International translations

Dutch covers

In France, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team was translated by Glénat as Pokémon Donjon Mystère : Les secouristes de Ginji. It was serialised in the official Nintendo Magazine and was later published as two collected volumes, each containing three chapters.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team was also translated to Dutch in the Netherlands, also available in Flanders (Dutch-speaking Belgium) at the time, as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Reddingsteam. It was serialised in Jetix Magazine in three issues, as separate small booklets.

Trivia

Error in Dutch version

  • This is the only Pokémon manga that has been published by VIZ Media, but not by Chuang Yi.
  • This was only Pokémon manga to have been translated into Dutch until the release of Pokemon: Het Grote Avontuur Volume 1 in 2023.

Errors

  • In the Dutch version, a very small printed line was accidentally left in English.
