From the first page to the last, I hade a big smile on my face. The drawings are absolutely lovely. You recognize all the adorable pocket monsters but it's still drawn in such a personal way. And when I read the text after being in love with the drawings, there I was again, a big smile on my face. If you love the Kanto region and some of the best characters in videogame history, you will absolutely love this book.

It's a pretty small book so don't expect anything like a big art book. This is more of an interpretation of the Kanto region from a fan of the game, in both text and art. I think the format is perfect for the field guide-style. And again, it will bring a big smile on the one who reads it.
