History book on Pokemon

[Tasos Ker]

Hey do you know any book on the history of Pokemon? The evolution, popularity etc of Pokemon. Not handbook with just info for each Pokemon.

I know there have been some written in Japanese and Spanish, but I don't think there's been anything officially published in English.

I found this mini e-book thing here that's kind of what you're looking for, but I couldn't find much else when I had a quick look around.

Just to confirm, this is like.. a history of how the franchise has developed, and not a lore history thing, right? Both would be interesting, but I think you're inquiring about the former. It's not a history of Pokemon per se, but that youtuber Mother's Basement did a great video on the history of Pokemon knock offs, which by necessity explains a lot of the history of how Pokemon started up, could be worth a watch for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrK2CEHXOH4
