Miss Mato's drawing makes this series a pleasure to look at, simple yet very easy to perceive, the fights are never an agglomerate of blows that you don't know what's happening and Sir Hidenori Kusaka did a good job giving a balance at showing the game on his story. So you may find it weird to find that half of this translated series is a pun factory, and not a very good one at that, it gets annoying throughout the third volume. There's blood (gore I would say), a bit of fan service, and some themes are actually very adult like in a sense. Which you could say that it is to be expected since it's aim is for children, however I looked at the Japanese version of this series and I sure hope that no children are reading this, at least not children below the teen age. Everything is way too childish and censored. Really enjoyed the adventure but I feel like the translation is a huge deceptive train wreck. So far, I've read the whole 1º collection of the Pokémon Adventure series, and I believe that it's up to this one, volume 7. To those of us who expected something kiddy for kids, the manga offers something far more potent for our delirious delight. Ferociously imaginative and undyingly energetic, the world spanning possibilities of the Pokemon universe are illustrated with mind expanding delight here. When fully shorn of the camp and puerile proclivities of each respectively, it’s the manga that is the true gem in the rough. Yet what I actually enjoyed overall was the utter uniqueness of the manga when fully contrasted with its adjoining anime and Gameboy game. I won’t spoil anything, but I was pleased with the ending. Finally uniting to oppose the evil Elite 4’s wicked plan to replace humanity with a Pokemon only world, solely the dreams and talents of our heroes can hopefully bring to a close their dastardly vision. After hundreds of Hyer-Beams, Hyrdo-Pumps, and whatever other Poke attacks we can name, they’ve all coalesced here to stunning effect. There’s a lot to go over but, I’ll try to be brief.Ĭrushing in its totality, hella threads of narrative have been finally united with their internalized teloses. I’m sad it ended but ultimately glad it happened.
