 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 thirteen main characters taking their names from the [[main 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]] being captured, the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have captured and sometimes use their own legendaries, 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 series was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]; however, publication stopped after the {{chap|Yellow}}. In June 2009, VIZ began re-releasing the series from volume 1. Unlike the original English releases, which read from left-to-right like Western comics and had the art mirrored from the Japanese releases, these re-released volumes retain the original format, with the pages going from right-to-left. Following the re-release of Volume 7, Viz will begin to release volumes 8 on onwards for the first time in the Unites States.
