hahah aww marccc XD

Well this is quite hidden here lol.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Oh wow, it's actually moved! Thanks Marcy. :D

Although I've always wondered why Manga was a sub-forum of Pokemon General as opposed to Anime...

 

[psyanic]

It would be better if Manga was its own forum. That way, it could get more traffic and views and all. It's a different media, so yeah...

 

[Netto Azure]

Sub-Forums tend to get the worst chances of getting viewed.

But of well. This was my first forum to get into. :3

 

[Oryx]

I like it being here but that's just because I love the manga so it's nice to be able to mod it. Hopefully I can drum up more activity over the summer with events, that's my plan, then if it's actually active it could have its own forum...probably should have it to begin with but there's no point with how dead it is rn. :(

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

So... serious question here, how much is the manga linked to other areas of the franchise? (Games/anime etc.)

 

[Squirrel]

I've never read the manga but I've had a lot of experience with the games, anime, TGC, plushies... Most areas of the franchise tbh. So I'd say it's not really linked to it much at all, bar the fact that there are Pokemon being used and similar trainers are using them.

Quite a lot.

I contest that notion to the fullest extent. The manga's are just a further extrapolation of the Pokemon world. It uses the same items, Pokemon and geography to tell quite enthralling stories. I don't go around and say "Oh the anime changes so many things from the games therefore it's not linked to the other parts of the franchise" I just lay the blame to the fact that most of the Pokemon Merchandise are quite interchangeable so there isn't specific stuff sold to cater to the PokeManga viewing audience.

 

[Outkin]

Do they still publish the manga? I was thinking about picking up a new series, so...ya.

If they still do, where would I have to look to find a copy? I've never seen it for sale anywhere.

In the US, it's under the VIZKids banner:

There's also the out of print Electric Tale of Pikachu manga...semi-risque IMO.

Also out of print:
Magical Pokemon Journey

BTW you can also search for the Separate series Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure (The one with Hareta)s, and Anime Movie Manga adaptations on Amazon/B&N.

In Singapore it's under the Chuang-Yi banner:

Sadly there's other manga that hasn't been published outside of Japan/Webcomic form such as:

Pokemon Ranger 1&2, Pokemon Phantom Thief 7, The Trading Card Game manga, and of course the Japan famous Pocket Monsters Comedic Manga.

 

[chamo-chan]

I wonder if we should just compile a list of all the Pokemon manga released so far?
I want to know how many Pokemon mangas there are. (besides Special)

 

[Netto Azure]

http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga.html

Dogasu lists all the available manga in an easy to read format here.

 

[Sharpshooter★]

It's been ages since I read the manga ...
And personally I like it (Special) much more better than the animé
They should have puit this storyline instead of Ash Ketchup

 

[chamo-chan]

Here is a question for you all.

What OTHER pokemon manga have you read? ( aka, any Pokemon manga that is not Pokkemon Special/Adventures. )

 

[Netto Azure]

Diamond and Pearl Adventures, Pokemon Phantom Thief 7, Pokemon Ranger Webcomics, Ginji's Rescue Team. :D, Electric Tale of Pikachu, and some of the anime-movie manga.

Yeah if only more were published here, wouldn't mind to read that Slapstick manga that's famous in Japan lawlz.

 

[Oryx]

Yeah I've read the PMD ones, the Ranger ones, Pokemon 7, and some of the Electric Tale of Pikachu. There are some others that I've read I think and some that I have links to for the future, but the one I REALLY want to read isn't online anywhere and I'm poor :(((

 

[Sharpshooter★]

Only some ranger comics, but not the third one iirc :(

 

[psyanic]

I've read the Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokemon Battle Frontier, and a few movie-based ones.

 

[moon]

LANCE. He is king. Nuff said.

No really, I miss reading the first arcs for the first time... I almost want someone to hit me in the head so that I forget everything and can read them again xD

Don't go hit me now though. I didn't really mean that.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

Only read Ginji's Rescue Team and the Adventures series up to the halfway mark in the Diamond & Pearl arc but my favorite part of the manga would have to be the Ruby & Sapphire arc even though Yellow does come at a very close second.
