'''Kinesis''' (Japanese: '''スプーンまげ''' ''Spoon Bend'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Alakazam}}.

==Effect==
===Generations I to III===
Kinesis decreases the target's {{stat|accuracy}} stat by one stage.
In Red and Blue versions, there is no way to use kinesis except via metronome.
Kinesis can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra three appeal points if either the move {{m|Confusion}} or {{m|Psychic}} was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing certain moves ({{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Psychic}} and {{m|Teleport}}) to have their base appeal points doubled.

===Generations IV to VII===
Kinesis can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Kinesis, the user's {{stat|Evasion|evasiveness}} is raised by one stage.

===Generation VIII===
In Versions 1.0 to 1.1.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Kinesis cannot be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.2.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in previous generations.

==Trivia==
* This move is a reference to the psychokinetic spoon bending tricks popularized by stage psychic {{wp|Uri Geller}}.
* Along with {{m|Barrage}} and {{m|Struggle}}, Kinesis is one of three moves introduced in Generation I that have not been featured in the main {{pkmn|anime}} series. In the case of Kinesis, this may be due to [[Pokémon controversy#Uri Geller|legal issues between Nintendo and Geller]].
** This may also be why Kinesis is one of the two Generation I moves never seen in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} (the other being Struggle).
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, no Pokémon could learn Kinesis; it only appeared as a random result of {{m|Metronome}}. From {{game|Yellow}} onward, Kadabra has it as a starting move, such that wild Kadabra know Kinesis in Pokémon Yellow and the Generation II games. Kadabra and Alakazam can also be taught Kinesis using the [[Move Reminder]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

'''Pyukumuku''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナマコブシ''' ''Namakobushi'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Pyukumuku is a marine Pokémon with an ovoid, black body. Its face has two beady, pink eyes and a white mouth shaped roughly like a star or {{wp|Gozan no Okuribi|Daimonji}}. This Pokémon is capable of spitting its organs out through its mouth. The white organs can take different shapes, such as a fist. Two lines of three pink spikes run down each side of its back. The middle spike of each line is about twice as long as the others are. A fluffy white puff forms its tail.

Pyukumuku tends to find a spot it likes and stay there, even returning to the same spot if moved. Once all the food in its favorite spot has been consumed, it will continue to stay there to the point of starvation. Its body is coated with a viscous fluid that allows it to stay on land for a week without drying out. This fluid is also beneficial to people as a moisturizer. If stepped on, it will expel its fist-like organs and smack the perpetrator. It particularly hates having its mouth or spikes touched. Tourists dislike Pyukumuku due to its appearance and lifestyle and often accidentally step on Pyukumuku. This creates a need for part-time jobs on beaches chucking this Pokémon back into the sea. However, people in Alola have already taken to throwing the Pokémon back to the sea where it can find food when thin.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/pyukumuku/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Pyukumuku]</ref>

Pyukumuku is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Purify}}.

==Trivia==
* Pyukumuku has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon. It is tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} for the lowest base Speed stat of all Pokémon.
* Pyukumuku is the only Pokémon that can learn [[TM]]s outside of moves it learns by leveling up that cannot learn {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Frustration}}, or {{m|Return}}.
*Apart From using Struggle, there is no way that Pyukumuku can damage Pokemon That Are Ghost and Poison or Steel and Ghost types.

===Origin===
Pyukumuku may be based on a {{wp|sea cucumber}}, some species of which expel their {{wp|Cuvierian tubules}} (part of the sea cucumber's respiratory system) to deter would-be predators from eating them. Given its tail and "ears", it may also be inspired by the [[wp:Jorunna_parva|sea bunny]], a type of sea slug that became popular in Japan in 2015 due to its cute appearance. It may also resemble {{wp|Wiwaxia}}, a kind of ancient soft-bodied sea creature.

====Name origin====
Pyukumuku may be a combination of ''puke'', ''cucumber'', and ''mucus''.

Namakobushi may be a combination of 海鼠 ''namako'' (sea cucumber) and 拳 ''kobushi'' (fist).

