OVERLAP’s BOOK1 catalogue supplies this game list. It is a planned contents outline; it does not assign a page number to every game, character or location.

Check the title before choosing

OVERLAP lists the original Japanese Red and Green, Japanese Blue and Pikachu separately. “Red / Green” here preserves that Japanese release history; it is not a claim that the book starts with the later international Red and Blue edition.

If Black and White are your starting point, check BOOK2. A preference for a particular Pokémon species alone cannot identify a volume: the publisher organises this outline by games, and this site has not inspected every printed illustration.

The game-to-volume finder also accepts familiar abbreviated titles. If it returns no match, check the full catalogue list before assuming the game is included. The finder searches the publisher’s listed titles, not every Pokémon product.

Publication and physical format

Japan publication is scheduled for Friday, December 18, 2026. BOOK1 is sold separately at ¥5,500 including Japanese tax. The announced format is B5 and full colour, with about 500 pages planned for each volume. Exact binding, shipping weight and final page count have not been established by the publisher text checked for this guide. Japan announcement; publisher’s page plan.

The publisher describes packaging and title material, Pokémon and people, fields, scenes, promotional art and design references among the content categories. Its interview feature is a publisher announcement, not a first-hand review of this volume.

Ordering the matching edition

Use 978-4-8240-1873-1 to match this volume. Check the BOOK number, publication language and seller’s condition description as well as the ISBN. An English subtitle on a Japanese listing does not establish an English-language interior.

The listed yen price is not a delivered overseas total. Confirm destination eligibility, postage, handling fees and taxes before payment. A publication date also does not promise the seller will dispatch or deliver on that day. Use the buying checks and read the English-edition status.
