-'''The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide''' (ISBN 1421523256 and ISBN 1421523264) is a guide published by [[VIZ Media]]. It contains information on all 491 Pokémon revealed to date (excluding {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} as they had not yet been officially revealed by [[Nintendo]]). Each Pokémon's page has an illustration, a description, and a list of its [[moves]], special [[ability|abilities]], and any evolutions that it may have. It is split into two volumes: volume one covers the first 245 Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Suicune}}) and the rest are in volume two ({{p|Larvitar}} to {{p|Darkrai}}).
+'''The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide''' is a guide published by [[VIZ Media]]. It contains information on all 491 Pokémon revealed to date (excluding {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}} as they had not yet been officially revealed by [[Nintendo]]), which, however, are included as a poster in re-print. Each Pokémon's page has an illustration, a description, a list of some of the [[move]]s it may possess, special [[ability|abilities]], and any evolutions that it may have. It is split into two volumes: volume one covers the first 245 Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Suicune}}) and the rest are in volume two ({{p|Larvitar}} to {{p|Darkrai}}). Volume 1 is 248 pages in length, and Volume 2 is 251 pages in length.
-Both volumes were published simultaneously on October 14, 2008.
+VIZ Media reprinted these books individually on January 10, 2017, and in a box set on February 14, 2017.

+==Trivia==
+* There is information in this book not seen in other sources, such as saying {{p|Infernape}}'s flames cannot be extinguished as long as it is alive.
+*{{p|Remoraid}}'s page features artwork of {{p|Mantine}} as one of the pictures for Remoraid.
+*The cover of both books read ''From Abra to Zubat'', however, {{p|Abomasnow}} comes before Abra alphabetically.
-==Errors==
+===Errors===
+====First volume====
+*On {{p|Wigglytuff}}'s description, the move {{m|DoubleSlap}} is misspelled as 'Doubleslap'.
+*On {{p|Voltorb}}'s description, Poké Ball is misspelled as 'Pokéball'.
+*On {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s description, the move DoubleSlap is misspelled as 'Doubleslap'.
+*On {{p|Scyther}}'s description, Scyther is incorrectly pluralized as 'Scythers'.
+*On {{p|Pinsir}}'s "Special Moves" section, no actual moves are listed; instead only its name, ''Pinsir'', is displayed.
+*On {{p|Xatu}}'s description, it mistakenly refers to Xatu as {{p|Natu}}, its pre-evolution's name, in the first sentence.
+*On {{p|Azumarill}}'s description, it can be presumed that when 'i's' is written, the term 'it's' was meant.

+*On {{p|Marowak}}'s page, its height and weight is the same as {{p|Cubone}}'s. This is incorrect, as Marowak's actual height is 3' 3" and its actual weight is 99.2 pounds.

+*{{p|Swampert}}'s weight is listed in the book as 14.3 pounds, but Swampert's weight is actually 180.6 pounds.

+*{{p|Claydol}} is listed as a {{t|Water}} and {{type|Psychic}}.
+* On {{p|Weavile}}'s description, the phrase "each other" is mistakenly written backwards as "other each".
+* On {{p|Electivire}}'s page, {{p|Electabuzz}} is highlighted in the evolution line when Electivire should have been highlighted.
