After 30 years, the world of Pokemon has grown massive with hundreds of pocket monsters and multiple regions to explore. Plenty of books have been published over the years, but Pikachu Press’s upcoming Pokemon Character Guide is aiming to be a comprehensive and luxurious look at the franchise. Out on August 25, you can preorder this deluxe edition book for $60 through Amazon, or if you want to go all out, a feature-packed $200 Collector’s Edition is also available.

Clocking in at 336 pages, the Pokemon Character Guide features entries on over 1,000 Pokemon. Exploring every region in the franchise, the book also shines a light on the various Pokemon animation projects, the video games, Pokemon: The Trading Card Game, and much more. The book also includes a foreword written by The Pokemon Company president and CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, and it’s enhanced with a ribbon bookmark, premium golden gilded edges, Pikachu endpapers, and a comprehensive index. As an added bonus, the Pokemon Character Guide also features a special chapter focused on Legendary and Mythical Pokemon.

The Collector’s Edition of the Pokemon Character Guide features the same content as the Deluxe Edition, but it comes packed with extras. The book itself is packaged inside a collector’s box that features ornate designs, and it’s accompanied by two collectible video game prints, two collectible animation prints, an exclusive Pokemon: TCG playmat, and a certificate of authenticity.
Another great option for budding Pokemon researchers is the Pokecology: An Illustrated Guide to Pokemon Ecology hardcover book that launched just a few weeks ago. This officially licensed 208-page volume explores the Pokemon universe’s unique ecologies based on data from the official Pokedex entries throughout the series, alongside illustrations from illustrator and real-life animal behavior researcher Chihiro Kinoshita. The book is published by Pikachu Press, the same company behind the upcoming Pokemon Character Guide. It’s available for $11 (was $15) at Amazon.

To complete your Pokemon library, you can also pair the Character Guide and Pokecology books with the official Pokemon Pocket Guide Box Set. This is a massive two-volume paperback box set that covers almost 900 Pokemon. Both entries combined offer over 1,100 pages of content, with details on Pokemon descriptions, stats, abilities, movies, and evolutions. Each Pokemon entry is also accompanied by an illustration, with the first volume covering Pokedex entries No. 1 through 442, and Volume 2 ranges from No. 443 through 898. Pokemon from the Paldean region are sadly excluded, but with Pokemon Winds and Waves coming out next year, this pocket-friendly set of books will come in very handy for when you catch legacy pocket monsters in the Switch 2 game. You can also purchase each volume on its own at decent discounts, but you’ll save a few bucks more when you buy the box set edition, which is available for $20.29 (was $29).
