Viz is re-releasing Pokemon Adventures!

Well I do apologize for our very partisan rhetoric. It's just that some of us in the Pokemon fandom has had enough of the Kiddie stereotype and want change. And the fact that the Anime only has rare bursts of creativeness in terms of storyline isn't really helping the situation. =P I mean you know how repetitive the plot is. We're just criticizing it to motivate the writers into being inspired. ^_^

Also getting a better version than the "zombiefied best of series" is quite an Arceus sent to the US fandom. =P

Well, it's a kid show so don't pay attention to it. Just continue to read the manga and pretend the animé doesn't exist. Then again, I guess it's just wants that everyone has.

Actually S. Magumarashi the anime did display some seen in the first season that was considered unsituable for children in the U.S., but they were all cut out when they came to the United States. I also use to watch it when I was a child and I was to this page a few years ago to see what was edited out.

I do not think it is the anime alone that is causing the kiddie steretype when I went in Barnes & Noble today I was searching for another Pokemon manga under the manga section and I could not find it. So I ask one of where the manga I was looking for she took me back in the kid's section of Barnes and Noble and the other Pokemon manga was there along with the 'Best of Pokemon Adventures.' So it is no wonder that people think that Pokemon is just for kids. It is one thing to turned an anime into a kiddie show, but turning certain into a kiddie's manga is another thing. I have a feeling they when they reprint Pokemon Adventure that they will edited all of the profanity and extreme violence out of it. I hope this will not be the case though. The stores here were I live should start show people that Pokemon is for people of all ages.

It appears that it will be left unflipped.

Editorial Reviews for Volume 1 said:
Reads R to L (Japanese Style) Red doesn't want to train Pokémon, he wants to be their friend too. Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl seem game. but independent Pikachu won't be so easy to win over!And watch out for Team Rocket, Red... They only want to be you
Red's mission in life is to catch and train all the Pokémon in the world...so he needs to get started while he's still a boy. But these Pokémon aren't inside his Gameboy or Nintendo or Wii...they're real!Red has some stiff competition when his path cros

It's a kid show in Japan and still a kids show in America. Even in early cartoons that were made in America, guns were used in some of the viewings. That was just 4Kids being 4Kids.

Yes it did say that on the page that a link.:embarrass Anyway I really do not like the idea of people editing material out of manga though just so that it can be made suitable for children that live in certain countries. There are manga for children also and that are called Kodomo manga so they should present those to children in the U.S to read instead. They should not put all of the Pokemon manga in the children section like that because some of them are not Kodomo manga. I also think that they stop at volume 7 because Viz probably felt that the violence in the Pokemon Special were getting to extreme for the children in the U.S. with was not a good thing to do.

Speaking of Pokemon Mangas I never seem any of them in the UK, can't find any in Waterstones (a book shop) yet they got Naruto, One Piece and Dragonball Z -_-.

Does Amazon UK sell Pokemon Mangas?

Yes Amazon UK does sell them, but the nest of versions which to be honest isn't worth your time. If you want them, then import them from Singapore. They aren't that expensive.

Naruto and the likes are very popular, god forbid, within the Manga community which is why they are being sold in our country. The Manga/Anime industry is that great here compared to America.

But VIZ dubs Naruto and that's a pre-teen show, so I'm sure that they would've recognized that PokéSpecial was aimed at a slightly older audiance. Of course, if I were the creator, I wouldn't mind editing as long as it makes me money.

If the author decides to edit PokeSpe to make more money by "toning down the unwanted stuff" it's uniqueness in the Pokemon Fandom will be lost...The alluring quality of its maturity is one of the reasons people read it. If it is toned down for the younger audiences...we might as well watch the anime =/ (No offense just a comparison.)

No offense taken. But I wasn't talking about the author editing it, I was talking about the distributor in another country because in the end, business peopole want to make money. I mean, isn't this a reason why hardcore animé/manga fans use the internet: to see the original version of what they enjoy.
 
see now all the people that thought this was never going to happen eariler this year is like so wrong right now...me and friend cant wait to buy them i got her into pokemon adventures and when i told she freaked out!!!
