Main Game Covered; every part of the main game is detailed.
Unova Region Pokédex: A Pokédex showing details for the Pokémon that can be found in the Unova region!

This limited hardcover edition will include everything in the first book plus the bonus of the Unova Region Pokédex. The regional Pokédex will include all 150+ new Pokémon. It will be available in the second book as well, but the Collectors Edition is the only place to find this information at game launch.
This limited edition guide will be individually numbered.
The front of the book will have removable lenticular art created specifically for this guide
Both guides will be released on March 6, 2011 (at least in the United States) for $19.99 USD and $29.99 USD, respectively.

I haven't seen this posted yet but i linked it to my source.

Edit- I am trying to post the link but it's not letting me but it's from the bulbpedia forums.

I think strategy guides are pretty useless, honestly, with all the Internet we have, lol. But I must admit it is pretty handy to have a guide RIGHT THERE and not have to jump on a computer to find out what you need. I've been playing Pokemon a while, though, and have only bought one guide, the Diamond/Pearl one with the Pokedex info and thru-game and post-game info and hints and all that good crapola that is a waste of $20. I will most likely not be buying this guide, unless it is cheap. If I DO buy the guide though, it will be the regular version, since the collectors one is a big pile of money-eating poop.

So, basically the Special Edition covers book 1 and 2? So that way you don't have to buy both of them?

Wait, does the Special Edition Strategy Guide contain the whole game and step-by-step basically?

I'm pretty sure. I think book one has info up to the end of the story, and book two has the post-game stuff and the full Pokedex. This is the one I ordered!

Kinda surprised they've been dropping the prices already. Seems to be the thing to do after the actual releases of the games.

It was the same for HGSS. The prices were lowest on release day and the price for the HGSS guides rose by a couple of dollar in the weeks after release. Prices have stayed very static since.

I think that alot of sales of these guides occurs on or around release date so there's a bit of competition to capture that lucrative slice of the market.
