At the beginning of the book there is an introductory chapter titled "A Word From [[Professor Oak]]". The chapter describes the premise of the handbook and of the Pokémon world in general (this information is largely influenced by anime [[canon]]). There are also organized lists of Pokémon by type (dual-type Pokémon are given dual-type listings, often causing a list heading to contain only one Pokémon). | At the beginning of the book there is an introductory chapter titled "A Word From [[Professor Oak]]".

The last two pages contain a checklist of all the [[Generation I]] Pokémon and the 33 new Pokémon (despite the fact that the 33 Generation II Pokémon are unobtainable in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} and the list is far from complete if used for the {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold and Silver|s}} versions). | ||

*{{p|Marill}}'s page accidentally refers to it as "{{p|Mareep}}" in its description. | |||
*{{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Stantler}} have the non-existent move "Sand Throw" listed, presumably a misprint of {{m|Sand Attack}}. Gligar's moveset also has {{m|Bite}}, which it cannot learn, listed among its attacks. | |||
*{{p|Blissey}}'s moveset lists "Egg Recover", presumably a combination of {{m|Recover}} and {{m|Egg Bomb}}. | |||
*{{p|Ho-Oh}}'s moveset contains {{m|Mist}} despite it never being able to learn that move, as well as the non-existent move "Normal". Also, {{m|AncientPower}} is spelled with a space (though that would be its correct spelling from [[Generation VI]] onwards). | |||
