Editor's Sidebar: Where we hear directly from VIZ editors about series they're currently working on.

Let’s face it, your old Pokémon Adventures graphic novels are starting to show their age—maybe fraying at the edges, looking a bit out of place next to your fancy volumes of JoJo’s and 3-in-1’s of Naruto and One Piece. But worry no more about your original favorite being left behind.

VIZ is releasing shiny new editions of the entire original series in ten new volumes, the first of which contains Pokémon Adventures volumes 1, 2 and 3, with story by Hidenori Kusaka and art by Mato. These look great on any bookshelf and are the perfect place to either start your adventure for the first time or go back to the beginning if you’re a forever fan of Red, Blue and Pikachu.
