Dive into the fascinating world of Pokémon with the upcoming release of an official encyclopedia, crafted by leading animal ecologists. Here's everything you need to know about Pokécology and what to expect from this groundbreaking book.
The Pokémon Company, in partnership with the esteemed Japanese comic publisher Shogakukan, is set to launch an official encyclopedia dedicated to the behaviors and ecology of Pokémon. Shogakukan made the exciting announcement on their website on April 21, revealing that Pokécology will hit the shelves in Japan on June 18, 2025.
Pre-orders for this eagerly anticipated book are now open at bookstores across Japan. Priced at 1,430 yen (tax included), Pokécology promises to be a valuable addition to any Pokémon fan's collection. While there's no official word yet on a global release, given the worldwide popularity of Pokémon, fans can look forward to an English version in the near future.
Pokécology will delve deep into the ecology of Pokémon, offering a comprehensive analysis of these beloved creatures from various scientific angles. The book will explore aspects such as diet, sleep patterns, physical characteristics, and how Pokémon interact with each other and their environment.
This unique encyclopedia is the result of collaboration with top veterinary behaviorists and ecology experts from the University of Tokyo. Ecologist Yoshinari Yonehara, the book's lead author, spearheaded the research into the behaviors of wild Pokémon. Complementing the detailed text, renowned illustrator Chihiro Kino, known for her work on animal ecology books, will bring Pokémon to life with stunning full-color illustrations.
While Pokémon has previously released numerous hardcover books covering stats, battle techniques, stories, and game guides, Pokécology marks a pioneering effort to focus on the biology and ecology of these iconic creatures. This book offers an excellent opportunity for fans, especially younger audiences, to gain a deeper understanding of the Pokémon world.
