Pokémon in France: Difference between revisions

[[Pokémon Adventures]] was first translated into French by Glénat using the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Aventure!|Pokémon: The Big Adventure!}}'''. Originally, Glénat split each volume into two separate monthly issues, and then later republished the rounds in their original volume format. Only the first six volumes were published, as Glénat suddenly had to discontinue their edition due to copyright issues. {{Adv|Red}} and {{Adv|Blue}} were renamed to "Sacha" and "Régis", the names used for {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{Adv|Green}} was renamed to "Olga", and {{Adv|Yellow}} to "Jamy". Other characters such as [[Professor Oak]] receive their names from the French versions of the games. This manga was published in a left-to-right format with reversed artwork. Beginning in 2011, the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] started being translated into French by publisher '''Kurokawa''' under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''. The rounds are being collected directly from the magazine publication and are unique from [[VIZ Media]]'s translation of the chapter. The [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|first French volume]] was released on September 8, 2011. Kurokawa's translation of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}} retains the original right-to-left Japanese reading order. In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{MangaArc|Yellow}} in a set of three omnibus volumes, beginning on June 12, 2014 with [[Pokémon Adventures omnibus 1|volume one]]. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!" name, features an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the ''Black & White'' chapter. Following the completion and success of these story arcs, Kurokawa began releasing an omnibus French translation of the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} and a French translation of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}} mini-volumes published in Japan.
