Adventures is cited by Satoshi Ken as being the closest adaptation to how he imagined Pokémon when he first came up with them. At the end of the Kanto arc, the OG Elite 4 try to take over the region with armies of their type Pokémon, and the gym leaders spearhead the resistance while Red and Blue (Ash and Gary, respectively) fight Lance.
It’s fucking intense! During the Fire Red/Leaf Green arcs, Red (Ash) uses Mewtwo in a showdown against Giovanni and Deoxis. I think I stopped reading around the end of the Diamond/Pearl arc, and Diamond (the boy I think) teaches his Torterra how to use Razor Leaf to shoot a single leaf as accurate as a sniper!
And in the Lavender Town ghost tower, they fight actual zombified dead Pokémon. Or maybe it was an illusion? Been a while, guess it’s time for a reread.
Pokémon Adventures manga, Kanto arc.

That’s awesome!
That sounds bad ass. Why couldn’t we’ve gotten a tv adaptation of that? I want a dark Pokémon cartoon
It’s less kid-friendly and less profitable. Pokemon has been printing money for Nintendo for decades.

Yup. Just ordered the set for the first 7. I’m stoked for this.
