This is great. It's one of my favorite pokemon comics! It has lots of action mixed in with adventure, and unlike the other series, which goes by the name of "Pokemon" (Very origial, isn't it?) It features a new and original adventure with new characters and isn't a tv show rip off. In this one Red (the hero) must save the world from the plans of team rocket with the help of his friends and pokepals. In the end he enters the pokemon league; will he face Blue in the finals, and does he even stand a chance? And more importantly, who is the mystery trainer green must battle against? (You'll find out.) There are two others befor this, Legendary Pokemon and Desparado Pikachu. After this comes comics which are adapted from the Yellow version of the game.

For a great pokemon experience and lots of fun, get this befor the "This item is not stocked or has been discontinued." notice appears!

This book is the bomb of the series.
First Team Rocket attacks Saffron! Red, Blue and Green must work with each other to rescue Prof. Oak and to defeat Team rocket. Red meets with with Lt. Surge, Blue meets with Koga, and Green ends up with Sabrina! These evil Gym Leaders are arme with the 3 legendary bird Pokemon!
Next it's a show down with Blaine, Red, and Mewtwo! Can Red catch Mewtwo?
Then it's Red's biggest Gym Battle yet. With Giovanni! Can Red beat the leader of Team Rocket or will he have to work at Giovannis side for the rest of his life?
Lastly Red finally makes it to the Pokemon Leage. And what's green's problem when she was 5? Theres also this mysterious trainer calle " Dr. O " It's reds final battle to see who's better in the finals. Is it Red....Or Blue?
Read to find out!

This thick comic book is a bargain. It's much cheaper than the seperate comics, and easier to carry around.
This is Part 3 of a Pokemon trainer named Red. His rival is Blue, his theif friend is Green. First, he must stop Team Rocket from taking over his home town Pallet Town, then it's off to capture Mewtwp, and then to the League to battle Blue for the championship.
This comic is a little similiar to the T.V series. Red being Ash, Blue bieng Gary. But Red doesn't have pathetic Pokemon like Ash does, there is no anoying Jessie and James interupting and then blasting off again, and Gary is is same self.
This comic is a must have for collectors.

This is the 1999-2001 version and this is not censored unlike the newer ones. So what advise is get the 2009 versions so you can have the entire sereies(because these stop at 7)then do what I did and get this. So volume 3 can have the right to left format in one with the Japenese covers aswell but then in a seperate one you'll have the version where Green's dress gets slashed open to reveal her JIGGLPUFF and CLEFABLE.

When my cousin told me about pokemon adventures, I laughed at him but after reading it myself I can tell you that pokemon adventures is very different from the cartoon. A little bit more teen-adult oriented. Kind of like harry potter or incredibles story, where the audience is for kids but people who are kids at heart can enjoy it too!

Volume 3: Saffron City Siege is the third volume of the Pok¨¦mon Adventures manga and the final volume in the Red, Green & Blue chapter. It is authored by ÈÕÏÂÐã`-- Hidenori Kusaka and illustrated by Õ涷 Mato.

Trivia
This was the last volume to be translated to German.
Errors
VIZ Media first edition
In Just a Spearow Carrier, when the Pok¨¦mon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and Green is identified as "BLUE". This error is a result of Green and Blue switching names for the English translation. This error was also present in the "Best of Pok¨¦mon Adventures" compilation volume.
VIZ Media second edition
On page 5, Blue's Charizard is wrongly called Charmeleon.
On page 23, Blue erroneously refers to Lavender Town as "Lavender City," and on page 27, Red says "Pikachu... read?!" instead of "ready".
The "next volume preview" page uses cover artwork for volume four that does not match the cover artwork used for the final version.
Translation edits
In the VIZ Media second edition printing, the scene in A Little Kadabra'll Do It where Green hides Pok¨¦ Balls in her top is edited out. The dialog is changed to make the edited scene make sense

This volume is my favorite, probably because it seems to be the most interesting one to read. Although the artwork is not extremely detailed, it still carries the story out quite well, and has lots of action. If you like Pokemon and manga, this book is for you. A fun read for younger audiences. (Hint: buying the graphic novel versions is actually cheaper than buying the individual comics!)

First,Red and Blue break the barrier.Second,Red fights Lt. Surge and Zapdos in a high voltage rematch(See part 1 numder 4 for details.)Third,Blue and Red fight Koga and the same Articuno that Red saved.Next, Green,Red,and,Blue fight Sabrina with Articuno,Zapdos,and Moltres.