===History===
The anime has been available in the United States on Netflix since March 1, 2014.<ref>http://time.com/10563/pokemon-is-coming-to-netflix</ref> When ''Indigo League'' first became available for streaming, Netflix only got the first 52 episodes as they were aired in the US first season order.<ref>http://www.justpushstart.com/2014/03/pokemon-netflix-include-entire-indigo-league</ref> Netflix added Season 2 of the ''Indigo League'' episodes during Summer 2014, which contained 23 ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands'' episodes as a bonus since those are a part of US season 2, although the title ''Pokémon: Indigo League'' still remains even though ''Adventures in the Orange Islands'' is not a part of ''Indigo League''.<ref>http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/netflix-adds-remaining-pokemon-indigo-league-episodes-lineup</ref> Netflix later removed season 2.

''[[S14|Pokémon: Black & White]]'' was added on March 1, 2014 along with ''[[M14|Pokémon the Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' and ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]''. Later that year, on June 1, ''[[S15|Pokémon BW: Rival Destinies]]'' and ''[[M15|Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]'' were also made available.

''[[S16|Pokémon BW: Adventures in Unova and Beyond]]'' and ''[[M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' were added on March 15, 2015. The second semester of 2015 saw the addition of ''[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' and ''[[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]'' on September 1.

The site was updated again on February 15, 2016 to include ''[[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and ''[[M17|Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. However, one day later, all of the {{series|Best Wishes}} [[season]]s and {{pkmn|movies}} were removed. ''[[S18|Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest]]'' was added on June 1, 2016 along with its corresponding movie, ''[[M18|Pokémon the Movie: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.

The last season of the {{series|XY}}, titled ''[[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]'', became available for streaming on April 1, 2017.

''[[S20|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' was added on April 1, 2018.

''[[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and ''[[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]'' were removed in North America on April 1, 2019, following the addition of ''[[S21|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures]]''.<ref>https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/leaving-soon/pokemon-the-series-xyz-xy-is-leaving-netflix/</ref> However, they can still be streamed outside of North America.

==Available audio and closed captioning==
English audio/closed captioning are available for the Pokémon anime and movies in all countries except Japan. The availability of other languages differ per country or region. The following languages are available in at least one country or region: Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Thai and Turkish.

==Banned episodes and seasons==
Since Netflix uses the [[Dub#The English dub|English dub]] and [[Dub#Other languages|dubs based on the English dub]], [[EP035]] and [[EP038]] are not included. Even though the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' was dubbed in English, the episode was excluded on Netflix. When ''[[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]'' was still available on Netflix ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'', and ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'' were excluded too. This is not specific to Netflix as all these episodes are no longer mentioned on [[Pokemon.com]] and excluded from [[Pokémon TV]] and newer DVD releases.

[[SM064]] is the latest in banned episodes as Ash dresses up as a [[Passimian]], who happens to have a dark colored face and is a chimp. Due to the racial connotations, this episode from ''[[S21|Sun and Moon - Ultra Adventures]]'' was never aired outside of Japan.

The [[season]]s are based on the season broadcasts in the [[dub]]. For example, ''[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' was split up into two seasons. The ''Indigo League'' episodes had the 1998 commercial bumpers where {{an|Brock}} says "We'll be back after these messages," and then after the advertisement when he says "And now, back to our show." However, due to Netflix not having advertisements during streaming, these bumpers served no purpose. The bumpers have since been removed from Netflix.

==Trivia==
* The closed captioning misspells "Teach Pokémon to understand" in [[Pokémon Theme]] as "EACH POK{{tt|É|not e-acute until EP041}}MON TO UNDERSTAND" as does [[Pokémon Theme#Errors|the closed captioning for other releases and the official lyrics]].
** When the title cards are displayed for ''Indigo League'', the text isn't repeated on the closed captioning.
* The Latin American captions for the title cards read "[narrator] ''{{tt|Hoy presentamos|Today, we present}}'': [episode title]" for season 1, unlike the English captioning.
* The Japanese version has the edited version of [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]], like [[Amazon]] but unlike [[Hulu]].
* The Japanese version has English descriptions for all episodes including for never dubbed episodes like [[EP035]] and the not yet dubbed episodes of the Sun & Moon series.
* The American Netflix often credited "macarons" as "macaroons".
* The Japanese version of Netflix does not feature a next episode preview for episodes streamed after the episode nor does it feature a Japanese episode gag, such as the [[Poké Problem]] for the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

'''James's Victreebel''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのウツボット''' ''Kojirō's Utsubot'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]] during his journey through [[Kanto]], and his fifth overall.

