Gotta Read ’Em All!
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or introducing Pokémon to the next generation, there’s something for everyone this year - from colorful DK readers to creative craft kits and collector’s art books.
✨ Major Update: Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide Editions Added
One of the biggest additions to the 2026 Pokémon book lineup is the upcoming Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide, along with the Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide Limited Edition Box Set Collection.
These editions are especially exciting for collectors, longtime Pokémon fans, and gift buyers. While many Pokémon releases are storybooks, readers, activity books, or manga volumes, the Deluxe Character Guide titles stand out because they feel more like collector-focused releases. The Limited Edition Box Set Collection, in particular, could become one of the most popular Pokémon book items of 2026.
Both editions are currently listed with an August 25, 2026 release date.
