The Pokémon franchise is getting a new premium collector’s release later this year with the upcoming Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide Limited Edition Box Set Collection. Officially scheduled to launch on August 25, 2026, the high-end box set is designed for long-time Trainers, collectors, and Pokémon enthusiasts looking for an expanded celebration of the series’ nearly 30-year history.
Published by Pikachu Press, the collection combines an oversized hardcover guidebook with several exclusive collector’s items inspired by the video games, animation series, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Where to Buy
Two editions are currently expected to be available through Amazon UK:
• [Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide Limited Edition Box Set Collection](https://amzn.to/4datUxn) — £185
• [Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide standard hardcover edition](https://amzn.to/4uSeELM) — £50
The limited edition version is clearly positioned as a collector-focused release. At the same time, the standard hardcover offers a more affordable option for readers primarily interested in the book itself.

The Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide Limited Edition Box Set Collection comes packed with a variety of exclusive items created specifically for collectors.
Inside the collection, fans will find:
• A Certificate of Authenticity housed inside a customised Pikachu-themed envelope

• Two collectable animation art prints housed in a dedicated animation-inspired folio
• An exclusive premium Pokémon Trading Card Game playmat measuring 24″ x 14″ and featuring Pikachu alongside more than 130 Pokémon
• The hardcover edition of Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide
The presentation appears heavily focused on display-quality packaging and archival-style collectables, making it one of the more premium Pokémon releases announced in recent years.
Hardcover Guide Details
At the centre of the collection is the Pokémon Deluxe Character Guide, a 336-page hardcover book featuring insights and information covering all known Pokémon.
According to the official description, the guide also includes a foreword written by Tsunekazu Ishihara, adding an extra layer of significance for dedicated fans of the franchise.
The book celebrates Pokémon’s origins, dating back to the original 1996 releases of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, reflecting on the creatures and characters that helped turn Pokémon into one of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world.
