Pikachu Press, the official publishing imprint of The Pokémon Company International, has announced a limited slipcase edition of The Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide, created alongside Dark Horse Comics. Written by Alex Irvine, the book covers Pokémon from #0001 to #1025 of the National Pokédex, integrating data from video games, animation, and the TCG.
A Paper Pokédex with 1025 Technical Entries 📖
This hardcover volume is not a simple list of creatures. Each entry includes base stats, types, abilities, evolutions, and cross-references with the card game. The limited edition adds a collectible slipcase and extra content on battle mechanics. With 400 full-color pages, it functions as a portable database for those who prefer consulting physical media over screens.
For When Your Switch Battery Runs Out ⚡
Because yes, sometimes you want to look up a Pokémon without having to charge the console, wait for updates, or deal with slow menus. This book is quite heavy, but it doesn't require WiFi or show you ads. However, be careful when dropping it: if it hits your foot, it will hurt more than a Snorlax's Tackle. At least you don't need to catch it with a Poké Ball.
