-'''Pokémon World''' is a fully independent, UK-based, monthly magazine that gives out information about new games, mostly upcoming Pokémon ones. It is known to spell the names of Pokémon wrong occasionally and sometimes give misleading information, such as leading up to the release of Pokémon Emerald, it stated the player would be able to buy and change clothing in-game, when really the protagonists were just given new, green-colored clothing; it also relies on websites such as Bulbapedia and [[Serebii.net]] for its information.
+'''Pokémon World''' is a fully independent, unofficial, UK-based, four-weekly magazine that gives out information about new games, mostly upcoming Pokémon ones. It also has sections showing debates from certain forums over different subjects dealing with Pokémon. In addition, there are sections for fanart, letters asking questions about the [[Pokémon games]], pullout posters of Pokémon and characters, and fan-fiction.
-It had a section showing debates from certain forums over different subjects dealing with Pokémon. In addition, there are sections for fanart, letters asking questions about the [[Pokémon games]], pullout posters of Pokémon and characters, and most recently: fan-fiction.
+They have recently added a Pokémon challenge section in which people with a Pokémon game can battle a Pokémon World employee over Wi-Fi with the results printed in the magazine the next mouth, moved from another unofficial UK Nintendo magazine after it closed down<!--I can't remember which, it's either NGC, CUBE or NGamer-->.
-They have recently added a Pokémon challenge section in which people with a Pokémon game can battle a Pokémon world employee over Wi-Fi with the results printed in the magazine the next mouth.
+As of April 2011 there are 115 issues, as well as various mooks containing collections of puzzles or Pokedex information previously published.
-It was released in the United States in April 2010 at Borders locations.
+Each issue of the magazine usually comes with at least two free gifts, for example calendars, sweets and stationary sets.
-the magazine usually comes with lots of free gifts and information about [[Pokémon games]] and is usually quite up to date, Pokémon world can be a little deceiving when it comes to Wi-Fi events, it can get the dates of when the events start and end wrong, like when they said a Mew was available for download via Wi-Fi from October the 15th in the November issue and was still available, when the event really ended
-October 30th, it also seems deceiving that Pokémon fans buy Pokémon world every month when
-they can get all the information off [[serebii.net]] or [[Bulbapedia]] for free, while this is quite deceiving, the magazine is very popular.
-The magazine is made by a group of Pokémon fans and published by imagineshop, the magazine claims it is unofficial, the magazine cannot be official for 2 reasons, firstly [[serebii.net]] launched a official Pokémon magazine near the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, so
+A lot of indepth information in the magazine about the games usually comes from [[Serebii.net]], whom they have an affiliation with the webmaster of. They have also been known to copy information from [[Bulbapedia]]. It is known to spell the names of Pokémon wrong occasionally and sometimes give misleading information, such as leading up to the release of Pokémon Emerald, it stated the player would be able to buy and change clothing in-game, when really the protagonists were just given new, green-colored clothing. Due to the time taken to prepare and publish the magazine, sometimes the information contained in it can be up to a month out of date, for example giving wrong dates for events, or only announcing them after they had already finished. Issue 114 announces both that Pokémon Black and White branded DSis have no news of a European release, and at the same time advertises their European release.
-[[serebii.net]] has rights to it, the second reason is that Nintendo don't want people revealing information to the public about upcoming Pokémon games apart from "CoroCoro" and "The Official Nintendo Magazine".
-The magazine is also known for being more expensive, and for being the size of a weekly publication like {{wp|Nuts (magazine)|Nuts}} rather than a monthly one like {{wp|Men's Health (British magazine)|Mens Health}}. The magazine is usually priced between £3.50 to £4 in the UK, similar to the prices of the larger, monthly magazines.
+It was released in the United States in April 2010 at Borders locations.
