![]() Red decides he needs to get out into the world if he’s doing to become a truly strong trainer and not just a big Magikarp in a tiny pond. However, unlike his game counterpart, he seems to have a bit more sense, backing out of the Mew battle when he realizes how underpowered his Pokémon are in comparison to a mythical creature. The manga version of Blue is still pretty unfriendly to Red. When he runs into his soon-to-be-rival Blue in a battle with the mythical Mew, Red takes his first loss. Red is used to being the best Pokémon trainer around–not too surprising, since he’s only seen being challenged by kids about half his age. The first volume naturally follows the protagonist Red on his journey through the Kanto region. (I was right the collector’s edition did make a couple changes from the original release.) I actually dug out an old single issue I got, mostly to compare a scene I thought I remembered a little differently. There’s several different variations of Pokémon manga, but Pokémon Adventures is the longest running. It’s been ages since I read any of the Pokémon manga, but seeing as how the games have hit their 25th anniversary (turning 26 tomorrow), I thought it might be fun to give them another look for this month’s retro review. Release Date: August 8th, 1997 (Collector’s Edition released April 14, 2020.) Pokémon Adventures, Vol 1 by Hidenori Kusaka and Mato ![]()
