A/N: Hi there! If you couldn't tell, this is a Pokémon guide, designed to educate Pokémon Trainers on how to interact and bond with their newly caught Pokémon. Of course we aren't talking about real life here; you can say that we're simply pretending that you're a new trainer who's just bought this book at the local Pokémon Center, so they can get along with their newly caught Pokémon.

Now, why did I make this fictitious guide, you ask? Well, I've had a look around the site, and I've seen a few Pokémon guides. However, only one seems close to finishing a whole region, and absolutely none of them include Unova Pokémon! So in this guide, I plan to write an extensive, educational guide going into great detail on how one can care for a Pokémon. Enjoy!

Hi there! If you're reading this, that means you've bought this book! (Well, I certainly hope so…) And if you've bought this book, that means you want to know much more about our friends, Pokémon!

I'm Professor Fuhri. No, not Furry, Fuhri! I'm a leading Pokémon professor in the Unova region. Unlike that incompetent woman Professor Juniper, I don't send kids off to their deaths with pathetic Pokémon to conduct my research. No, no. All my research is done safely and securely, and has been compiled into this guide to help you!

Ah, I dawdled on, didn't I? Anyway, this guide contains comprehensive information on how to take care of, feed, bond and love your newly caught Pokémon in the Unova region. By following all of the advice kept within this handy book, you can confidently catch any Pokémon knowing that nothing is going to go wrong.

Every Pokémon is included, from the cute and innocent Victini, to the vicious and powerful Genesect! Whatever Pokémon you've caught native to Unova, it's right in this guide! I have also included special 'Celebrity Spotlights' every tenth chapter, so you can learn a little bit about all of the awesome people living throughout our lovely nation of Unova.

Now, I wholesomely encourage you to flick to the next chapter and start reading… Ah! One more thing!

Each Pokémon has a section labelled 'Warnings'. If it has as bold exclamation mark, like this one: ! After it, you MUST read it! Not doing so could result in serious injury or death. Not all Pokémon are cute and cuddly you know!

Where was I again? Oh yes! Go ahead and turn to the next chapter, so your brain may drown in the wonderful knowledge of Pokémon!

EDIT: I thought I should quickly mention this before someone points it out. You may have noticed that I capitalize things such as Pokémon types (Grass, Electric), moves (Tackle, Hydro Pump) and abilities (Keen Eye, Blaze). I'm aware that they are not proper nouns and it is therefore incorrect use of grammar. However, I am doing it on purpose for a reason.

I do it to differentiate between normal words and Pokémon terms. So for example, I capitalize the Pokémon type Grass to distinguish it from the noun, grass (any monocotyledonous plant of the family Poaceae). Likewise, I capitalize the Pokémon move Bite, to distinguish it from the verb, bite. (To grip with one's teeth)
