In June 2009, VIZ Media began rereleasing the series beginning from {{PAV|1}}. Rather than just reissue the previous translations, VIZ Media has 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, not including any nicknames for {{Adv|Red}} or {{Adv|Green}} like in the original Japanese version (although Red's Pokémon receive nicknames in later volumes), as well as still containing some dialogue from the original releases. 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 [[Poké Ball]]s in her top and the [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|recoloring of Jynx]] to match its current color of purple. They also include edits in the new-to-American audience volumes, like editing a scene of Crys' mother slapping her in volume 11 into a glare.

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. Viz took a break in publication following the publication of {{PAV|14}} in August 2011. They will resume production of the series with {{PAV|15}} in March 2013.


In July 2010, it was announced that the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} would be published concurrently with the {{chap|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. In addition to the rounds from the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, VIZ Media is also publishing rounds from the {{chap|Black & White}} as a third series, '''Pokémon Black and White''', beginning in July 2011. As these rounds are not currently published in volume format in Japan, the rounds are gathered directly from the magazine publication of Pokémon Adventures.

There are no current plans by VIZ Media to release the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} or {{chap|Emerald}}; however, ISBNs have been registered for volumes 15 through 29, suggesting that if these chapters were to be released, they would continue after {{PAV|14}} and not as a fourth, fifth or sixth series, respectively.


VIZ Media's translations of Pokémon Adventures are available in the United States, {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Ireland}}, Australia and South Africa.
