'''''Pokémon Sinnoh Handbook''''' by [[Tracey West]] and [[Katherine Noll]] is an edition of ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'' series that was published in September 2007. It served as a paper form of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and contained an entry for all the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon. The front cover has pictures of the [[first partner Pokémon]] ({{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Turtwig}}) that one can choose from in the Diamond and Pearl games. There was a shorter version for schools serviced by [[Scholastic]]; it omitted Pokémon found only in {{v2|Platinum}} and the [[legendary Pokémon]] not found in [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|either regional Pokédex]] ({{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, etc.). | |||
