Pokémon World is a fully independent, UK-based, monthly magazine that gives out information about new games, mostly upcoming Pokémon ones. It is known to spell the names of Pokémon wrong occasionally and sometimes give misleading information, such as leading up to the release of Pokémon Emerald, it stated the player would be able to buy and change clothing in-game, when really the protagonists were just given new, green-colored clothing; it also relies on websites such as Bulbapedia and Serebii.net for its information.

It had a section showing debates from certain forums over different subjects dealing with Pokémon. In addition, there are sections for fanart, letters asking questions about the Pokémon games, pullout posters of Pokémon and characters, and most recently: fan-fiction.

They have recently added a Pokémon challenge section in which people with a Pokémon game can battle a Pokémon world employee over Wi-Fi with the results printed in the magazine the next mouth.

It was released in the United States in April 2010 at Borders locations. the magazine usually comes with lots of free gifts and information about Pokémon games and is usually quite up to date, Pokémon world can be a little deceiving when it comes to Wi-Fi events, it can get the dates of when the events start and end wrong, like when they said a mew was available for download via Wi-Fi from October the 15th in the November issue and was still available, when the event really ended October 30th, it also seems deceiving that Pokémon fans buy Pokémon world every month when they can get all the information off serebii.net or Bulbapedia for free, while this is quite deceiving, the magazine is very popular.

The magazine is made by a group of Pokémon fans and published by imagineshop, the magazine claims it is unofficial, the magazine cannot be official for 2 reasons, firstly serebii.net launched a official Pokémon magazine near the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, so serebii.net has rights to it, the second reason is that Nintendo don't want people revealing information to the public about upcoming Pokémon games apart from "CoroCoro" and "The Official Nintendo Magazine".
