The Official Pokémon Handbook #3 edited by Josh Izzo and Stephanie Howze is a handbook that was published in September 2001, and is one of the sequels to The Official Pokémon Handbook. It served as a paper form of the Johto Pokédex. It contained an entry for all the Generation II Pokémon, excluding Celebi.
Entries
Each Pokémon with an entry either shares a page of the book with one other Pokémon or has a page to itself.
Name
Each entry is topped with a large, odd-shaped box. It has the Pokémon's name, Pokédex number, and which Pokémon it is (Ex: The Aquamouse Pokémon). On the side of the page is a section that has many facts about the Pokémon itself. Other features include a summary, a picture of the Pokémon, and various sprites of that Pokemon.
Stats
On the side of the pages, the entries list the following stats:
- Pronunciation
- Element
- Height (in inches and feet)
- Weight (in pounds)
- Techniques (The basic and most commonly used moves of that Pokémon)
- Evolution (Either "_____ evolves into _____" or "None")
Note that some of these stats have been changed in the third or fourth Generations.
Techniques and Other Techniques are not listed with the levels at which they are learned, and not all the moves the Pokémon uses appear.
Image and other information
Each Pokémon has a picture on its page and some pages also feature a "Pokédex Pick," with extra facts about the Pokemon that will cross over in the anime or sometimes have helpful information.
Evolution chain
At the very bottom of the entry there are pictures with arrows between them to show what the Pokémon evolves into. Pokémon that do not evolve do not have an Evolution Chain.
Other content
Besides the entries on each Pokémon, the book includes A word from Professor Oak, similar to his speeches that welcomed players into games, but has an extended duration. It also features a Johto Region map with a brief summary about the region. There are also Johto and Indigo League comparisons that compare Badges, amount needed etc. There is also a couple of pages in it to read up about Pokémon types, that show the types of Pokémon 1-250. At the end of the book, it has pictures and scenes from the Pokémon anime. The last three pages have a Pokemon checklist, and a brief story about the missing Pokémon not featured in the book. (Celebi).
