The Singaporean-English version published by Chuang Yi stays very faithful and true to the original Japanese edition in terms of both the cover art and translations. (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation#Fidelity_vs._transparency Translation Fidelity]) | |||
On the hand, VIZ Media takes liberties with changing the cover art and translation to cater more to the American audience. For example, in the original Japanese edition, the original title for every single chapter is always in the format "VS <Pokemon name>" but this is drastically changed and edited out in the American edition published by VIZ Media.
