In 2004, a [[Pokémon Official Magazine]] was launched. It was intended to have a quarterly release schedule, but it was cancelled after its second issue due to low sales. In February 2013, Future Publishing announced that the Pokémon Official Magazine would be returning, with a publishing schedule of 13 issues per year.