==History==
[[File:James Weepinbell.png|thumb|left|200px|James's first encounter with Weepinbell]]
===[[Original series]]===
====Kanto====
James caught Victreebel as a {{p|Weepinbell}} sometime between ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. Prior to the latter episode, he left Weepinbell at the breeding center [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] were operating, unaware that the center was run by Team Rocket. In the episode itself, he, [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}} broke into the center and learned that it was under Team Rocket's control. He did not immediately follow Jessie and Meowth in escaping the breeding center, instead he looking around for his Weepinbell upon remembering it was the same breeding center where he'd left it. After some searching, James located his Pokémon and discovered that it had evolved into a Victreebel, and the two had a joyous reunion. Victreebel was only used once by James during Kanto, being used in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'' to help extinguish {{MTR}}, who was on fire. However, instead of extinguishing the flames, Victreebel itself caught fire, and Ash needed to intervene with {{AP|Squirtle}} to put out the fire.

====Orange Islands====
In the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], James started to use Victreebel in battle, occasionally using it in place of {{TP|James|Weezing}} alongside [[Jessie's Arbok]] or {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}. In addition to battling, Victreebel started to play a larger role in the team's plans. In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', James used Victreebel's {{m|Sleep Powder}} to put Ash, {{ashfr}}, and all of their Pokémon to sleep in order to be able to steal their Pokémon and get away unopposed. This failed, however, due to {{AP|Snorlax}} being too heavy for them to steal.

====Johto====
[[File:James Victreebel in love.png|thumb|left|200px|Victreebel in love]]
During [[Johto]], Victreebel became James's primary combatant. In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', Victreebel was used alongside {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to try to stop the [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]], since everyone else refused to fight due to the festival rules. Victreebel tried its best, but was easily defeated when overwhelmed by the thugs' {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Primeape}}. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} was sent out afterwards and managed to defeat them with its {{m|Counter}} attack.

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', James entered Victreebel in the [[Grass Tournament]], hoping to win the collection of [[Leaf Stone]]s. Victreebel went up against [[Ephraim]] and his {{p|Skiploom}}, Skippy, in the first round. Despite hitting with its {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Take Down}}, it was easily defeated after being hit by Skippy's {{m|Leech Seed}} and being confused by Skippy's {{m|Double Team}}.

In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', the [[Magikarp salesman]] encountered Team Rocket yet again, and upon an irate James demanding a refund for a [[EP015|prior]] [[James's Gyarados|purchase]], offered to instead [[trade]] to them a Weepinbell for one of their Pokémon. He stated that Weepinbell's {{m|Sweet Scent}} move would help them to catch Pokémon, which convinced them it was a good deal, and got them thinking about which Pokémon to trade. {{MTR}} refused to be traded, and Jessie and James each made it very clear they were unwilling to part with Arbok, Weezing, or Wobbuffet, which led to Jessie and Meowth volunteering Victreebel. James adamantly refused, and had flashbacks to the times he spent with Victreebel, including one flashback of his first encounter with it in the Weepinbell stage, where he used Weezing to battle and catch it. Despite this, Jessie and Meowth forced him to make the trade anyway, though he was very unhappy about doing so.

Later in that same episode, the Weepinbell unexpectedly evolved into another Victreebel while battling Ash and {{an|Casey}}. Immediately after evolving, the new Victreebel chomped down on Jessie, which caused her to order Arbok to send it flying, to James's dismay. At the same time, the Magikarp Salesman kicked James's first Victreebel away, coming to the realization that it won't obey him. The two Victreebel collided in midair, falling in love with each other at first sight. They were last seen skipping off together into the forest.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
James mentioned Victreebel in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' while Carnivine was biting on his head, stating that it wasn't the only Pokémon that showed affection towards him in such a manner.

James also briefly mentioned his Victreebel in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener]]'' when [[Gardenia]] mentioned the species as one of her favorites. She even offered to trade her own Victreebel to James for his Carnivine, but he declined.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:James and Victreebel.png|thumb|220px|Victreebel showing its affection]]
Victreebel has great affection for James, and was never shy about showing it by chomping down on him whenever sent out of its Poké Ball. Occasionally, it would instead chomp down on {{MTR}}, [[Jessie]], or even [[Jessie's Arbok]] instead of James, which implies that its affection wasn't just for James, but for the team as a whole. Victreebel's decidedly unique means of showing affection marked the beginning of the {{cat|anime running gags|running gag}} of James's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon attacking him whenever sent out. Despite the minor mayhem its displays of affection would cause, it would always follow James's orders in battle without question, showing undying loyalty to its Trainer.

