY had a tiny guide. Physically tiny. Smaller pages and big font. SM guides are regular sized. Page count would be less.
ITT: people who don't understand book layouts
>>26696399
AND ORAS WHICH IS REGULAR SIZE STILL HAS MORE
and also based in the fact that SM has no new content showed so far. Rotomdex is a more stylized navigator and a grab for the Yokai Watch audience, Nothing showed in the trailers is new, nothing.
>>26696441
>nothing in the trailer is new
That has fuck all to do with your size argument.
>>26696459
so ORAS guide is smaller?
>>26696170
Why do people insist on WANTING to be disappointed by constantly expecting the worst?
I mean, I understand the negativity is so you would potentially be surprised if it is beyond your expectations, or better than you hoped. However, there reaches a point where your negativity will make YOU not like the new games AT ALL.
>>26696170
It's /vp/, patternfaggotry is like a religion here
>>26696519
You could say the same for the people who claims how much better Gen VII will be even if we know nothing about the game beside the basics (we don't know about new feautures).
People did the same with Gen VI and look what happened. Reminder that GF skipped Z for this
How do they know exactly how many pages the guide will be when the game is still ~5 months away?
>>26696631
Amazon list the page number
>>26696654
No fucking shit, you autist. I meant how the creators know how many pages the guide will be when te game isn't done.
>>26696685
>GameFreak started working in SM 5 months ago
>>26696441
>All those legendaries post-game
>That are changed for each game
>Explaining how soaring works
>Comparisons between re-make, original games, and Emerald
How many pages would this take up (I have no clue what they pad these PoS guides with that you can't find easily online)
>>26696701
I'm sure they've been working on it for a while, but surely not everything is done when the game is still five months away? How do they accurately predict how many pages they will need in the guide?
>>26695998
>every pokemon game since bw2 has less content than the previous one
GEE GOLLY WHAT A SURPRISE
>>26696862
Do you realize that means SM have no new content?
>>26695998
maybe because it doesn't have a shitload of pages introducing mega-evolution and megas themselves?
>>26697009
So SM doesn't have new megas? that's what I was looking forward the most
>>26696984
I didn't know SM was a remake of an existing entry to the series
shieeeet, pokemon is dead. I'll just stick to monster hunter
thats it i'm a #yokaimissile now
>>26695998
I guess D/P has less content seeing as how its strategy guide has 80 less pages then.
