Pokemon Special Club! (returns!)

The best! Yes!

Well of course you couldn't expect it to be the only manga for such a widely known anime/game franchise.

I'm back for a while ;)
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokemon Special Club! (returns!)

The girl with the red bandana, whose anime counterpart is May, is Sapphire. Sapphire's pretty wild for a girl, and messy. She doesn't like wearing clothes, but that outfit was an exception, given to her by Ruby. She prefers battles over contests.
The boy with the headband and white hair, whose anime counterpart is Brendan, is Ruby. Ruby would sound girly, because he is very neat, can sew and loves to makeup his Pokemon for contests. He prefers contests over battles.
These two are at the left and right of the picture.
In the middle you'll see two boys and a girl. The girl with the white hat is Blue, special to the manga until a similar looking character came out in the Gameboy Advance Fire Red and Leaf Green games. She's shrewd and sassy, and was once a cheat and a thief (she stole her squirtle).
The boy with black hair, whose anime counterpart is Ash, is Red. Red is pretty smart and treats his Pokemon as his friends.
And the boy with orange hair and black outfit, whose anime counterpart is Gary, is Green. He's the rival of Red, but unlike his anime counterpart, he doesn't really show off. He also seldom talks unless it's needed because he seems deep in thought usually in the manga (I think). He trains his Pokemon rather hard compared to Red.
Note that Green for the boy and Blue for the girl are names used in Japan. There's a switch in the US.
There's also two more characters not in the picture: Yellow and Wally (Suspected to the be the next Emerald). Only Yellow does not own a Pokedex.
Yellow's a cute girl who has special psychic and healing powers. She hates hurting Pokemon and thus hates to fight Pokemon. This causes her to be lousy at capturing them with Pokeballs.
 
I think it's the storyline. The book doesn't only cater to children with cute Pokemon. There's also some other characters I didn't mention, like Silver, Crystal and Gold. There's this brotherly-sisterly feeling between Silver and Blue, and Red and Yellow liking each other...or some others say Green and Yellow instead. Also, certain Gym Leaders and even the Elite 4 have been portrayed as evil, such as Sabrina and Lt Surge, and Pryce. There are also some unexpected twists in the book. Ruby has characteristics that girls normally have, somewhat a taboo in certain parts of the world. Some characters even go missing for some parts of the books.
 
sounds awesome^

Welcome, friend! I look forward to seeing your opinions on Special. ^^ In a sense, I suppose I'm fairly new as well. I know all of the characters, but past what I've read, my knowledge of the storylings is fairly vague. We can learn together!
 
Well...welcome to the club, and I hope you stick around. :)

Good to see that someone listens to our preaching. XD
 
There are tons of 'em! I believe there is a list at pokespecial.tk.
