'''Pokémon manga''' (Japanese: '''マンガ''' ''manga''), unlike the [[Pokémon anime]], does not actually refer to one specific {{wp|manga}} or one particular piece of [[Pokémon]] [[canon]] but, rather, an entire subcategory of comics written with their own storylines and interpretations of the [[Pokémon world]]. These frequently have no connection to one another beyond their medium.

Many Pokémon manga are never translated into English. This is likely because of manga being more traditional in Japan. Additionally, some series contain scenarios and artwork considered inappropriate for Western audiences. Sometimes the artwork is cleaned-up for foreign publishing, as was the case with [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, but some Japanese publishers prefer not to have the artwork changed.
