Official Pokémon Magazine

Post by Pikachu3828 »

I was just browsing through an old copy of the UK Official Nintendo Magazine today and noticed an advertisement that I had not noticed before. It was an advertisement for the "Official Pokémon Magazine". It had The Pokémon Company on it and the official Nintendo Seal of Approval and had "official" everywhere.

I haven't ever seen this magazine in the shops, not that I knew it existed to look out for it. But has anyone else ever got a copy? It can't be too old as the advertisement has a picture of the magazine cover, and on close inspection it says October 2004, so it's relatively new. What's it like? Any good? What sort of information does it have in it? The advertisement says it has 92 pages.

I got it! I found it in Tesco on the day of release. The second one it took me an hour in WHSmiths to find it. What baffels me is that

The Offical is £3.99 every 2-3 months release

The Unoffical (a.k.a: Pokémon World) costs £3.99 every month.

On the whole the Officall mag supposed to cost more, but strangly it's the other way round?

Has it got any good information in it? Would it be worth my while to pick it up if I see it?
