   I've read a couple of the individual comics in this omnibus, and they were good for what they were. Definitely a different take on Ash and crew than you get from the anime.

   It was Pokémon. What more need be said? Well, I was young, and hooked on the games that my bastard parents had introduced me to at the tender age of 8, which gave all the merchandise associated therewith a certain appeal that it wouldn't otherwise have had. I did not like this manga, but I do like some things the mangaka has done under a different name, which are sadly absent from this site. hehehe It was Pokémon. What more need be said?

   My parents somehow won a set of Ono's four-volume Pokemon manga, and my brother and I argued over them for hours. We both loved Pokemon and liked this series - and only liked because it was a lot different from the TV show in content, a surprise both fascinating and confusing. The manga was darker and more violent than the show was, portraying characters a little less cliched and lovable; I appreciate that more now than I did at eight. This is a fun read for Pokemon fans.

   I am almost embarrassed to say that I read these, but then again, I was also young and these comics were popular. It's not a good excuse, but what else can I say? The comedy, in retrospect, wasn't all that great, the dialogue pretty much sucked, but I still remember enjoying it. I guess it's a weird thing when you're younger, you enjoy everything.

   Somehow Ash has a lot of Pokemon already and it never shows him catching them. Story more about Pikachu.

   Volume 2 of Pikachu's adventures was just as adorable as volume 1! Brock and Misty decide to join Ash and his ragtag team of Pokemon. The adventures in this volume include Ash using a friend's Ponyta (which evolves to Rapidash) to beat a cheat in a race, helping a young boy making a decision about whether or not to evolve his Eevee, Pikachu, Charmander and Bulbasaur going to a secret Pokemon village, and Pikachu joining a wild pack of Pikachu and having to choose between them and Ash. Also, Team Volume 2 of Pikachu's adventures was just as adorable as volume 1! Brock and Misty decide to join Ash and his ragtag team of Pokemon. The adventures in this volume include Ash using a friend's Ponyta (which evolves to Rapidash) to beat a cheat in a race, helping a young boy making a decision about whether or not to evolve his Eevee, Pikachu, Charmander and Bulbasaur going to a secret Pokemon village, and Pikachu joining a wild pack of Pikachu and having to choose between them and Ash. Also, Team Rocket enters the story! Once again, the disjointed adventures although cute had no real flow and made it somewhat awkward to read straight through. I think these would be a great introduction to manga for younger kids, especially if they're fans of the show...almost word for word it follows the episodes, but the art work is both silly and detailed.

    Despite the fact the English version had to be heavily censored cause the children characters being half naked, good manga series! Some of the pokemon designs are so kickass I mean Koffings face? Hilarity. I also love Pikachu and his beautiful Trans girlfriend that was real cute. A lot of the stories are loosely based on Tv episodes but a lot more fleshed out even the secondary characters are shown to be more fleshed out its insane.

    Another fun entry in this series. I like that it retells some of the stories and episodes from the anime, but in an even more overtly Japanese way. Fun characterizations of Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket abound. Plus I don't think Pikachu has ever looked as cute as he does when drawn by Toshihiro Ono. Another fun entry in this series.
