This series has a lot of draws including cutely drawn characters and mysterious creatures, but perhaps the most significant are the thrilling battles. In Pokémon Adventures, battles aren't simply about making the opponent lose consciousness - especially when you're fighting against an evil organization. They can be gravely injured - to the point of losing limbs or even death, forcing trainers to think on their feet. And when even destroying another trainer's poke ball to prevent him from releasing his creatures is considered a valid strategy, there's little room for error. This manga succeeds in bringing Pokémon battles to a whole other level! show less

Me gusto mucho el equipo que lleva Red en este tomo y por donde va la historia pero le doy una estrellita menos porque siento que las bromas no cayeron de la misma forma que en la primera parte, muy recomendable aún así.

A new region, a new protagonist, and many new Pokémon await in this 8th volume of Pokémon Adventures. This time we follow Gold, a fiery young man with good intentions but a big head. When his backpack goes missing and one of Professor Elm's Pokémon is stolen, Gold makes chasing down the thief, Silver, his mission - taking with him another of Elm's Pokémon. But is Silver really an enemy?
This new trainer often uses a very unique method for releasing his Pokémon - a pool cue. This show more strategy allows him to send his Pokémon into battle from exactly the right location, and it's only the first of many clever ideas. This volume seems to put more emphasis on strategy and power than on teamwork and kindness unlike Yellow's story, which suits our slightly conceited new hero. Still, he seems to care a great deal for his Pokémon, as any good trainer should. It will be interesting to see where this new chapter of Pokémon Adventures will lead us. show less

The Pokemon manga is an ongoing series of books that work to tell a story based on the characters created in the 90's smash hit video game of the same name. The series carries an overall message of perseverance. The book emphasizes the need to train and work hard to be able to achieve your dreams. this is shown through the main character's journey to become a Pokemon master by training his Pokemon to take on the Pokemon gym league challenge and claim the title of league champion. I like this show more book because it makes me nostalgic for my childhood when I spent lang days playing Pokemon to become a Pokemon master. However, I do realize there are some faults with the book. One of these faults comes from the fact that the book was written in Japan and then translated into English for the American audience. The result of this process led to several localization errors that break the flow of the story. One such error was the mislabeling of a food item commonly eaten in japan. The item was a simple rice ball filled with fish, but the translation changes this item to be called a jelly donut. In a normal book, this may have slipped by, but because this book is a graphic novel the rice ball is shown but the text reads jelly donut which may confuse the reader. The localization team took an opportunity to teach readers about the food of a different culture and ruined it by substituting the dishes name for an American dish which results in confusion in the reader who notices the food item isn't actually a donut breaking the readers' emersion in the story. Aside from the localization errors, this book is a decent read with a focus on fast-paced action. The fast-paced action works to engage the reader in the text quickly while building the readers excitement as the book progresses. The action is best exemplified during Pokemon battles, where Pokemon trainers fight to see whose Pokemon are the strongest. show less
