Pokémon anime novelization series

The Pokémon anime novelizations are the main series of Pokémon books. In this series, there are twenty eight books, with twenty six being based off of anime episodes and two having original plots. Like the Pokémon Jr. series, it is a multiple-author series, with its authors being Tracey West, Jennifer L. Johnson, and Sheila Sweeny. The Pokémon anime novelizations start with the book I Choose You! and ends with Winner Takes All, spanning throughout the Indigo League, Orange Islands, and some portion of the Johto Journeys. This series can be distinguished from other series based off of anime episodes from its chapter-book format and the design of the blurb on the back, which consists of a black box with text and several circles featuring different species of Pokémon on its rim.
