Dive into the fascinating world of Pokémon like never before with the upcoming official encyclopedia, crafted by renowned animal ecologists. Learn more about Pokécology and discover what this groundbreaking book has in store.
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 announcement on its website on April 21, revealing that Pokécology will hit the shelves in Japan on June 18, 2025.
You can now pre-order this exciting new book at bookstores across Japan. Priced at 1,430 yen (tax included), Pokécology is poised to become a must-have for Pokémon enthusiasts. While there has been no official word on a global release, given Pokémon's immense popularity worldwide, fans can anticipate an English version to be available in the near future.
This official Pokémon encyclopedia will delve deeply into the ecology of these beloved creatures, providing a comprehensive analysis from various scientific angles. Pokécology will explore the diet, sleep patterns, physical characteristics, and the intricate interactions Pokémon have with each other and their environment.
The book is a collaboration with leading experts from the University of Tokyo, including veterinary behaviorists and ecology doctors. Spearheading the research is ecologist Yoshinari Yonehara, who has analyzed the behaviors of wild Pokémon. Additionally, the book features stunning full-color illustrations by Chihiro Kino, an artist renowned for her work in animal ecology books.
Pokémon has a rich history of publishing hardcover books that cover everything from stats and battle techniques to engaging stories and game guides. However, Pokécology marks a significant departure by focusing on the biology and ecology of these iconic characters. This approach not only enriches fans' understanding but also serves as an educational tool, particularly for younger audiences, to learn more about the natural world through the lens of Pokémon.