In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James's various flashbacks of Victreebel indicated that the two of them spent a lot of time together, with James understanding the friendly intentions behind Victreebel's constant chomping. One such flashback showed Victreebel choosing to chomp James's head before eating the food before it, showing that it was by no means ungrateful for everything James did for it. Later in the episode, Victreebel did not react well to being traded, and showed a complete refusal to accept the [[Magikarp salesman]] as its new Trainer, once again showing complete loyalty to James, which in turn caused the Magikarp salesman to release it once he realized Victreebel wouldn't listen to him.

==Trivia==
[[File:Weepinbell and Weezing.png|thumb|200px|James using {{TP|James|Weezing}} to catch Weepinbell]]
* Victreebel is James's first {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Victreebel's tendency to chomp down on James's head started the trend of many of James's Pokémon showing affection in painful ways.
* Although Victreebel debuted in Kanto, it did not use any actual attacks until the anime was focused on the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. This was also the case with [[Jessie's Lickitung]].
* Victreebel is well known for emitting a high-pitched shriek as its cry, making it one of the few Pokémon that does not utter its own name in the anime.
** However, in its debut episode, Victreebel instead would say "Bel" as its cry. This was the only time it was voiced by Eric Stuart.
* Victreebel is James's only Pokémon that he has battled before catching it.

'''The Official Pokémon Handbook''' by [[Maria S. Barbo]] is a handbook that was published by [[Scholastic]] in July 1999, advertised as "your complete companion to all 150 Pokémon characters!" to serve as a rudimentary, paper version of a [[Pokédex]]. Despite this, and like many printed Pokémon books, it has multiple errors and misprints. Its first two versions contain entries for each of the original 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. The Deluxe Collector's Edition, published on November 1, 1999, features extra content and entries for {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Togepi}}.

|}

==Entries==
The entries for the Pokémon are structured in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself or shares a page with another member of its evolutionary family.

Each entry is topped with a large box containing the Pokémon's name and [[National Pokédex]] number. The color of the box reflects the featured Pokémon's [[type]].

Stock artwork of each Pokémon is the main focus of its entry page. Underneath the picture is a short description about the Pokémon that is similar to a Pokédex entry. Occasionally, a page will also contain a "Pokédex Pick," which is additional information about the Pokémon, often an anecdote about the Pokémon's appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The sidebar of each entry contains the following stats:
* Pronunciation
* [[Type|Element]]
* [[Pokémon category|Type]]
* Height (in inches)
* Weight (in pounds)
* Techniques ([[move]]s the Pokémon will already know)
* Other Techniques (moves the Pokémon will learn as it levels up)
* Good Against (lists what type advantages it has over other Pokémon)
* Bad Against (type disadvantages against other Pokémon)
* Evolution (Normal, Stone, Trade, or None)
* Evolves at Level: __
Levels are not given for when Pokémon will learn techniques, although they are listed in the order in which they are learned. Moves that can be learned from [[TM]]s are not listed.

At the very bottom of the entry there are evolution chains to show the Pokémon's [[evolutionary family]]. Pokémon that do not evolve or have not yet been revealed to evolve do not show an evolution chain.

==Other content==
The book has an introductory chapter titled "A Word From [[Professor Oak]]". The chapter describes the premise of the handbook and the Pokémon world in general (this information is largely influenced by anime [[canon]]). It also contains a preface called ''The Pokémon Journey'', an illustrated map of the [[Kanto]] region, and another preface, ''Battle Basics'', as well as a ''How to use this book'' diagram.

At the end of the book, there is a list of ''Top 10 Ways to Care for your Pokémon'', ''Secrets of the Gym Leaders'', ''Meet the Elite Four'', some FAQs, information about {{p|Togepi}}, a sneak peek of Generation II Pokémon, and a checklist for catching all the Generation I Pokémon and Togepi. The Deluxe Collector's Edition also has information on characters from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

