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 😂

Also, Torchic has Tentacool's moveset, and Linoone has a move called "Rushing". XD
Mere mortals who do not know what greatness pokemon is prob made it
LOL
thats an oof moment
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.
Ur profile pic genuinely made me laugh good job lol
I don't like sand... it's rough, coarse, and it gets everywhere.
Super effective on Anakin
Dale Gribble agrees
L.O.G Original channel I have heard that so many times before.Is it a reference?
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!"

@@perchinchatot probably because it's 'zwei' which is pronounced zvy and 'lous' which is pronounced lus. Lmao.
Yeah, that’s the correct pronunciation

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 believe the reason Gary is there is because in gen 3 and gen 1 I believe you could name blue different names and one of them was Gary
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.
Don't worry, it seems we are both dumbasses.
*TO BE FAIR*, wurmple being a day/night thing makes infinitely more sense than how it actually evolves...
Not to mention that was what you would see all over the internet at the time.

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.
I wonder if we'll ever get an anime episode where protagonist competes in the tournament, wins, and then battles/wins against the Elite 4 + Champion.
Maybe in the S/V anime since it has multiple Champions.
The Pokemon Handbook: **says that Ralts dosen't evolve**
Michael: A fOoLiSh MiScAlCuLaTiOn...

“*ralts does not evolve”*
Nintendo: yep seems official
Yes.
Yes normal af
Me who just evolved mine into kirlia
Nintendo: yeah Ralts doesn't evolve
but Gardivor and Kirlia should be on the same page
“Water Is Weak To Fire”
*Ah Yes This Floor Is Made Out Of Ceiling*
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.
yeah or the Kirlia and Vibrava were probably caught in fr/lg or emerald.
For trapinch it does look like it doesnt belong with the rest of the line so maybe thats why they said it doesnt evolve
Kirlia and Vibrava couldn't be caught in the wild at all in the third generation, so no idea what that's about. Maybe they were wild Pokemon in the anime, but...
But as KHfan pointed out, Trapinch does look wildly different than Vibrava and Flygon, and its level up moveset is pretty different too, so I can see the confusion there.
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
Hahaha i get the joke hahaha nice reference
So it's Salamence type
_It's super effective against the Palkia-Type!_
@@DragoSonicMileOh; good! It's about time something was weak to the Palkia Type! So, about the Dialga, Giratina and Mesprit Types; are all weak/strong to and/or against each other, I take it?

For some reason, in the Deluxe Essential Handbook, Sandile is listed as the "Desert Croc". Yes, just "DESERT CROC".
Hm yes, the best Pokémon. *DESERT CROC*
Sandile is not a pokemon confirmed.
I remember I had a Krookodile in pokemon white and named it Crocs. As in the shoes.

The "Pid-jit" one, at least for me, is from Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew where I think someone pronounces it like that. Or Pidgeot itself cries its own name like that. So until fairly recently, that was how I pronounced it because of that. Hadn't watched a lot of the anime, and that was one of the few Pokémon DVDs I had as a kid, since my mum brought it back from Bali when she went on a trip there with our neighbour she was friends with across the road.
Also Torchic had "Bubblebeam" listed as one of its moves at 9:56 when Mikey was flipping through the book.
Yeah, Torchic's move set is just straight up Tentacool's. Not even sure how that got in there...
12:50 Did no one notice that Salamence was called the “Blaze Pokemon” when its actually the “Dragon Pokemon”?

@@darkdragonx8753 where is that?
I remember a handbook from Gen 4 (I think) which was basically the Pokedex as a book, except alphabetically. It the showed the evoloutionary tree for Mew was Mew, Ditto, and Mewtwo. They explained that this evolution wasn't factual, but was a theory among scientists (in universe).
I think that Scholastic must have stumbled across some fan theories saying that scientists did tests on Mew which created Dittos and Mewtwo. It also said Geodude evolved into Onix lol
Its official. Next game with Pidgey, I'm naming it Pidjit

Don't worry, MandJTV is there for you.
There’s also the Sinnoh Handbook, which is also full of mistakes. For example, it says Mr. Mime can learn “Guard Spec.” However, a Guard Spec. is an item. It also tends to mix the games and anime like the second handbook in this video did.
Omg I had that handbook. They even called some pokemon by the wrong name entirely
Guard spec is the strongest attack. He he.
also in the same handbook, they misspelled sight for future sight on Mr. Mime.
I had that book and went ham on correcting it as a kid lol the hitmonlee evolution in that book was wrong and bugged me
Yeah I had that one too so weird
28:50 Man, this book was ahead of its time considering in Scarlet/Violet even Pokemon you caught yourself will disobey you if it's too high level when you caught it.

