Title: Pokemon Adventures
Post by: FinaleTI on March 13, 2011, 02:01:02 pm
This is the best part of Pokemon: the manga. Especially Pokemon Adventures! (Also called Pokemon Special).

Some of my favorite characters are:

Red                                               Gold

Green                                             Yellow

Does anyone else read this manga? I just reached the Gold and Silver chapter myself.

acutally, never read the manga.  I like the style they draw those people you posted though, kinda epic-like.  I like.  Where can I purchase these entities?  (also, in advance, don't be hating me for hating any pokemon game older than ruby/saphire generation :P)

I started reading the manga a while ago, but I stopped in the early GS chapters. It's much better than the anime in my opinion.

I like these chars. Are the mangas based on the anime story? I hope the team rocket won't appear every 2 page.

Can the mangas be read online? Or do you have to pay for the books?

Nope, the stories are completely different. Some things happen in the manga that would never happen in the games or anime, such as Pika (Red's Pikachu) learning how to surf by using Substitute, then having the substitute take the form of surfboard.

I've been reading it online, though I intend on buying the books eventually.

I see, thanks for the info. I hope they are a bit more original than the anime. X.x The team rocket appearing in every episode got old after a while...

Illegally? Or legally? If legally, link me! If illegally, never mind.

Team Rocket's a lot better in the manga. Actually, 4 of the gym leaders are Team Rocket's executives, although one defects. Plus, there's no Jessie and James, which removes most of the stupidity.

Team Rocket isn't the only antagonistic party, though. In the Yellow Chapter, the Elite Four are the antagonists, and in the Gold/Silver/Crystal Chapter, there's Neo Team Rocket, which is a resurrected Team Rocket not under Giovanni's leadership.

I just googled it.

Ah ok, I found Team Rockey funny sometimes, it's just that in every anime episode it was always the same thing. I'm glad this was fixed.

hmm, looks liek they fixed most of the story elements I couldn't stand.  especially by booting main characters Misty, Ash, Brock, etc.

Yep. As far as I can tell, only a handful of the Chapters exclude previous main characters, the one that pops into my head is the Ruby and Sapphire Chapter. Of course, everyone comes back for the Emerald Chapter, so yeah. I'm not sure about Diamond and Pearl or Platinum, though. And I really know nothing about the Black and White and HeartGold and SoulSilver Chapters.

are they going to have 4th and 5th generation chapters?  That would be cool, though I can't stand the idea of having like 800 different pokemon.  Soon the pokedex will turn into a dictionary.

There's already Diamond/Pearl and Platinum and HeartGold/SoulSilver Chapters, and I believe that the Black and White Chapter just started.

There's already a pokemon black, a mod of Red :P

@Ashbad, it's pretty much already like that. That's why Fire Red's pokedex forces a search by type rather than a list. :P

So, anyone pick this up yet? I've almost finished the Crystal/Gold/Silver Chapter, and I have to say it's pretty good so far. If only the games were this good...

Cool. Glad to see someone else enjoys it. I just finished the 32nd volume myself, and I am loving the Diamond and Pearl chapter.
