The Pokémon Company International has launched a new book series targetted at young trainers, adding an educational twist to the cute and colourful world of the series.
The company's official publishing imprint, Pikachu Press, has launched two books in what will be known as the 'Pokémon Primers' series. The books are illustrated and designed in-house by The Pokémon Company International, and fans, parents, and big kids alike can grab 'Pokémon Primers: ABC' and 'Pokémon Primers: 123' from various retailers right now.
As you'd probably expect, both titles feature adorable illustrations of popular Pokémon, over 100 flaps for children to interact with, and they even include pronunciation guides for each Pokémon named. Check out a couple of the pages inside, both with flaps down, and open:
Heather Dalgleish, director of publishing at The Pokémon Company International, says "We are thrilled to deliver Pikachu Press’ first published Pokémon product for young Trainers with the new ‘Pokémon Primers’ series. With families spending more time together, these new books will give kids and parents a fun and engaging way to learn more about Pokémon while brushing up on their ABCs and 123s."
If you end up liking these two books and want more, the next two entries in the series, 'Pokémon Primers: Colors' and 'Pokémon Primers: Shapes' are available to pre-order. All four can be found at Amazon, although copies of the first two have temporarily sold out at the time of writing.
Do these look like the ideal teaching tool for any little ones in your life? Is it weird that we kind of want these just for ourselves? Maybe don't answer that in the comments below.

Letters, colours, colours and shapes. We all have a while to wait for Pokemon - Cocktails.
Gotta catch them all while there young!!
Buy a set. Don't unwrap them. Store them somewhere cool and dry. A nest egg for the grandkids.
Pokemon goes to Kindergarten ! 😆
Edit:
Oh, wait.
There was also Yokai Watch Math Workbook.
Simpsons did it!
No, really. https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Maggie_Simpson_book_series
my kid is 1y9m, she's so gonna rip away those flaps... I don't see myself showing her this book for now, but the Numbers one could be nice
All four are now sold out it appears....
And let me guess, the overwhelming majority of these will be hoarded by adult nerds.
@Silly_G They weren't thinking why they trained us to Catch 'Em All!
@KingMike : The PokéROM CDs from back in the day had the slogan "Gotta Learn 'Em All!" They should have used that here as well.
