** Similarly, the book states that not healing a fainted Pokémon immediately or leaving it fainted will decrease friendship. While friendship does decrease when a Pokémon faints, leaving it fainted for an extended period of time will not decrease friendship further; nor is it affected by taking damage in battle at all, as long as the Pokémon does not faint.

* On page 8, it is stated that male Pokémon tend to have a higher attack stat than female Pokémon and female Pokémon tend to have a higher defense stat than male Pokémon.  In reality, gender is only based on the Attack IVs of the Pokémon for non-female only lines.
* On page 40, it is stated that the {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Sun Stone}} can be used to evolve {{p|Vileplume}} into {{p|Bellossom}}. In reality, it is {{p|Gloom}} that evolves into Bellossom by use of the Sun Stone.

* On page 46, it is stated that the [[MooMoo Farm]] sells "Milk" for {{PDollar}}500.  The name of the item is actually [[MooMoo Milk]].
* On page 54, it is stated that one of the [[Apricorn]] trees contains a "Peach Apricorn" for {{PDollar}}500.  The name of the item is actually [[Pink Apricorn|Pnk Apricorn]].
* On page 55, it is stated that this is the first Route that contains {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Aipom}}.  However, these Pokémon can be obtained from {{rtn|29|Johto}} to {{rtn|33|Johto}}, all of which are accessible with backtracking as soon as the player can obtain {{TM|02|Headbutt}}.
* On page 78, it is stated that you can obtain an [[Up-Grade]] in [[Silph Co.]].  However, the item is incorrectly formatted as "Up-grade" instead throughout the book.
* On page 86, the description box for Mr. Mime misses a space in the sentence, "TheGold/Silver Mr. Mime has a bunch of new moves [...]."
* On page 93, it is stated that the Gym Leader for the Viridian Gym will not return until you beat the other Kanto Gym Leaders.  In reality, the only requirement in [[Generation II]] is to speak to {{ga|Blue}} on [[Cinnabar Island]].
* On page 103, it is stated that {{p|Slowbro}} evolves into {{p|Slowking}} when traded holding a King's Rock. In reality, it is {{p|Slowpoke}} that evolves into Slowking by this method.

* On page 105, it is stated that if a {{p|Kadabra}} is captured wild in {{v|Yellow}} and traded to Gold & Silver, it will be holding a "Bent Spoon". The name of the item is actually {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Twisted Spoon|TwistedSpoon}}.
* On page 105, the book states that wild {{p|Chansey}} may be found holding an "Egg". The name of the item is actually called [[Lucky Egg]].
* On page 105, the book states that wild {{p|Marowak}} may be found holding a "Thick Bone". While the English name of the item is actually the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, the Japanese name is "Thick Bone", so this may be a translation error.
* On page 105, the book states that wild {{p|Marowak}} may be found holding a "Thick Bone". While the English name of the item is actually the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, the Japanese name is "Thick Bone", so this may be a translation error.
* On page 105, it is stated that wild {{p|Doduo}} and {{p|Dodrio}} may be found holding a "Razor Talon".  The first error is that the name of the item is actually {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Sharp Beak}}.  The second is that wild Doduo cannot be found holding a Sharp Beak.  Instead, it is {{p|Fearow}}, in addition to Dodrio, that may hold one in the wild.
* On page 105, it is stated that Chansey's [[Lucky Punch]] will power up its moves.  Instead, the actual effect is to boost the [[critical hit]] ratio two stages.
* On page 105, it is stated that {{p|Jigglypuff}} traded from [[Generation I]] might come with an item to boost Normal-type moves better than the "Pink Ribbon."  The held item for Jigglypuff is not a ribbon, but the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Polkadot Bow}}; additionally, the name of the Pink Ribbon is actually the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Pink Bow}}.  In the Japanese version, these items were named the Polkadot Ribbon and the Pink Ribbon, respectively.  Both items have the same effect of boosting the power of Normal-type moves by 10% when held.
* On page 105, it is stated that {{p|Clefairy}} may hold a [[Leftovers]] when traded from Generation I.  Instead, it is {{p|Clefable}} that has a chance, not Clefairy.
* On page 105, it is stated that if a {{p|Kadabra}} is captured in the wild in {{v|Yellow}} and traded to Gold & Silver, it will be holding a "Bent Spoon". The name of the item is actually {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Twisted Spoon|TwistedSpoon}}.
