Preliminary (267/? eps)
Pokemon Adventures is a must-read if you grew up on the Pokemon games and anime, since like those mediums, it caters to the thrill of exploration and wonder, something we usually lack as adults.

Pokemon Adventures is a manga i really like and i hold it dear to me.. haven't read this manga too much though (For those that hates Pokémon because of the anime i can tell you that this is WAY better than the anime).


Story: The story is pretty simple and straightforward without plot holes and the outcome of stuff are not clear. Beware that there are many side story chapters but each arc this far had a lot of content so it makes up for it. Some arcs does get too long and drags out the story but it's still good. Some chapters are unnecesary but ...
