'''The Official Pokémon Handbook''' by [[Maria S. Barbo]] (ISBN 0439103975) 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. It contains an entry for each of the original 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. A Deluxe Collector's Edition was published later with entries for {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Togepi}}. | '''The Official Pokémon Handbook''' by [[Maria S.
