First Pokemon Manga?

[Teltu]

(This was just kind of a post to revive this category)But it's just kind of a weird question. What was your first Pokemon manga? Mine was "Best Of Pokemon Adventures Red". I didn't realize it was skipping chapters, so I was like "umm, am I missing something?".

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

My first was Magical Pokémon Journey and possibly Electric Tale of Pikachu.

 

[Falconwing]

Adventures Vol. 1

 

[7tx]

"Best Of Pokemon Adventures Red".

Won it in the second chance prize draw for new years here on BMGf. Should be here soon...

 

[Lil Brother]

The first issue of the "Pikachu Shocks Back" mini-series (based upon the episode The Flame Pokémon-athon). Y'know, back in Viz's 'Americanzation" stage.

 

[Zesty Cactus]

Electric Tale of Pikachu. I am still baffled to this day why they over-promoted that one and semi-ignored Pokemon Adventures (which is far better).

 

[MajorTom]

Adventures Vol. 1
Chapter 1: Mew

 

[Kaguya]

I started with the DP series, which is volume 30.. Then go back to Emerald..

 

[Quest]

Adventures volume 2, chapter 15.

Then, I went and found it elsewhere and read the entire series up to Emerald.

I think mine was the Electric Tale of Pikachu, but it could have been one of the early chapters of Adventures as well. I don't remember that far back.

 

[Dogasu]

Mine was Electric Tale of Pikachu.

My first Japanese language one was Pokemon Getto Da Ze!, IIRC.

 

[PlatinumDude]

My first Pokemon-related mangas were Pokemon Special volumes 1-3

 

[Transfinite]

Mine was Magical Pokemon Journey. I thought it looked really dumb, but now I love it ♡

 

[Insanish Danish]

The first volume of Pokemon Special.

 

[Metabee]

I've only ever owned one, sadly. Pokémon Adventures Vol. 5, Chapter - Sigh For Psyduck. I dunno why I haven't bought more, I really enjoyed it.

 

[OneWingedMuse]

Electric Tales of Pikachu... and any ones following that in the series. I didn't really find any other manga until I was much older and I received them from a friend who was cleaning out their house.

I actually love MPJ. I had no idea it existed until I saw a copy of volume 2 at the public library like, last year. I've only been able to find that vol 2 and I borrowed vol 1 from a friend.