That first handbook is like a major trip down memory lane. It was the only one I ever actually owned and I had my parents order it for me when I was in grade school and I saw it in a Scholastic magazine that the school would get every month or so. We could order whatever books we wanted that were in the catalogues and could read them and had to take tests on the books we read for credits in some classes. I was a major bookworm back then, so I read like huge 1,000+ page books and would always get lots of credits and I actually found it really fun. All the Harry Potter books, all the Eragon books, all the Bobby Pendragon books and so many more.
I remember getting the official handbook when Diamond and Pearl were released as a kid. I was with my older sister at the Barnes and Nobles and begged her to buy it for me. It was a little over $10 so my sister had to break her $20 bill which annoyed her. I loved reading it front and back and just looking through it when I was bored. However i noticed it was filled with errors: spelling errors, wrong evolution charts etc. Later they released a updated version that fixed the mistakes and included the Platinum Pokmeon. I didn’t ask for it because I knew my family would get annoyed buying essentially the same book twice. But man do I wish I got the updated version instead.

I had the original gen 1 handbook with the red cover. The biggest mistake I remember from that one was that it claimed Hitmonlee evolved into Hitmonchan. They corrected it in the delux edition. The gen 2 handbook, atleast the version I had, didn't even have all of the gen 2 pokemon. I remeber it had the starters, the baby forms and evolved forms of gen 1 pokemon, but hardly anything else. Im pretty sure it didn't have the legendary beasts or Ho-oh, Lugia, or Celebi.

I do remember reading in a guide that rattata evolved at level 21. When it evolved sooner, I basically had shocked Pikachu face, lol.
I've got the non-deluxe version of the second book you showed, it's hilarious that they didn't take the opportunity to correct most of these mistakes. One I did notice they fixed is that the spearow image is missing from it's evolution guide in the original, the blue circle is there but it's empty.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the author called types “elements” just so they could do that pun
All the Pokémon lived in harmony
They were originally called "elements" in series
Elements is probably referencing the element cards for the card game at the time of release of the book
@Jayteial919
*H O W N N*
Long ago, in the era the Tazos were first released, they were referred to as elements. It was a more direct translation or something. I mean, I am trying to recollect 20 year old knowledge or something here but I hopped fences for these things (a Growlithe or Charmander Tazo if I remember correctly) and I sort of remember them being referred to as elements on those.
2:50
My best guess for this mistake is because when rough skin was introduced in the anime, Max called it an attack, not an ability. But it is still wrong
I think it's because rough skin deals damage, so it MAAAAAAAAYBE could be clasified as a kind of attack. (But that would be a strech)
@@hahant-expertatunfunnycont9713 no, it 100% an ability even if it does damage its an ability
4Kids was weirdly hesitant to mention abilities in the dub for like a year and a half into Hoenn. The original Japanese version brought them up all the time, but the dub kept writing around them for some reason.
Ooh, I had the handbook for gen 2, and the thing I remember best for some reason was that the pronunciation guide for Raikou said "REE-koh." It varies whether someone pronounces the -kou like "koh" or "koo" but pronouncing Rai that way is so out of nowhere, it's like calling Raichu "Reechu." I remember feeling clever as a kid when I caught the mistakes in the handbooks for it and gen 3.
22:39 The in-game Farfetch'd for Spearow trade also exists in Firered. I don't know about Leafgreen or The Let's Go games, because I have only played Firered, but I did go throughb this in-game trade, and obtained a Farrfetch'd named CH'DING.

There’s multiple Farfetch’d but yeah besides your starter and the 4 legendaries there’s only 1 eevee and 1 lapras, both given to you by progressing through the story. Unless it’s Yellow version.
I also have this book and wanted to check out the starters. The Bulbasaur line is only good against water apparently.
a couple funny ones missed in the first generation handbook, the color behind the oddish art indicates that it's grass psychic despite being grass poison. Slowpoke and Slowbro are also apparently water and poison type according to their own background coloring. Venusaur also has element listed twice, listing it as seed element in addition to grass and poison element.
They were on something when they wrote these.

