==Errors==
==Errors==
* In Beedrill's entry, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled "Pychic".
* {{p|Venusaur}}'s entry lists its "element" as {{2t|Grass|Poison}}, but also lists its element as "Seed", which should refer to {{pkmn|category}}, not its type.
* In {{p|Beedrill}}'s entry, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled "Pychic."
* {{p|Pikachu}}'s entry states that the whole species naturally dislikes being held inside [[Poké Ball]]s, but this should refer only to [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* {{p|Raichu}}'s entry lists its "evolution" as normal despite requiring a Thunder Stone. In the book, "normal" evolutions occur from leveling up.
* {{p|Meowth}}'s entry says it is the only species that can {{pkmn2|Talking|talk to humans}}, but only one known {{MTR}} can do so and only because he taught himself. Furthermore, many other Pokémon are capable of speech, telepathically or otherwise.
* {{p|Lickitung}}'s entry mistakes the effects of {{m|Wrap}} with {{m|Supersonic}} and vice versa.
* {{p|Koffing}}'s page notes that [[James]] said Koffing "smells like old sneakers soaked in stinkbug juice mixed with some rotten eggs and dead fish with just a touch of skunk fumes!", but he was referring to {{p|Gloom}} in the episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* In the first edition and early printings of the second, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s entries state that they do not evolve, yet both contain an evolution chain graphic suggesting that the former evolves into the latter. Later printings and the Deluxe Collector's Edition fix this.

* Koffing's page notes that James said Koffing "smells like old sneakers soaked in stinkbug juice mixed with some rotten eggs and dead fish with just a touch of skunk fumes!", but he was referring to {{p|Gloom}} when he said this in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* On {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s page, its right arm is the same color as its "clothes."
* In {{p|Lapras}}'s entry, its lower jaw is colored blue instead of cream.
* {{p|Mew}}'s page says "Techniques: NONE" even though it Learns {{m|Pound}} at level 1, nor is Pound listed in Mew's other techniques.
* In Lickitung's entry, it states that it will confuse its opponent with its {{m|Wrap}} technique and then attack a maximum of five times with its {{m|Supersonic}} instead of the other way around.
* The Gym Leader section mistakes [[Misty]] as [[Celadon City]]'s Gym leader and [[Erika]] as [[Cerulean City]]'s.
* {{p|Pikachu}}'s entry states that its whole species naturally dislikes being held inside [[Poké Ball]]s, but this should refer to [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Ash's profile lists both {{AP|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Lapras}} as being in his party despite the fact that by the time Ash caught Lapras, Pidgeot had already left the team and should therefore have been on the list of the other Pokémon he used to own.
* The entry for {{p|Venusaur}} lists its element as {{2t|Grass|Poison}}, but also lists its element as "Seed". This is a misprint, as "seed" refers to its [[species]], not its type.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Sabrina's profile states that "a very goofy {{p|Gengar}} taught her to smile" instead of {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}.
* {{p|Meowth}}'s entry mentions that it is the only species that can [[Talking Pokémon|speak a human language]]. The only {{MTR}} with this trait belongs to {{TRT}}. Furthermore, other Pokémon are capable of speech, telepathically or otherwise.
* [[Agatha]]'s profile lists {{p|Gengar}} twice instead of saying two Gengar.
* The moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} do not appear in the first edition.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, the index lists Togepi on page 133, but it is actually on page 155.   
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, the index lists Togepi on page 133, but it is actually on page 155.   
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Ash's profile lists both {{AP|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Lapras}} as being in his party, despite the fact that by the time Lapras was caught by Ash, Pidgeot had already left the team and should therefore have been on the list of the other Pokémon he used to own.
* The Gym Leader section erroneously lists [[Misty]] as [[Celadon City]]'s Gym leader and [[Erika]] as [[Cerulean City]]'s.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Sabrina's profile states that "a very goofy Gengar taught her to smile" when it was [[Sabrina's Haunter|a Haunter]] that did this.
* The moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} do not appear in the first edition.
* The back cover asks "''Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Poliwag}}?''" Poliwag actually evolves into Poliwhirl, not from it.
* The back cover asks "''Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Poliwag}}?''" Poliwag actually evolves into Poliwhirl, not from it.
* On the back of the Deluxe Collector's Edition, it says ''All you ever wanted to know about Pokémon Trainers {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{TRT}}, and more!'' However, Team Rocket is a villainous team, not a Pokémon Trainer.
