I've been a pokemon fan since the days of ruby and sapphire, and honestly I was starting to get a little tired of it. The show, the games, even the cards (my personal favorite). I knew they had a manga, but I never bothered to pick it up. Until now of course. I decided to give the series one last chance. I picked up the first three at Barnes and Noble and was hooked on Red's story immediately! I loved the fact that team rocket was actually cruel (I'm not sure why though...)! I was sad when I found out that Red story was ending (sort of) but when I started reading this volume, I loved the manga even more! *SPOILERS* I mean, Red getting kidnapped, some mysterious kid (you might of recognized him from an earlier chapter, especially when he pulled out that Rattata of his!) showing up and taking Pika on some sort of idiotic rescue mission. I loved it! This is the kind off stuff I live for (lol)! The only reason I gave it a four is because I think they really could of built on the story a bit more.
Art Style: Sort of a mix between chibi and traditional style. It fits the style of the manga well 5/5
Story: A good basic story line. They could of easily built on it more 3/5
Characters: Love the character designs and their personalities. Especially Blue 5/5
Over All: A decent story line with an interesting, but suitable, art style and good character design 4/5
Hope you liked my review!
 Two years have passed since the end of Pokemon Adventures Volume 3Jun 17, 2011

Two years have passed since the events at the end of Pokémon Adventures Volume 3. Red receives a challenge for a battle, which he accepts and leaves Pallet Town to do so. A month passes, and Red does not return home; also, no one has heard from during that time. However, Red's Pikachu (named Pika) suddenly arrives at Professor Oak's lab, and Pika looks rather battered. Shortly after Pika's appearance, a mysterious boy in a big straw hat also appears; he's been following Pikachu. It turns out the boy's name is Yellow, and he's trying to look for Red. This manga volume follows Yellow and Pika's adventures as they go on their journey to locate Red.
My kids and I both noticed that in the information section included at the front of this volume, some of the characters are mislabeled. Brock is labeled as Lt. Surge, Misty is labeled as Koga, Erika is labeled as Sabrina, and Blaine is labeled as Giovanni. It would have been nice if the editor of this volume had caught this mistake before this manga volume went to press. Outside of that, however, everything else seems to be correct.
Visually, the art style is in this manga volume continues in the exact same manner as the previous three volumes. There are plenty of Pokémon battles that take place in the story, so there are more of the "busy" panels with a lot going on in them. I have to say that I really like the art style for Yellow, because it really fits with his kind and caring personality. However, I really don't like the design for Bruno, because he looks too much like Brock. When I first saw him, I assumed he was Brock until another character referenced him by name. Since I haven't read further in the series, I don't know if there is any kind of significance to the physical similarities between Brock and Bruno. I guess I'll have to read on and see.
I would recommend reading this volume of Pokémon Adventures if you have read and appreciated the previous three volumes in the series.
Pokemon Adventures is rated "A," which means it is suitable for readers of all ages.
I wrote this review after reading a copy of this manga volume that my son checked out through the King County Library System.
