I happen to have a copy of this book I got from a Scholastic Book Fair ages ago that is a double feature, with the second DP chapter book, "The Lost Riolu," featured on the reverse side, that also came with a page of temporary tattoos that I never used. This may be a helpful resource. Red Knight (talk) 01:52, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

With regards to the trivia here

The trivia section states the following:

  • The book describes the ghost girl as possessing blue eyes with "an eerie gleam in them". This may or may not be true, as the ghost girl's eyes, if she possesses any, were not actually visible or discernible in her appearances in the episode. It may be noteworthy that the description of the ghost girl's eyes is detailed at a behind-the-scenes point in the book, preceding to the anime scene of Conway being found to be following the ghost girl, so it may be possible that the ghost girl possesses blue eyes only in the "canonity" of that moment in the book specifically.

However, the ghost girl's eyes actually are visible at exactly one point in the anime episode, and it is precisely at the same point that the book describes her eerie blue eyes. In that scene, her eyes briefly become visible as she lifts her head, and they are, indeed, a dark blue. Her eyes then flash magenta as she hypnotizes Conway. In light of this, I don't know how to resolve this error.

Should the blurb be its own section rather than a subsection of the plot summary?

I noticed on the page for The Lost Riolu that the blurb was in its own section, before the (currently empty) plot summary section. Should this be the case for this article as well, or should that article be changed to be more in line with this one?

I noticed that the pages for the anime episodes also have the blurb as its own section before the plot summary, so I decided to go ahead and make the change to bring this article in line with those.

ISBN is invalid and incorrect

I noticed that the ISBN listed in the sidebar was 12 characters, rather than the 10 or 13 ISBN numbers typically have. I pulled up isbnsearch.org and put in the listed ISBN (978054517721) followed by each possible digit. The only one of the 10 queries to give me a valid result was 9780545177214, which interestingly turned up the Pokémon Deluxe Activity Book: Johto Edition, also written by Katherine Fang and published by Scholastic.
