Does this confirm that the national dex is back for USUM?

Well, yeah, there's 802 pokémon now. They have a page of paper dedicated to each, with what moves they learn, some dex entries, etc. The other 40 pages are fluff, I'm not sure what's in them actually.

Oh yeah, I wonder if alternate and Alola forms have their own page, or if they split them in half.

Maybe there's also a few pages describing moves and abilities. It's been a while since I've bought one of these things.

I think it's in both
One of them probably has a quick rundown while the other goes more in depth,

idk since I've never gotten any of the Dex books, but the story guides seem to have everything

so it is presumed:
> that not every pokemon takes a whole page
>that a pokemon's forms/variants abilities etc are on the same page
Thus 864 pages is plenty for even a national dex and presumed postgame content, no?

If anyone wants to see how previous guides are broken down, here's a few links to some older ones

https://www.docdroid.net/h58i/prima-2012-pokemon-black-white-volume-2.pdf#page=14

https://www.docdroid.net/h4wg/prima-2010-pokemon-heartgold-soulsilver-pocket-pokedex-vol-3.pdf

https://www.docdroid.net/h3v2/prima-2007-pokemon-diamond-pearl-complete-pokedex.pdf

The ORAS/BW one lists 2 per page while HGSS lists one per page
(Note the HGSS one is a "volume 3" while the rest and the usum ones are "volume 2's", and Platinum combined both it's guidebook and dex book into one)

then is it safe to assume USUM will have 2 per page since it's a vol. 2?

Probably so
The rest of the guide I'm guessing is going to be stuff like concept art, item and tm listings, etc.
Including all the postgame features the Story guide doesnt list, or goes more depth into
(Keeping in mind, the story guide itself is about 120 pages longer than the regular one for Sun/Moon

Eventually we'll probably get another volume that lists every pokemon in depth with their own pages

I don't know what the limit on Pokémon per page is. Are Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Mega Charizard X, and Mega Charizard Y split across two pages? What about Eevee and its evolutions? If it's "two Pokémon per page side", it would be pretty easy to determine just how many pages would be dedicated to Pokémon and forms. But there are certain Pokémon that don't need as much real estate, like Mega Evolutions which don't need any move information. The same goes for forms that are only aesthetic (Cap Pikachu, Unown, Deerling, Sawsbuck, Keldeo, etc.)

Must be nice to be a privileged city folk with free wifi.

Pro-tip, those in the mountains rely on third world services which charge hundreds for a service that gives speeds comparable to dial-up with data limits less than a phone. And it it snows or rains, bye bye internet.

The fact that it has this many pages, does it increase the likelihood of there being new Alolan forms in USUM?

Hard to say since I dont own a pokedex book, but it looks like 2 pokemon per page with forms counting as one

So Page 1 - Abra, Kadabra
Page 2 - Alakazam, Mega Alakazam

I'm assuming no matter how forms a pokemon has it's 2 entries per page

The rest of the book varies by game, but most include a guide on postgame content, a list of Items, TMs, Attack lists, Concept Art, etc.

I think it's pretty likely considering ORAS introduced a handful of new Mega Evolutions, a few of which werent even in the Hoenn dex (Like Pidgeot)

Now that the first trailer that introduces the game is out of the way, I'm assuming the next trailer we see will start showing of the new forms
