    Hi, I wanted to get into the Pokemon manga, but I'm not really sure where to start.
    What is/are the traditional Pokemon Manga(s) that people read? Thanks.
     
    The main one that everyone knows of and reads is Pokemon Special, or Pokemon Adventures in English. Often people will just refer to that as "the Pokemon manga" so that's by far the most well-known.

    But by no means do you have to start there! It's just the easiest to get ahold of as far as reading it, but there are plenty of other series that are each a bit different from each other so you can find one that you can really connect to.
     
    Yeah, a lot of people follow Pokemon Special/Adventures. It's really popular and I guess you could call it a 'standard'.

    I also think The Electric Tale of Pikachu is also quite popular. It's based on the anime, just with a few tweaks here and there. I thought it was a good read.
