Pokémon Ecology Encyclopedia
"Pokécology" promises to be a comprehensive guide to the ecology of Pokémon, offering in-depth analysis and insights into their diet, sleep patterns, physical characteristics, and interactions with their environment and other Pokémon. This encyclopedia is crafted by a team of distinguished experts, including veterinary behaviorists and ecology doctors from the University of Tokyo.

This book not only enriches the Pokémon universe but also serves as an educational tool, particularly for young readers, to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Pokémon in a scientific context.
