Pokemon adventures 
2000-03-19
I liked this book. I liked the parts when Red cared for Bulbusaur and Kangkaskan and when the wild Machoke surprised them. Actually that's pretty weird, I mean, a Machoke in Viridian city? And on page 23 I saw a statue of Giovanni,the gym leader. I think this book should be colored.

another pokemon story 1999-11-07
There are many books and comix around the world about pokemon, so now there is another one! I would like to recomend this book to one that likes novel type stories (which each episode gets connected to another as the story goes on) and also people who are interested in reading another pokemon comix. I really would like to recomend this because it is also one of the popular pokemon comix series in Japan in a wide age range. I hope you will enjoy this comix and become a more pokemon lover! ( Also, don't forget to try the the other volumes too!)
Manga-riffic! 2008-06-05
It's always good to see a differant take on the beginnings of the pokemon phenomenon, and this manga is no exection. It more closely follows the game rather than the anime, and somehow, this improves it. Although it is rather un-nerving to see an intelligent 'Ash'... Definately add to your cart!
These are brilliantly done 2002-10-08
Pokemon Adventures is probably the best vision of the concept that's sponsored by Nintendo. For the record, I recommend buying these in the graphic novel format.
This is a great series. It's a more mature story that isn't exclusively aimed at kids like the cartoon or the other comic. There are elements in these stories that will appeal to all ages. Red and Blue, instead of being a couple of abrasive children, are more like rivals should be -- with a healthy respect for one another. They work together, even help each other along at times when they know there's more at stake than their own pride.
The story takes some turns that are far darker than anything the show would ever touch, and most of the characters from the show who appear here are, such as the Gym Leaders, are, instead of silly characitures of how people behave, real characters with a passion for what they do. Misty and Brock, incidentally, kick ass. Both Red and Blue are serious about what they do, and there's a clear reason that they win as many fights as they do, not just the "Ash is the main character, so of course he wins" mentality the show has.
Even better, as the series progresses, there is real character growth. Over the course of the story, Red goes from being a Pokemon lover with a heart of gold to a brilliant tactician who can use his Pokemon's abilities in ways nobody can imagine.
I recommend this for anyone with a passion for good storytelling, anyone who has played the game, and anybody who thinks the Pokemon concept is interesting, regardless of whether you like the cartoon. This is the best handling of the material you will find.
A little bit different, but still excellent! 2000-06-09
The Pokemon Adventures series is a little bit different than the original, but still is excellent. A new character (Instead of Ash) is in the book. The storyline is very good and would definitely recommend to a colleague. An overall 5 stars. Definitely worth getting!

This is a very nicely done book. It's not like the original Pokémon adventure. This one follows more closely to the Red and American Blue game. Instead of Ash and Gary, Ash is called Red and Gary is called Blue. There is also a girl named Green but she comes in a later book. There is also no Jessie and James, only the Team Rocket members you see in the game. Red is also a more mature and advanced trainer than Ash and Blue is wiser than Gary. Aside all this, there are only some other slight changes and basically has the same goal as the original story and is a great book.
