This is as much as I've read of the series so far, but from what I understand, the B2W2 arc directly ties to the BW arc, the ORAS arc ties directly to the Gen 1-3 arcs, and everything else basically stands on their own, save for some minor cameos. You can read it before Platinum if you want, but you need to read the other Kanto/Jhoto stuff first. Volume 10 is scheduled for December 2010, and volumes 11, 12 and volume 30 of the DP arc (known as volume 1 of Platinum in Viz's release) are all scheduled for 2011 as well. The HGSS arc connects loosely to the Platinum arc, but it's pretty strongly connected to the RBG, Yellow, and GSC arcs. On June 1, 2009, Viz restarted publishing the tankbon volumes, and are now up to volume 9 as of October 2010. The Platinum arc also stands on its own, save for being a direct followup to the DP arc. (TLDR: Read Gen 1-3 arcs in the order they and the games they're based on are released.)įrom there, the DP arc mostly stand on its own, save for spoiling that a certain villain from a previous arc is a bit different than you might have thought. Im now a sophomore in college, and I remembered the series after watching a review video of the first 3. Johto is by far my favorite region, not because of the Pokemon necessarily, but because of the gym leaders and the connection between the two. Read 37 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. Context: I got into the Pokémon Adventures manga in elementary school and kept up with what I understood to be the series continuation until sometime in middle school. Pokémon Adventures (Gold and Silver), Vol. The RS arc pretty much stands on its own, but the FRLG arc is directly tied to the RBG, Yellow, and GSC arcs, and the Emerald arc is intrinsically tied to every arc that I've mentioned so far. Im confused about the order to read the Pokémon Adventures manga. The Yellow arc is a direct sequel to the RBG arc, and the later parts of the GSC arc are directly tied to the RBG and Yellow arcs.

If you want to read them out of order due to inconvenience finding certain arcs, here's the order you HAVE to read certain arcs.
