Unlike the anime—which, though drawing much inspiration from the games, does not follow them exactly—Pokémon Adventures is a mostly game-based manga, with the twenty-three main characters taking their names from the [[core series]] games and their various adventures tending to stay restricted to their home [[region]]. Also unlike the anime, which has gone to great lengths to indicate the danger of a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] being captured, the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have captured and sometimes use their own legends, much as the {{player}} can in the games. Pokémon Adventures also contains darker elements than other media, including depictions of certain characters and some Pokémon dying.

Beginning in September 1999, Pokémon Adventures was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]. Originally, the series was available as a series of [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly single issues]], a popular format at the time, and the chapters were later released in the more traditional graphic novel format, beginning from {{PAV|1}} in April 2000. Publication ceased in 2003 after the {{arc|Yellow}} concluded with {{PAV|7}}. These translations read from left-to-right with the artwork in reverse from the original version, to conform with the style of North American comics and other Japanese manga published at the time. Other content, such as the route maps at the end of every volume, was omitted as well. Samples from this translation of Pokémon Adventures can be found in the [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures]] volumes, which were both published in 2006.

Samples from this translation of Pokémon Adventures can be found in the [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures]] volumes, which were both published in 2006.


In June 2009, VIZ Media began re-releasing the series beginning from {{PAV|1}}. Rather than just reissue the previous translations, VIZ Media opted for a "second edition" - these volumes feature a new translation, with the right-to-left artwork and all of the content omitted from the previous translation restored. However, the new translation still follows closely to the original translation, containing some of the same dialogue and all the same titles for the chapters, as well as a lack of nicknames for {{Adv|Red}}'s or {{Adv|Green}}'s Pokémon (although Red's Pokémon receive nicknames in later volumes). In addition, these second editions contain edits not found in the first edition, such as the editing of {{adv|Green}}'s battle with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'' to remove the scene of Green hiding {{i|Poké Ball}}s in her top and the [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|recoloring of Jynx]] to match its current color of purple.

Following the second edition of {{PAV|7}}, VIZ Media has begun to release volumes which are new to North America, beginning with {{PAV|8}} in August 2010. While continuing the format of the second editions, there are some edits in the new-to-American audience volumes, like editing a scene of {{Adv|Crystal}}'s mother slapping her in {{PAV|11}} into a glare and editing the scene of [[Norman]] punching {{Adv|Ruby}} into him dropping Ruby due to lightning in {{PAV|17}}. VIZ Media took a break in publication following the release of {{PAV|14}} in August 2011, which concluded the {{arc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} (''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'' was moved to the end of Volume 14). They resumed production of the series with {{PAV|15}} in March 2013.

In July 2010, it was announced that the {{arc|Diamond & Pearl}} would be published concurrently with the {{arc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} as a "second series" called '''Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl/Platinum''', with {{PAV|30}} published as the first volume of the second series. This second series releases one new volume triannually and began publication in February 2011. Continuing this trend, in August 2013 VIZ Media began to release the {{arc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as a separately numbered series, '''Pokémon Adventures: HeartGold & SoulSilver''', consisting of {{PAV|41}} and {{PAV|42}} as volumes one and two. Since the {{arc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} is numbered separately from the {{arc|Black & White}}, the first four chapters of {{PAV|43}} ([[PS457]]-[[PS460]]) were moved to the end of {{PAV|42}} to keep the chapters organised by arc.

Beginning in July 2011, VIZ Media began publishing the magazine version of the {{arc|Black & White}}. Since the chapters were not collected in volume format in Japan at the time of publication, they were released as [[List of Pokémon Black and White volumes|a series of mini-volumes]], titled '''Pokémon Black and White''' and billed as a "Pokémon Adventures special edition". Starting from July 2013, VIZ Media started releasing the regular volume versions as a series called '''Pokémon Adventures: Black & White''', allowing readers the choice between the magazine version and the volume version.

In March 2013, VIZ launched the {{tt|Perfect Square|Sticky Dot until July 2013}} app for the iPad. It allowed users to buy digital copies of children's manga and American comics. Pokémon Adventures is among those included on the app. So far, only Volumes 1-14 and Diamond and Pearl/Platinum Volumes 1-4 have been made available. These same volumes have also been released on the Kindle and Nook eBook stores as well.

On July 25, 2014, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} publisher Pauna Media started publishing the {{arc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{arc|Yellow}} under the combined title ''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green''. The seven volumes of these story arcs were initially scheduled to be released monthly. The Finnish version is based on and translated from the Japanese version. The names of moves, most characters, and Pokémon, however, will be in English by request of English licensors.

This means that {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} follow the English naming as well instead of the original Japanese. Even though the translation is based on the Japanese version, the graphics are based on VIZ Media's second English version, with certain Finnish sound effects added. The edits made to the graphics remain in this version, despite the company's earlier statement on not censoring the series. Pauna Media has plans to release the entire series, although no new volumes have been released in years as of now.

Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|France|European French}} by {{wp|Glénat (publisher)|Glénat}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Great Adventure!}}'''. This translated version was based on the original Japanese, however, the artwork was printed in reverse order in a left-to-right reading format for purposes of publication in France. Each volume was initially split into two monthly issues by Glénat, and were later republished in their original volume presentation. Glénat suddenly had to interrupt this edition due to copyright issues, before the release of {{PAV|7}}, the closing volume of the {{arc|Yellow}}.

[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Since 2011]], the {{arc|Black & White}} has been translated for France by [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurokawa Kurokawa]. This translation respects the original reading format (right-to-left) and is based directly on the magazine version of Pokémon Adventures. As the title ''Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!'' was still trademarked by Glénat, the {{arc|Black & White}} is published with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''.

In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{arc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{arc|Yellow}} in a set of three [[List of Pokémon Adventures omnibus volumes#France|omnibus volumes]], beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the {{arc|Black & White}}. In this edition, Red, Blue and Green are named Rouge, Bleu and Verte, which translate to the same colours in French. Blue and Green's names are switched, as in the English version (Bleu is the male character and Verte is the female character), likely due to the fact that there was no Green version released in France.

In 2015, upon completion of the {{arc|Black & White}}, Kurokawa has begun a French translation of the {{arc|X & Y}} in the same format. Similarly, in commemoration of the release of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Kurokawa has begun an omnibus release of the original {{arc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, previously unissued in France. After that, it continues with the launch of {{arc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in 2016.

In {{pmin|Spain}}, Norma Editorial has acquired the complete license of the manga. Due to the length of the series (52 volumes at the time of announcing the license) and due to different story arcs often starting and ending partway through volumes, Norma Editorial has opted for an omnibus format which groups chapters by arc, including two simultaneous numbering systems (each volume is numbered based on its position in the entire series as well as numbered based on which arc the book collects).
