Collecting together a variety of illustrations, concept art and containing a 32 page long interview from artist Ken Sugimori, the 360 page artbook will be available in Japan on May 27 for 1,998 yen.
Notable inclusions in the artbook include the ''Quinty'' manga, which has never been published in a collected format before, having only been published in chapter format in magazines. The collection sadly will not include a bulk of Pokémon information and artwork, as this an effort of the design team and not Ken Sugimori himself. This collection of illustrations, concept art and a 32 page long interview featuring artist Ken Sugimori will be 360 pages in length and available in Japan on May 27 for 1,998 yen.
