    So, from what I understand, in the anime, the winner of the Pokémon League tournament for a region gets the chance to fight against the Elite Four. By winning against the Elite Four, you are then permitted to challenge the Champion. A person who defeats the Champion this way or an Elite Four Member who defeats the Champion this way becomes the new Champion for that region’s league.
    Either that, or the winner enters a smaller tournament consisting of themself, the Elite Four, and the Champion, and the winner of this mini-tournament is the champion.

      Kirlia and Vibrava couldn't be caught in the wild at all in the third generation, so no idea what that's about. Maybe they were wild Pokemon in the anime, but...
      But as KHfan pointed out, Trapinch does look wildly different than Vibrava and Flygon, and its level up moveset is pretty different too, so I can see the confusion there.

    The "Pid-jit" one, at least for me, is from Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew where I think someone pronounces it like that. Or Pidgeot itself cries its own name like that. So until fairly recently, that was how I pronounced it because of that. Hadn't watched a lot of the anime, and that was one of the few Pokémon DVDs I had as a kid, since my mum brought it back from Bali when she went on a trip there with our neighbour she was friends with across the road.

We could order whatever books we wanted that were in the catalogues and could read them and had to take tests on the books we read for credits in some classes. I was a major bookworm back then, so I read like huge 1,000+ page books and would always get lots of credits and I actually found it really fun. All the Harry Potter books, all the Eragon books, all the Bobby Pendragon books and so many more.

However i noticed it was filled with errors: spelling errors, wrong evolution charts etc. Later they released a updated version that fixed the mistakes and included the Platinum Pokmeon. I didn’t ask for it because I knew my family would get annoyed buying essentially the same book twice. But man do I wish I got the updated version instead.

    So, I also have the Official Kanto Handbook Deluxe Edition, and there are a couple errors with the starters.
    The book refers to Charmeleon and Charizard as "Lizard" pokemon, when in actuality, they are classified as "Flame" pokemon in the games.
    Also, I fairly recently saw in a store that they reprinted that handbook and they fixed the pronunciation of Pigeot.

    Late to this, but the Pid-jit thing is probably because the original pokerap prounounces Pidgeot that way. (It's near the end of the names, in the last group, for anyone curious.)
    I actually had the first two of these myself, though never the third. I did have the Johto book as well - or at least the first part/version. See, for some reason they intentionally left out a bunch of things that were in like a more complete version 2 of it or something. Bizarre.
