Each character is illustrated with their own ideals and personalities that are glossed over in other Pokémon installments.
I couldn’t put the book down the first night I read it! It covers the entire first arc in the Kanto region, and introduces the classic characters from the first generation. The pacing of the manga is absolutely perfect. As you would expect, death is around every corner, but this manga takes it to a whole new level when you see an Arbok slashed in half by Blue’s Charmeleon! This is just a taste of how different the manga is from the main series, which is why I personally love it as an adult! Not only does this manga exhibit creative battle styles, but it also features the ethics of scientific discovery and even DEATH! One iconic chapter that pops up whenever you search Pokémon Adventures manga is the creepy Lavender Town. An example of Red’s genius battling moments was when Snorlax was hurled in the air by Machamp-he used Snorlax’s weight and momentum to deliver the most Earth-shattering double-edges in Pokémon history! Another detail I enjoyed was finding out that Red’s first Pokémon is actually a Poliwag instead of Pikachu or the Kanto starters! I found this so interesting because the Poliwag line is normally forgotten about in the games, so it's nice to see this line highlighted. For starters, his battle style tends to use either the same type as the opponent’s Pokémon or one that works best with his surroundings.
This Red is courageous, caring, intuitive and isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
This version of Red is very different from how he’s portrayed in the games (the silent trainer waiting on top Mt. As a huge Pokémon fan that grew up with the series (I have a tattoo of a Poké Ball), this manga was the perfect blast from the past I needed and a great way to show the newer generations of fans where Pokémon began.Īs you would expect, the series follows the fabled Pokémon Trainer Red in his adolescent years learning about how to be a great trainer during his travels in Kanto. Hey Pokémon fans! I have a great recommendation for YOU! The Pokémon Adventures Collector's Edition 1 is by far one of my favorite mangas I've read.
