I've never seen Pokemon manga and so I haven't got one of those yet. I'll probably buy one if I get bored, maybe the Pokemon Adventures version?

I've only read PokéSpe, and only the first 24 volumes. This was quite a long time ago. I hope to get more in the future, though. In fact, this manga was the reason I joined PC in the first place, so it's sad to see the subsection go (even though I rarely posted there since returning).

If anyone knows a site that actually posts all the chapters you would make my entire life better. lol
Google is your friend. If you know what to google for. I'm just saying. It's not as difficult to find plenty of pokémon manga scans as one might believe ^^

I've never seen a pokémon manga in a store in my country ever. I doubt they get translated to Swedish, but I haven't seen English versions either. And I doubt they are selling the japanese versions unless I go into some really obscure store in the capital or something. That's a pity, because at times I really get an urge to own the physical copies. I guess shipping from online would be an option, I just don't want Viz' new versions; I like the old covers better haha.

I tried reading the B/W arc but I couldn't find the right chapters anywhere in the internet :c

Other Pokemon mangas I've kinda read are ReBurst, which I REALLY want to read more of but there seems to be a huge jump in chapters wherever I look
There are gaps in between BW magazine chapters of Pokémon Special.
Pokémon RéBURST chapter 1-10 was scanlated by a group that has now closed down. Another group picked up RéBURST after that and continued scanlating it from where the summaries stopped, so they scanlated chapter 68-71.


I've been wanting to read the manga from time to time but I've never gotten round to it. i wouldn't know where to start reading or how to find them, or even which to read haha.

Well, there's this revolutionary site called Google that allows people to find stuff. Last time I checked scans and scanlations are also stuff.


I don't know if Chuang Yi did the Unova series yet.
Nope. They're at volume 41, which is the first volume of the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc.


I also read the first few chapters of Electric Tale of Pikachu, it was pretty funny and sadly I couldn't find much more than that... anywhere at all it seems. I also once read a manga that was like... Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and the MC gets turned into a Torchic, I found it at my library but I don't remember it that well.
Chapter 1-15 of The Electric Tale of Pikachu has been scanned and are easily available online. If you want to read chapter 16-20 you'll have to buy volume 4 (Surf's Up, Pikachu).
The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon manga is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team.


The only Pokémon manga I've read is the Pokemon Adventures Red & Blue set, all 7 volumes. I'm not sure if this applies to all the other sets in the Adventures manga, but I like how it's a lot more descriptive and graphic than the Pokémon anime.
It applies to all other arcs of Pokémon Special / Adventures.


Although there are times when I wish I could pick up PokeSpe again to see what all the popularity is about, I wouldn't know where to find it to do so.



It’s not that I wouldn't give it the chance, but I’ve never seen any physical copies of it anywhere, which is how I’d much rather read it than online.
Pretty much all websites that sell books also sell Pokémon manga, so with a few clicks with your mouse you can get volumes delivered directly into your mailbox.


I have read Pokemon Adventure in bits and pieces, mainly because I can't find an internet source that actually has all of the chapters and I'm anal about doing things in chronological order so I'm not missing out on anything.
It's not that hard to find.

If anyone knows a site that actually posts all the chapters you would make my entire life better. lol
Regarding scans/scanlations of manga: you may not link to manga hosting sites.

Exactly.

No Pokémon manga has ever been translated into Swedish, as far as I know. Neither official or scanlations.
You might find it in a big book store (or at least be able to have them order it to the store) or in a sci-fi store (yeah, those does exist).
You could get the Chuang Yi editions then, if you are ok with flipped artwork and Chinese to English translations for most of the volumes. If you want to import it, I know who you should contact.


I read all of DP Adventures (The one with the tarzan-boy)
That's Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!.

I've read a bit of them. I read the first arc of PokeSpecial, for instance, and I have one of the 2nd gen arcs too in book form - something I picked up from the one con I went to years back for novelty factor.

It's something I wouldn't mind reading more of, I suppose. I preferred it to the anime at any rate.

Yes I have! I own some of the Electric Tale of Pikachu thin books and have read the Kanto saga of Pokemon Adventures. That's pretty much it, though I'd like to read more~

I had a few chapters of Pokemon Adventures when I was small with the first volume of The Electric Tale of Pikachu (I lost it).
Recently I bought 16 volumes of Pokemon Adventures, I'm liking them a lot so far.

Nice. Just make sure that you read the Chang Yi version of chapter 209, volume 17, since VIZ did an extra craptastic job with censoring that chapter: http://mrxpokemonmanga.tumblr.com/post/54713311849/pokemon-adventures

I love pokemon manga, i didn't watch the anime after the first 45 episodes because I think it was getting slightly too absurd. I read Pokemon Adventure manga, and the Pokespec Manga.

I've only read the Pokespecial/Pokemon Adventures manga when I was really sick and my sister suggested that I should try it out. I was kind of reluctant at first but I absolutely loved all the different personalities and it made me view the protagonists of the Pokemon series in a whole new light rather than the general 'awkward social skills and can only manage to say the words yes or no but still somehow gets along with life'. I've read all of the arcs up until HG/SS but I've been meaning to read that for a while. Laziness gets the better of me though.

I'm interested in reading the Electric Tale of Pikachu though, but I've only ever read Pokemon Adventures and that was incredibly awesome. Would love to read some other Pokemon mangas. :D

I've read PokeSpe and thought it was amazing. The new arcs are a bit confusing, but not really. My favorite arc was probably Emerald. I love Jirachi and the Battle Frontier and Emerald is great.

Also, I just looked up RéBURST. I didn't realize it was an actual manga. A while ago I was in a RP based off the concept, but they didn't mention they had based it off this. Huh.

I didn't really like the Manga because it wasn't in the Pokémon spirit, in my opinion. It also seemed to distant to the Pokémon train of thought. I was so use to the games and anime that it was just too different to me.

It's Pokémon Adventures in English publications and Pokémon Special in Japan.
It has two nicknames as well: PokéSpe and PokéSupe
So, one of the proper ways to say it is that you read the Red, Green & Blue arc of Pokémon Special.
