Pokémon World is a fully independent, unofficial, UK-based, four-weekly magazine that gives out information about new games, mostly upcoming Pokémon ones. It also has sections showing debates from certain forums over different subjects dealing with Pokémon. In addition, there are sections for fanart, letters asking questions about the Pokémon games, pullout posters of Pokémon and characters, and fan-fiction.
They have recently added a Pokémon challenge section in which people with a Pokémon game can battle a Pokémon World employee over Wi-Fi with the results printed in the magazine the next month, moved from another unofficial UK Nintendo magazine after it closed down.
As of April 2011 there are 115 issues, as well as various mooks containing collections of puzzles or Pokédex information previously published. The magazine is also known for being expensive, for being roughly the size of a weekly magazine but yet being priced currently at £4, like larger, monthly magazines.
Each issue of the magazine usually comes with at least two free gifts, for example calendars, sweets and stationary sets.
A lot of indepth information in the magazine about the games usually comes from Serebii.net, whom they have an affiliation with the webmaster of. They have also been known to copy information from Bulbapedia. It is known to spell the names of Pokémon wrong occasionally and sometimes give misleading information, such as leading up to the release of Pokémon Emerald, it stated the player would be able to buy and change clothing in-game, when really the protagonists were just given new, green-colored clothing. Due to the time taken to prepare and publish the magazine, sometimes the information contained in it can be up to a month out of date, for example giving wrong dates for events, or only announcing them after they had already finished. Issue 114 announces both that Pokémon Black and White branded DSis have no news of a European release, and at the same time advertises their European release.
It was released in the United States in April 2010 at Borders locations.