===Blurb===

==Errors==
* {{p|Venusaur}}'s entry lists its "element" as {{2t|Grass|Poison}}, but also lists its element as "Seed", which should refer to {{pkmn|category}}, not its type.
* In {{p|Beedrill}}'s entry, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled "Pychic."
* {{p|Pikachu}}'s entry states that the whole species naturally dislikes being held inside [[Poké Ball]]s, but this should refer only to [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* {{p|Raichu}}'s entry lists its "evolution" as normal despite requiring a Thunder Stone. In the book, "normal" evolutions occur from leveling up.
* {{p|Meowth}}'s entry says it is the only species that can {{pkmn2|Talking|talk to humans}}, but only one known {{MTR}} can do so and only because he taught himself. Furthermore, many other Pokémon are capable of speech, telepathically or otherwise.
* {{p|Lickitung}}'s entry mistakes the effects of {{m|Wrap}} with {{m|Supersonic}} and vice versa.
* {{p|Koffing}}'s page notes that [[James]] said Koffing "smells like old sneakers soaked in stinkbug juice mixed with some rotten eggs and dead fish with just a touch of skunk fumes!", but he was referring to {{p|Gloom}} in the episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* In the first edition and early printings of the second, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s entries state that they do not evolve, yet both contain an evolution chain graphic suggesting that the former evolves into the latter. Later printings and the Deluxe Collector's Edition fix this.
* On {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s page, its right arm is the same color as its "clothes."
* {{p|Mew}}'s page says "Techniques: NONE" even though it Learns {{m|Pound}} at level 1, nor is Pound listed in Mew's other techniques.
* The Gym Leader section mistakes [[Misty]] as [[Celadon City]]'s Gym leader and [[Erika]] as [[Cerulean City]]'s.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Ash's profile lists both {{AP|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Lapras}} as being in his party despite the fact that by the time Ash caught Lapras, Pidgeot had already left the team and should therefore have been on the list of the other Pokémon he used to own.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Sabrina's profile states that "a very goofy {{p|Gengar}} taught her to smile" instead of {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}.
* [[Agatha]]'s profile lists {{p|Gengar}} twice instead of saying two Gengar.
* The moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} do not appear in the first edition.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, the index lists Togepi on page 133, but it is actually on page 155.
* The back cover asks "''Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Poliwag}}?''" Poliwag actually evolves into Poliwhirl, not from it.
* On the back of the Deluxe Collector's Edition, it says ''All you ever wanted to know about Pokémon Trainers {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{TRT}}, and more!'' However, Team Rocket is a villainous team, not a Pokémon Trainer.

== Victreebel's 'affection' ==

Is it actually stated in any episode that Victreebel is displaying its affection for James, rather than actually ''attacking'' James? Victreebel is always scowling when it bites James, even though it has been shown to display other emotions in the anime, and the second Victreebel also attacks Jessie, within the same episode it is captured, so it's not unique to James's Victreebel. Plus its Red & Blue Pokedex entries imply that they eat people. Cacnea and Carnivine may be showing their love of James when they jump on him, but Victreebel is a different Pokemon.

4Corry: /* Changed my Edit */

I was told when making an edit with the missing pokemon that it was removed because the book only contains Pokemon that are from Diamon and Pearl. Well you can get magnezone etc. in Diamond and Pearl but Magnezone is not in the handbook so why is Magnezone said to not be from Diamond and Pearl.

The article says: "Though the Pokémon are supposed to be listed in alphabetical order, Steelix and Spiritomb are listed before Staraptor."
But Spiritomb actually does come before Staraptor in alphabetical order. {{unsigned|KurowaSan}}
:True, I'll fix that. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 23:39, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

== Changed my Edit ==

I was told that the reason Pokemon such as Magnezone are not in the Sinnoh Handbook because they are exclusive to Platinum, However Magnezone Etc. are in Diamond and Pearl and are not in the Sinnoh Handbook. So why can't I say that they are excluded from this handbook. 4Corry 8/17/2016

'''The Official Pokémon Handbook''' by [[Maria S. Barbo]] is a handbook that was published by [[Scholastic]] in July 1999, advertised as "your complete companion to all 150 Pokémon characters!" to serve as a rudimentary, paper version of a [[Pokédex]]. Despite this, and like many printed Pokémon books, it has multiple errors and misprints. Its first two versions contain entries for each of the original 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. The Deluxe Collector's Edition, published on November 1, 1999, features extra content and entries for {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Togepi}}.

==Entries==
The entries for the Pokémon are structured in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself or shares a page with another member of its evolutionary family.

Each entry is topped with a large box containing the Pokémon's name and [[National Pokédex]] number. The color of the box reflects the featured Pokémon's [[type]].

