[edit] Relation to the games' storylines

I haven't read this manga, so all I can really contribute is formatting... but how closely does it really follow the game series? The Elete Four thing sounds pretty out of whack with things in the games – that's following the games about as closely as Pokémon the First Movie did... but, it could generally follow the games besides that, I have no idea. Obviously it's not going to be a verbatim transcript of the games, but... anyay, can someone who's read this clarify a little? --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 14:29, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

I haven't read the manga itself, but I read a summary of one of the "chapters" and found that Misty is a little like in the anime (as in the fact that she wanders around Kanto instead of taking care of her gym. I don't know if her sisters from the anime are present in the Mnaga or not)

Yes, it's true that the Elite Four are evil in this manga. This series takes quite a few liberties on the actual games.

Indeed. I've read chapter summaries at Serebii.net.

i have virtually all of the English-translated versions, and it completely blows the anime out of the water. For one thing, it has a REAL story, plus it's much more dramatic and ocasionally even graphic. One image i seem to recall is an Arbok getting sliced in half!

Yeah, I also prefer the manga to the anime. I like its story line and its drama. Nhl1988 19:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Team Rocket name?

“Rocket” is an acronym for “Raid On the City, Knock-out, Evil Tusks.”

WTF? where did this come from? Never heard of it, doubt it's true. Needs to be confirmed or removed.

Giovanni says it in a flashback of Team Rocket's founding late in the GSC series. --Happy Mask Man 02:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's weird and makes no sense, but yes, it's true, at least in the Chuang Yi translations, which I have.

[edit] the Truth

Everything in the Pokemon Adventures page is pretty much true. The manga deviates quite a bit from the game, picking up hints here and there to formulate a new story altogether. You may recall that Agatha tells you in the game that Proffessor Oak used to be quite a man, just that now he just wants to tinker with his pokedex; that is reflected in the storyline of the manga as she holds a grudge against Proffessor Oak in the series.

As for the Team Rocket acronym- sadly, that /is/ true. Certain things have been lost in translation and the Singapore team isn't as gifted as Viz. So it turned out sounding odd, but at /least/ it makes some kind of sense.

Misty and Brock both stay put in their respective gyms. The sisters do not appear. Blue's sister is known as Daisy, and she appears to help Prof. Oak out with his research in the later novels, starting from novel 6.

Don't worry about the Arbok. It's made to develop a secret power of being able to regenerate itself. :D

About Arbok, it is said the the patern on its chest decided its special power.Nhl1988 19:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Blue's sister was called May in the Yellow saga. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.197.57.83 (talk) 02:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please Expand!

For over a month, I have added a large section on the different chapters of Pokémon Adventures. However, it would seem to me that that particular section is getting more anonymous edits and almost no registered edits. It cannot be that I am the only registered user in this whole encyclopedia who knows a fraction of the storyline. There may be other Wikipedians who actually know the storyline of the first four Chapters, yet do not wish to chip in effort to contribute. It is very strange if that is so. Is the section on Chapters uncyclopedic? If so, please let me know. You guys joined Wikipedia to contribute to it, not slack. If you know the storyline, please expand the section! -- Altiris Exeunt 00:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I also love this manga. However, it is recently put on hiatus in my country, so I am quite un capable of it, but I'll try my best to help watever i cam Nhl1988 19:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Should Green's and Blue's name remain US version or Japan's?

Well, you might shout at me with tons of reason, state that their name should remain US name, but it that so? In FRLG saga chapter 292, it states that Green (Blue in US) traded his Charizard for Red's Saur to make the prefect match Fire Red and LEAF GREEN. Now, please tell me the answer?

I think the name should also be like in Japan's version. That's would make more sense amd more coherent to the story line. Not only those two, but should all the name remaine in Japanese, the manga, after all, is not the same as the anime if not completely seperated. Nhl1988 19:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree as well. If only someone would be kind enough to change it. I would if I'm allowed to.

[edit] Blue (green) develops feelings for green(blue)?

realy I think that that part in the article should be removed asi is more a Fan theory than a confirmed fact, so I will remove it unless some one has any facts that justify to have it

[edit] Comedy??

While PokeSpecial certainly has it's humorous moments, I don't see how it could be classified as comedy. Even Ruby/Sapphire, which is the most comedic one (unless it gets funnier at a part I haven't read yet... I'm through the first few chapters of Emerald), turned out to be very dramatic in the end... does it become more comedic in Emerald and DP?
