fypblog: maxrevive: Remember Prima Guides? Especially for Pokemon? They were analogous to the bible for me.  I carried them around like an ancient tome full of sacred information, consulting it whenever any minor problem popped up or if I had the tiniest curiosity about what pokemon would learn what move and at what level. What happened to them? Why don’t I buy them anymore? Why did I ever buy them?   Hey gang, this is Joe and I wrote up a little diddy for Max Revive on Prima Guides and why we all loved them so much when we were younger! Check it out :D Ah, the Bulbapedia of the 90’s.
