On July 24,, Viz announced their plans to release the regular volume releases digitally on their digital platform, as well as the digital platforms of their associates such as ComiXology and Amazon Kindle with the first seven volumes available initially and the remaining sagas planned for release between August to December
Volume 10 was released in December, and volumes 11, 12 and volume 30 of the DP arc known as volume 1 of Platinum in Viz's release were released in However, these releases feature both visual and dialogue edits not found in the original English release and original Japanese tankobon release. It was illustrated by Mato during the first nine volumes, while Satoshi Yamamoto started illustrating it since the tenth volume.
The series is written by Hidenori Kusaka. Since the manga is based on the video games, there are some delays with the serialization since the authors need to have seen the games in order to continue with the plot. It was there that he met and befriended Green, and together they escaped from Masked Man and parted ways, but not before Silver gave Green his Horsea and received her Snubbull.
As a young child, Silver was kidnapped by Masked Man for his special skills in battle and to serve under him. Sneasel in this case As a child, he was kidnapped and raised by the evil Masked Man, where he met and became close with Green. Silver was born on the 24th of December and Giovanni is his father. In this brand-new story, you can catch over 360 Pokemon, encounter animated sprites, and find new moves and items. Three are devoted to having gym leaders face off with the legendaries (again), and one and a half is devoted to Surge doing stuff.Īs with previous Crystal volumes, the stuff with Crys is pretty interesting, but I didnt care for the interludes as much. Pokémon Emerald is a game that keeps giving thanks to all of the talented gamers who create Pokémon ROM hacks, and Pokémon Flora Sky is another great addition to the world. Once again, a large portion isnt actually about Crys, about 4 and a half chapters.
And there isnt any other example of censorship this blatant (not saying there wasnt earlier censorship, just none that caught my attention).Īs for story, this volume doesnt have too much in there. Like I said before, this manga hasnt had any problem with violence or freaky stuff in the past that seems worse to have in a childrens manga than a slap to the face. So, dropped a star for obvious censoring. Pokemon are flinching, Crys is falling backwards as if hit with some force, shes on the ground rubbing her cheek next panel. The problem is, everyone is still acting as if Crys was slapped. They redrew her arm so that its at an odd angle behind her (because they cant have it in front, blocking the original artwork), and replaced the SLAP sound effect with GLARE. Why did they feel the need to poorly edit Crystals mother slapping her?Īnd if youre going to edit it, dont make it so obvious. This is a manga that had a rotting zombie Psyduck corpse, an Arbok chopped in half, and Team Rocket attempting (multiple times) to murder children. First and foremost, the obvious, pointless, and poorly done editing. So theres one thing that I need to say for this volume. After an encounter with the powerful legendary Pokemon, Suicune, the girl became determined to catch it, but little did she know that Suicune was actually in search of a trusted partner who could help it thwart an evil looming on the horizon, an evil whose work began 9 years ago, and could potentially bring havoc to both Kanto and Johto.Pokemon Adventures (Gold and Silver), Vol. Meanwhile, Crystal, a young capture specialist, was hired by Professor Oak to help complete his neglected Pokedex. However, he soon found himself intertwined in the evil schemes of the resurrected Team Rocket, now under the leadership of the ominous masked man. Setting out on a journey to chase down Silver, a mysterious thief boy who stole Totodile from Prof Elm's lab, Gold got the chance to meet Gymleaders and other prominent figures in the region.
