Pikachu's First Friends is a fantasy picture book. I bought my copy new.
Review:
Pikachu sets off on a journey to find the perfect place to live. Along the way, it meets several new friends and gets to know a little more about the island on which it has found itself.
The illustrations were, as expected, super-cute. Readers get scenes with Pikachu, Dedenne, Evee, Mime Jr., Smeargle, and Ludicolo, and cameo appearances from Wingull, Gyarados, Krabby, and possibly a few other Pokemon I don't know well enough to name. (Forgive me, I've only played a couple Pokemon games.)
In most cases, the various Pokemon could have been swapped out with just about anything else that might live in a similar environment and it wouldn't have made a difference. I was a little disappointed that the Pokemon didn't get more (or, in most cases, any) opportunities to show off their abilities.
That said, I'll probably still read Pikachu's Nighttime Adventure at some point.
