Pokemon X amp Y decisions

I am getting the new pokemon games, but am undecided whether or not to get the guide or not. If I do end up getting the guide I would use my gamestop rewards points so it wont cost me a dime. However, if I do not get the guide I can get 10$ off the game and since I have already put 30$ down on the game I would only be paying the tax. I need help making this decision Basil! If you have certain reasoning please write it down in the comments.

Thanks for your input guys. I have decided to take the 10$ off instead.

There will be better guides available online for free, if you ever need one. With the functionality of ctrl+f .

If it has a poster, or some other goodies like an artbook or soundtrack included, then you might reconsider buying it. Otherwise, skip it.

Getting a guidebook is no fun. It ruins the experience since you tell you about the places, trainers, pokemon you can catch etc.

I prefer that I find out what happens myself

The only reason why I'd get a guidebook would be to add to my bookshelf.

You have the internet. Why do you need a guide?

the only time i bought a pokemon guide was when that nice bw one came out and...it really didn't have enough extra content to justify the purchase
i don't see the point in a guide when bulbapedia etc have what info you need for free, in addition to pokemon being a game you really don't need a guide for
