    If so get that Pokedex. My DS7 got it as a gift and is obssessed with reading it. That is better than playig the video game. Anyway I noticed he is interested in the definitions of words he doesn't know. Lately it is hard to get him interested to learn new words. And some of the words are simple ones I would have assumed he knew like "crave" and "flinch".
    Love that Pokedex LOL

    Do you mean the Pokedex book? My DS6 is also obsessed with an old one I picked up second-hand called "The Official Pokemon Handbook" and it is one of the few things he will read independently. He had the computer Pokedex when he was too young to read or appreciate Pokemon much, but now he likes the book much better. It helps that he knows a lot of the names already, or maybe that's me it helps.

    Yes it must be the same thing it says "the official pokemon guide". I saw a similar book at Barnes and Nobles for Club Penguin. Even though they are books about video games if they are reading and learning new words that beats playing the games. This was the best bday gift he got. I dk how they read those names right LOL. Today he brought his pokedex to the dr. So much better than having him play the DSI.
