New Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide Book and Limited Edition Box Set Releasing This August
Pokémon fans, it’s time to clear out some space on your bookshelf, as the shiny new Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide and its fancy Limited Edition Box Set Collection are set to be released on August 25. What a great way to celebrate the franchise’s 30th anniversary this year.
For those interested in just having the book for their library, it’s currently available to preorder for $59.99. However, if you want to go all-out with the big limited edition box set, this will cost you $199.99. It looks like it comes with some fun extras, though, which you can learn more about below.
The Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide, by Alex Irvine, is the ultimate pick-up for a Pokémon fan. It’s filled with 336 pages of details on Pokémon from every region, covering animation, video games, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and more. It even includes a foreword written by President and CEO of The Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara.
As for what’s on the outside, its cover and sides certainly give it a premium look. The page edges are shiny gold, while the cover features outlines of a variety of different Pokémon with splashes of gold against the white background (and a cute little Pikachu that stands out in the corner).
If you want to drop some cash on the limited edition box set instead, this nets you some extras alongside the book:
Like many limited edition items, there’s a chance it could sell out quite fast. So, if you’re hoping to have this deluxe box set, or just the Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide, in your library, it’s well worth it to get a preorder in now for it so you’re all set the day it releases in August.
