![]() Recommendations: I love Pokémon and have always wanted a little more story than I got while watching the Indigo League. Series status: I don’t think I’ll be doing reviews for every book in this series because there’s not a ton of depth within each one (limited by the word count and general nature of the format), but I’m definitely looking forward to working my way through them. ![]() There are still plenty of funny moments, but overall it’s darker, and because of that I’m liking it a lot more. The manga takes itself much more seriously. The tv show kind of bubble-gummed it up with how they portrayed Team Rocket and how they tamed down the interactions with the Pokémon (much less violent). I was super disappointed that the “gotta catch em all” thing wasn’t represented in the tv series (like, hardly any at all…wtf?) so reading this feels like getting a second chance to satisfy my cravings: the more Pokémon caught, the better.Īnother difference is the grittiness. The biggest improvement is the Pokémon interaction in the manga. And actually, the storylines are parallel so far, but they are told so differently that it’s like reading a whole new series. I don’t play the pocket video games, I chose time for other things over Pokémon Go! (Because I would’ve HAD to catch them all to satisfy my completionist attitude), and I stopped collecting cards after the next generation of Pokémon came out.įrom my experience, this series is most in line with the Indigo League tv series. And I still love playing Pokémon Stadium 1&2 and Pokémon Snap on Nintendo 64. I’m also not suuuper well-versed in the Pokémon universe aside from having a huge card collection from when I was a kid (I have ALL the original cool shit from the first 151 Pokémon), and I’ve watched Indigo League and a few other series/movies. I think I feared diving in further for two reasons: 1. I’ve read maybe a handful of manga over the years, and although it’s not a genre I’m well versed in, I liked everything I picked up. So I happily blew my grocery budget on them and went home. My I think y’all can probably relate to this: I was minding my own business in Costco the other day when I came across box sets for the ENTIRE first 30 books in the Pokémon Adventures series… and I just had to have them. ![]() I think y’all can probably relate to this: I was minding my own business in Costco the other day when I came across box sets for the ENTIRE first 30 books in the Pokémon Adventures series… and I just had to have them.