I have a copy of the Gen 6 handbook. And the most mind numbing thing I've noticed in that book, that I'm surprised wasn't mentioned in this video, was that they labeled Donphan as a normal type. Probably a typo or something but how did they mess that up?
Especially since Donphan is a pure Ground type, and NOT Normal Type. Also, I didn't know Phanpy's ability(Donphan's pre-evolution); was Pickup, either. I thought it was always Sturdy, even before it evolved. But Pickup is still a good ability to have. But Sturdy is way better as an ability.
I also want to point out that the Pidgeot page mentions that it catches "unsuspecting Fish element prey". Not Fish type, or Water element, which would at least be consistent with the book's type/element stuff, but Fish Element.

Not a mistake but the deino art in the "pokemon deluxe essential handbook" looks like it just broke it's neck and is getting for help also it says that that pronunciation is dy-no instead of dee-no which is how I have always pronounced it. I know that this wasn't in the video but if you have the book I recommend turning to page 87 to get a good laugh. Edit: I have been informed that it is pronounced dy-no and that I had the pronunciation wrong
where is this?
Do you have a time stamp?
@Chinmay Walimbe the book is 4 dollars and I'm sure you could find it for free in an e-reading site. If that's too much then look it up yourself and put the link in the reply. thanks!
Its actually dy-no
Because the ein in deino cones from german ein wich means 1
Zweilous zwei is 2
Hydreigons drei is 3
„Dy-no“ is correct though. It’s pronounced „Dy-no“, „Zwy-lous“ and „Hy-dry-gon“.
If you look at Ash’s profile at 15:01 he is labeled as a “Pokemon Master”

Oh ye
You arm breathtaking. Wait what.
Nah, it continues the sentence from previous page (14:38): "Your goal may be to become the world's greatest Pokemon Master, like Ash..."
It was during generation 1, so they predicted the generation 7 anime?
So, I also have the Official Kanto Handbook Deluxe Edition, and there are a couple errors with the starters.
The book refers to Charmeleon and Charizard as "Lizard" pokemon, when in actuality, they are classified as "Flame" pokemon in the games.
Also, I fairly recently saw in a store that they reprinted that handbook and they fixed the pronunciation of Pigeot.
My first books were a very short Kalos book that told you the starters, the box legends, the eveeloutions, and some other random Pokémon, and a how to beat diamond and pearl guide despite not owning the games.

I know right? I instantly went onto the Pokerap and cut right there to also hear it as "Pidjit"
@@ProjectNaturePrds both pid-jit and pid-gee-ot are correct, as well

Other person: You forgot-

The Flareon quote in the second book is a quote from the anime, where the fire Eevee brother is trying to convince his little brother to evolve his Eevee into a Flareon. Immediately after he says this the other two older brothers start arguing with him about it.
I have a book that has all pokemon up to gen 8. Oh, and apparently braixen is from johto.
Him: Level's don't exist in the anime
Kid from that one episode: Pidgey, at level 1 gust, at level 10 sand attack... Etc.
I was about to comment that
Couldn’t they have just been talking about those giant game boys they own like on their it learns it at that level
Right
Also they say about to evolve they need Experience in another episode.
@@Mjgaming54321 Really I didn't know that. LMFAO
"Levels do not exist in the anime"
Remember that one episode where that one kid gets bullied for having weak Pokémon like Pidgy? Well, someone said in that episode said "Pidgy evolves at level 18" or something along the lines of that.
Maybe pokemon games also exist in pokemon anime.
There's actually several instances in which the pokédex mentions levels as well
Early installment weirdness
I was gonna mention that but forgot until I saw this comment
There was one episode where Jessie and James talk about needing experience to evolve
Holy moly I remember seeing these at my school book fair!!!!
Late to this, but the Pid-jit thing is probably because the original pokerap prounounces Pidgeot that way. (It's near the end of the names, in the last group, for anyone curious.)
I actually had the first two of these myself, though never the third. I did have the Johto book as well - or at least the first part/version. See, for some reason they intentionally left out a bunch of things that were in like a more complete version 2 of it or something. Bizarre.

That Gen-I handbook was THE coveted item of my elementary school's library. There was only one copy, and kids (myself included) would hold onto it for weeks at a time.
I remember the guide recommending bringing your own dragons to fight Lance, seemingly unaware that the only dragon-type move in the game was Dragon Rage. (Not that we knew that either.)
5:15 Just realized that when the book talks about Ash, it says he leaves Bulabasaur and Charizard(which he does) and starts over with Treecko and Mudkip, even though he never caught a Mudkip!
