New Pokemon

Pok mon: Diamond and Pearl Adventure!, Volume 1 (Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!) The manga series tie-in to the newest generation of the Pok mon collection!

Set in the country Sinnoh, the story follows the adventures of Hareta, a young boy raised in the wild with Pok mon. Recruited by Prof. Rowan, he decides to become a Pok mon trainer after catching his first tame one, Piplup. He and the Professor’s assistant, Mitsumi, set off on a quest to find Dialga, one of the three “Legendary” Pok mon, which is rumored to be able to control time. But Team Galactic, lead by villainous Cyrus, is hunting for Dialga too.
Customer Review: Pokemon Adventure is at it again!
For those of you who don’t know, Pokemon Adventure follows a less childish plot. Still childish, but THE ATTACKING MAKES SENSE!

In the novels, characters will use their surroundings, and rapid switching of pokemon, along with attacks in cunning ways not presented by the show. Moves are often used in new ways. For example, in this manga, Mars, a leader of the evil forces, uses scratch from a pokemon to turn off the power, and then uses Zubat’s supersonic so he’s the only one who can see.

Comedy is also better. There’s a piplup joke that’s pretty much the team rocket “Blasting off” joke, only funnier. The rival also falls in love with any girl he meets, much like brock from the anime, if brock fell in love with enemy girls and Misty/May.

Overall, it’s WAAAAAY better than the Anime. Things actually make sense. So if you’re a pokemon fan that’s too cool for the child’s anime, this is good. There’s nothing bad, really, so it’ll amuse the little fans too.
Customer Review: Pokemon
Although it’s a manga series targeted for kids around 9 to 12, I actually enjoyed the panels and dialogue. Not to mention all the amazingly funny scenes there were. (Hareta biting the grunt’s butt) This first volume definitely had me wanting more from this author. I can’t wait for the third volume to come out!