Stock artwork of each Pokémon is the main focus of its entry page. Underneath the picture is a short description about the Pokémon that is similar to a Pokédex entry. Occasionally, a page will also contain a "Pokédex Pick," which is additional information about the Pokémon, often an anecdote about the Pokémon's appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The sidebar of each entry contains the following stats:
* Pronunciation
* [[Type|Element]]
* [[Pokémon category|Type]]
* Height (in inches)
* Weight (in pounds)
* Techniques ([[move]]s the Pokémon will already know)
* Other Techniques (moves the Pokémon will learn as it levels up)
* Good Against (lists what type advantages it has over other Pokémon)
* Bad Against (type disadvantages against other Pokémon)
* Evolution (Normal, Stone, Trade, or None)
* Evolves at Level: __
Levels are not given for when Pokémon will learn techniques, although they are listed in the order in which they are learned. Moves that can be learned from [[TM]]s are not listed.

At the very bottom of the entry there are evolution chains to show the Pokémon's [[evolutionary family]]. Pokémon that do not evolve or have not yet been revealed to evolve do not show an evolution chain.

==Other content==
The book has an introductory chapter titled "A Word From [[Professor Oak]]". The chapter describes the premise of the handbook and the Pokémon world in general (this information is largely influenced by anime [[canon]]). It also contains a preface called ''The Pokémon Journey'', an illustrated map of the [[Kanto]] region, and another preface, ''Battle Basics'', as well as a ''How to use this book'' diagram.

At the end of the book, there is a list of ''Top 10 Ways to Care for your Pokémon'', ''Secrets of the Gym Leaders'', ''Meet the Elite Four'', some FAQs, information about {{p|Togepi}}, a sneak peek of Generation II Pokémon, and a checklist for catching all the Generation I Pokémon and Togepi. The Deluxe Collector's Edition also has information on characters from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Errors==
* {{p|Venusaur}}'s entry lists its "element" as {{2t|Grass|Poison}}, but also lists its element as "Seed", which should refer to {{pkmn|category}}, not its type.
* In {{p|Beedrill}}'s entry, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled "Pychic".
* {{p|Pikachu}}'s entry states that the whole species naturally dislikes being held inside [[Poké Ball]]s, but this should refer only to [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* {{p|Raichu}}'s entry lists its "evolution" as normal when its evolution is by the Thunder Stone and evolution is listed as normal on the final evolution of Pokemon which evolve from leveling up.
* {{p|Meowth}}'s entry mentions that it is the only species that can {{pkmn2|Talking|speak human language}}, but the only {{MTR}} with this trait belongs to {{TRT}}, and only because he taught himself. Furthermore, other Pokémon are capable of speech, telepathically or otherwise.
* {{p|Lickitung}}'s entry states that it will confuse its opponent with its {{m|Wrap}} technique and then attack a maximum of five times with its {{m|Supersonic}} instead of the other way around.
* {{p|Koffing}}'s page notes that [[James]] said Koffing "smells like old sneakers soaked in stinkbug juice mixed with some rotten eggs and dead fish with just a touch of skunk fumes!", but he was referring to {{p|Gloom}} when he said this in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* In the first edition and early printings of the second, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s entries state that they do not evolve, yet both contain an evolution chain graphic suggesting that the former evolves into the latter. Later printings and the Deluxe Collector's Edition fix this.
* On Hitmonchan's page, its right arm is the same color as its "clothes."
* The Gym Leader section erroneously lists [[Misty]] as [[Celadon City]]'s Gym leader and [[Erika]] as [[Cerulean City]]'s.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Ash's profile lists both {{AP|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Lapras}} as being in his party despite the fact that by the time Ash caught Lapras, Pidgeot had already left the team and should therefore have been on the list of the other Pokémon he used to own.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Sabrina's profile states that "a very goofy {{p|Gengar}} taught her to smile" when it was a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} that did this.
* The moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} do not appear in the first edition.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, the index lists Togepi on page 133, but it is actually on page 155.
* The back cover asks "''Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Poliwag}}?''" Poliwag actually evolves into Poliwhirl, not from it.
* On the back of the Deluxe Collector's Edition, it says ''All you ever wanted to know about Pokémon Trainers {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{TRT}}, and more!'' However, Team Rocket is a villainous team, not a Pokémon Trainer.
