Reddit users LordSparko and HaroMaximu have taken the English translations for Vol 1 & 2 and put them over the Japanese art, to undo censorship.

I think it would be interesting to find the scans from its serialization in CoroCoro. PokéSpe has had some art changes from its magazine serialization to its release, and EToP is notoriously censored, so there may be things to find.

"Additionally, there was a closely related series of "Pokemon Craft," with at least nine different books featuring different Pokemon (the Pikachu book seems to be from this series). Following(?) this series was "Pokemon Craft DX," with at least three books, featuring Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise. There seems to have been at least one Gold/Silver book, though I have no idea if the Trainers were changed. I don't own any of these books." - comment from some guy
