Official Pokemon Handbooks That Are WRONG

I suspected there would be even more mistakes in here that I didn't catch, and I was right! Gyarados Gaming pointed out that at 10:37, Nincada is listed as a Psychic type 😂

On the trapinch page it says that one of the moves it can learn is called “sand”. Ah yes, sand, one of the best moves a Pokémon can learn.

I have an italian official Emerald guide that says: "The Masterball is an unique item, that can catch pokemon with 100% accuracy. Use it on rare pokemon, like Fearow or Loudred!"

It’s a shame the starter’s pages were taken out of the deluxe hand book because I distinctly remember Bulbasaur’s “element” being listed as “seed” the same as it’s “type”

The word official on a Pokemon handbook means the same as the word organic on a food label.

"Cubone - Type: Lonely" They don't have to do Cubone like that lol.

9:58 Ah yes, Torchic - the fire-type starter learns poison sting, supersonic and hydro pump. How could I forget?

Something extra strange about the whole Gary thing in the first book is that by the time Ash had gotten to Hoenn, Gary had already retired as a trainer to become a researcher.

I love how confident they are in the incorrect information

I totally forgot the gen 1 Pokemon Handbook existed, I remember owning that when I was like 8 years old; good memories!

Pokémon Ruby: What? Ralts is evolving! Pokémon handbook: A Foolish Miscalculation!

you know what, i think a lot of the common mistakes that are stuck in my brain are because of these books. i used to rent them from the library and read them front to back and i dont think i realized that they had incorrect information on them and im realizing this just now as you talk about how wurmple evolves because i literally STILL think its a day/night thing.

So, from what I understand, in the anime, the winner of the Pokémon League tournament for a region gets the chance to fight against the Elite Four. By winning against the Elite Four, you are then permitted to challenge the Champion. A person who defeats the Champion this way or an Elite Four Member who defeats the Champion this way becomes the new Champion for that region’s league. Either that, or the winner enters a smaller tournament consisting of themself, the Elite Four, and the Champion, and the winner of this mini-tournament is the champion.

Trapinch and Ralts evolution: Exist Pokémon handbook: let’s pretend we didn’t see that

Oh yeah, I remember running into a booklet like this. It claimed Latios and Latias were results of Togepi and Lugia crossbreeding. ...What?

The second book you showed was sold at the scholastic book fair that came to my elementary school in like 1999. Every kid got this book and it blew everyone away that Pideot was pronounced Pid-jit.

I tried searching for some mistakes and I found this. If you look in the first handbook, it says that Salamence is a pure dragon type. Not dragon flying, just pure dragon. Lol

The Pokemon Handbook: *says that Ralts dosen't evolve* Michael: A fOoLiSh MiScAlCuLaTiOn...

“*ralts does not evolve”* Nintendo: yep seems official

I can only assume that with the Ralts and Trapinch "Does not evolve" conundrum was caused by the author either having the two equipped with Everstones, or Kirlia and Vibrava were caught separately from the base Pokemon.
