I remember being motivated to read endless crappy Pokémon books churned out in the 90’s, this is probably no different. It worked for me.

I read a lot of those pokemon books as a kid as well, and I agree that they provide some motivation.
But watch out for recent unofficial books, specifically the "Diary of a <insert pokemon>" series (which I think got C&D'd, because they changed all the cover art and replaced the pokemon names with generic animal substitutes). It's pretty enjoyable to make fun of, but probably not the best for kids to read.
