Pokémon Adventures: Difference between revisions

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-one 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 [[Legendary Pokémon|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 certain characters and some Pokémon actually dying.

The grand opening of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} takes an unexpected twist when {{adv|Emerald}} appears on the scene. Now he must conquer the seven facilities in seven days. However, even with a seemingly unmatched ability in battling and access to every Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} has ever caught, [[Guile Hideout]], the mysterious stranger that attacks [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] and is seeking {{adv|Jirachi}}, may be more of a worry than they first thought, especially if he catches Jirachi first.

This chapter follows Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as she enters the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} to gather information on the mysterious [[Distortion World]] so she can rescue [[Paka and Uji|two very important people]]. Joining Platinum is [[Looker]], member of the [[International Police]], who aims to investigate the villainous [[Team Galactic]].

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.

Since October 2013, [[Panini Comics]] has released eight volumes of the {{chap|Black & White}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: Schwarz und Weiss|Pokémon: Black and White}}'''. In May 2015, Panini Comics started releasing translated [[List of Pocket Monsters Special XY volumes|Japanese mini-volumes]] of the {{chap|X & Y}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon X und Y|Pokémon X and Y}}'''. Beginning in January 2016, it started releasing volumes of Pokémon Adventures, these volumes combine the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} with the {{chap|Yellow}}.

Pokémon Adventures ('''포켓몬스터 스페셜''' ''Pokémon Special'') is translated into {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} by 대원씨아이 ''{{wp|Daewon C.I.}}'', which has released up to {{PAV|51}} to date.

*Throughout the series, almost every protagonist starts out with a Pokémon other than the traditional starter Pokémon that are chosen in the games, except {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|White}}, and {{adv|Blake}}. However, each protagonist eventually gets one, usually near the start of the chapter.

*The starters of each region that are given to characters based on the male protagonists in the games cycle through {{t|Grass}} ({{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|X}}), {{t|Fire}} ({{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|Sun}}), and {{t|Water}} ({{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Blake}}).

**This also applies to characters based on the female protagonists in the games, which cycle through Water ({{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Platinum}} and {{adv|Y}}), Grass ({{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|White}} and {{adv|Moon}}), and Fire ({{adv|Sapphire}}). Currently, the only exception to this rule is {{adv|Whitley}}, who has yet to own any of the starters.
