Some time after these series were published, the manga industry has shifted to publishing all manga in the original right-to-left format. Therefore, starting with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]], all of VIZ Media's Pokémon titles have been published right-to-left.

===Monthly issues===
In their early years, VIZ Media often published manga in American-style monthly issues before they were published in collected volumes. These issues would often include letters and fan artwork as bonus content. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] were published in this way.

As collected manga volumes have been accepted as the preferred format of manga releases and manga magazines (such as {{wp|Shonen Jump}} and {{wp|Yen Plus}}) have become more widespread in North America, VIZ Media and its competitors no longer publish these American-style monthly issues.
