Pokémon Adventures (7 Volume Set - Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for all ages)

As a Pokémon lover, I have been wanting to collect more of the manga. Seeing as this boxset was such an excellent price, I had to get it! It came packaged well, still in its wrap. The colors of both the box and manga covers are very vibrant and attractive. It comes with a free mini poster which features the cover of the first volume. It is a must have for any Pokémon fan! There is something in the first volume which may frighten or disturb children. However, I haven't seen anything else too graphic in the other volumes I have read thus far. If I were to choose the youngest aged child I'd let read these, I'd probably say 8 years old. At that age I think a child could understand how to read a manga, follow the plot, and not get too confused or scared by any of the scenes. I am 30 (and have been a lifelong Pokémon fan), and find the manga series very entertaining. It is a slightly more mature take on the Pokémon universe, and you get a better look at how diabolical Team Rocket really can be. There is, of course, plenty of humor and moments of levity to balance out all the action that takes place. These manga are very well done, and I think they could help hook new fans who aren't familiar with the games or animated show. I think they're 100% worth picking up to add to your Pokémon collection (or your child's or friend's)! Note that it, of course, doesn't come with the Pokémon plushies included in my photos (they are from later generations, anyhow)! I just thought to include them for the cuteness factor!

By a certain age, I had kind of grown out of the Pokemon anime. I still adored the games, but the anime just had too many episodes with too little genuine development. So I was very excited when I got into Pokemon Adventures, a manga series more directly based off the games. Instead of Ash, we have Red, the young Pallet Town protagonist, and his rival is the grandson of Oak. Aside from the presence of a Pikachu, that's essentially where the similarities to the cartoon end. We join Red as he raises his Pokemon, fights the evil organisation of Team Rocket (not Jessie and James) and collects badges, all on his journey to be the very best (like no one ever was). This set actually includes two story arcs. The second joins a child named Yellow on a new adventure, which includes most of the characters from the first arc. The only mild downside to this release is the presence of minor censorship. What makes it seem a bit silly is that some rather violent images are left untouched, while mildly sexual situations are edited. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but it's still not something that makes sense to me. Basically, this set is great value for money. The books are housed in an attractive box that will look nice on your shelf, and it comes with a very small, but nice poster that is now up on my wall. I can't wait to buy more of these sets.

== Story == I absolutely love the Pokemon Adventures series (aka Pokemon Special) and this seven volume set contains my two favorite arcs. The story is very different from what you'd expect and follows neither the Pokemon games nor the anime. Sure, it follows the adventures of Red as he tries to defeat all 8 Kanto Gyms and the Elite Four and you'll recognize many familiar faces and scenarios but other parts of the story are completely exclusive to the manga which make it quite refreshing even if you're well-versed in the Pokemon universe. Just a note to parents of younger children, although not extremely violent, I would say that this series is a bit more violent than what you'd normally associate with the Pokemon series. There are some scenes where Pokemon are actually killed (as opposed to fainting) and the protagonists' lives are actually put in danger as opposed to the comical schemes of Team Rocket in the anime series. == Value == At this price, it's definitely a steal compared to buying all seven volumes individually at ~$10 ea. It was an instant buy for me. If the vast price difference makes you skeptical, let it be known that these are indeed standard sized manga and now where inferior to any way (at least from what I can tell) to other Viz Media manga. I've included photos comparing the product's size and quality with anime Viz Media manga that I had on hand. One minor irk I had about the product that doesn't really affect my grading was the included poster. The poster's size wasn't specified on the product page when I bought this set and when you read that the set comes with a color poster, you automatically think a full-sized poster. Instead, the included poster is 6 1/2' x 9 3/4'. It's also identical to the art featured on the first volume of the set so it's nothing really special. It's definitely not a big deal and it was an added bonus either way.

Arrived in great condition

Arrivato in modo celere e prodotto come da descrizione. Tutto perfetto.

This is my favorite version of the first generation pokemon story told in 7 volumes. it's a good reading gift for Kids.

2023'te 1000 TL'ye almıştım ama şu an 5000'e falan satılıyor şu an alınmaz. Öte yandan Pokemon Adventures serisinin diğer setleri şu an 2000 küsür onlar alınabilir.
