==Entries==
The entries for each Pokémon are in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with another Pokémon. The Pokémon's name is at the top of the entry, with the category written underneath it.

===Stats===
Each Pokémon has the following stats below its name:

# [[Type]]
# Description
# How to say it
# Height (imperial and metric)
# Weight (imperial and metric)
# Possible [[Move]]s (moves the Pokémon will learn by leveling up)

===Image and other information===
Each Pokémon has an {{pkmn|anime}}-style picture on its page. {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] are labeled as such along the outer margin of the page.

===Evolution chain===
At the very bottom of a Pokémon's entry is a diagram of its evolutionary family. Pokémon that do not evolve instead have the words "Does not evolve". A Pokémon that is on one side of a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolution]] will show itself, and the Pokémon it evolved from, but not the other side of the branch. Any evolutions or pre-evolutions introduced in later generations are not included. 

==Errors==
* {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s pages incorrectly state that the former evolves into the latter.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s entry lists {{m|Perish Song}} twice.
* {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s entry lists it as pure {{type|Psychic}} rather than {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}}. While Mr. Mime was a pure Psychic-type prior to [[Generation VI]], it no longer was at the time of this book's publication.
* The back cover states "Stats and facts on Pokémon, from Bulbasaur to Mewtwo", even though the last Pokémon listed is {{p|Mew}}.
* {{p|Poliwrath}}'s entry lists it as a pure {{type|Water}} rather than {{2t|Water|Fighting}}.
* {{p|Charizard}}'s entry lists it as a pure {{type|Fire}} rather than {{2t|Fire|Flying}}.
