On July 25, 2014, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} publisher Pauna Media started publishing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} under the combined title ''Pokémon Adventures: Red, Blue & Green''.

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.

[[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Since 2011]], the {{chap|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 {{chap|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 {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|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 {{chap|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.
