>play Pokémon Yellow back in 1998, start watching the anime next year, including the movie, and collecting the pogs
>gen 2 was mindblowing, gen 3 was really fun and looked even better on gba
>lose interest in the anime, lose interest in the games
>get into the tcg for a brief moment in the 2010s, end up realizing its shit as a game and I only care about the art, not even collecting them
>everything Pokémon becomes shit, devoid of soul, and wasted potential
>finally start reading this last week out of curiosity with all the ZA fuzz
>its the best Pokémon media ever made
After all this years, I found it again....the SOUL

I see this at Books A Million every time I go in and i never know if its worth reading or not. I didn't know if it was official or not

I loved the BW arc of the manga. It's in my opinion the strongest iteration of Gen 5 because it uses the different characters into the grander scheme, White and Black the characters are quite profound in their words and one of the few Pokemon characters across all their medias who followed through with their promises and it has some of the most memorable panels of the Manga alongside RB's and XY's either for the beautiful panels or the sheer absurdity of the situation of them.

Plus the reunion after seven years was the cherry on top.

Yellow was released in 1999 in the US (and 2000 in Europe). Nice LARP, retard.

The Pokemon Special manga is like the only dose of soul left in this franchise. It's still written exclusively for late elementary/early middle school Japanese readers of CoroCoro Comic and not cancer that is worldwide general audience.

Is this manga still running? I had a copy of this first issue as a kid. I think the only thing I remember is Daisy being in it and her having big fucking tits.

The one you remember is "Electric Tale of Pikachu" and ended a long time ago, it didn't even get to Gen 2.
