Difference between B&W official guides?

As usual I'm looking ta pick up the latest POKéMON guides but I'm kinda sitting here confused about which to get. There's three of 'em which makes things more complicated! Volume 1 is a B&W walkthrough guide and Volume 2 is a Unova 'dex guide. But theres also a special edition guide which has the walkthrough and claims to have the 'dex stuff to! But the page counts come out so different (256 pgs, 352 pgs, 336 pgs) that the special edition must obviously not have everything. Maybe I should just get all 3 -_-?

I assume you are buying them for fandom purposes since the internet is a free dex and walkthru. Personally I would only grab the dex. Walkthrus aren't really worth it and make people play games like they were checklists instead of exploring a gameworld.

I had the dex for 4th gen and it was really cool and actually quite useful. I'd say go for that.

They all have passwords for getting Global Link stuff, so I'd say get them all.

Yupyup! I've been getting the guides since the originals were out! Never once referenced 'em while playing through the games, I just find 'em fun to pull out and read/look at the nice pictures.

The Platinum guide is bigger than my phonebook lol. So is the two Hg/Ss guides stacked upon one another. Looking at the page count of these they don't quite match up. I wonder if there will be a Volume 3: International Pokédex?

Don't got the games so I dunno what that all does but I'll keep the codes in mind just in case! Getting all 3 would cost me $42.89... hmmm. Decisions!
