Monthly releases

Issue #1: Mysterious Mew

Preceding the release of Volume 1 in North America were five monthly releases containing three chapters each, comprising the entire Volume 1 as well as the first chapter of Volume 2. These monthly comic book issues were released by VIZ Media between September 24, 1999 and January 28, 2000, followed by the Volume 1 release in April. As a bonus, these monthly releases each contained a sheet of stickers which were not included in the regular volume releases. The following monthly comic book issues were released:

Trivia

  • Despite Red's Poli debuting as a Poliwhirl, the contents page of this volume show Red with a Poliwag.
  • Charmander has spines on its back on the title page, similar to its Generation I back sprites, but this is absent in future generations.

Errors

  • There are a few spelling and grammar errors in the brief description of the second volume.
  • "See Red in his disguise!" is "See Red is disguise!".
  • "An appearance by Mew!" is "An appearans by Mew!".
  • "A mysterious living thing!" is "Mysterious Living Thing!".
  • In VIZ Media's second edition, the Adventure Route Map has Electabuzz misspelled as "Electrabuzz".
  • In the overview of Red's team at the end of the book, Saur is listed as a pure Grass type instead of Grass/Poison.
  • There is a printing error that occurs in the Finnish edition. Two pages are repeated by accident, effectively removing two pages entirely: page 108 is replaced by page 101, and page 110 is replaced by page 103.
