Offers a series of tales in graphic format of the adventures of Ash and Pikachu and their experiences in their first great Pokaemon tournament. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This graphic novel series is absolutley the BEST! Perfect for Pokemon fans young and old! The artwork is amazing and it captures how the anime should have been done! Toshihiro Ono is one of a kind! I know it is pricy but TRUST ME, IT IS SO WORTH IT! It was published back in the 90's, VERY hard to find, and I don't believe they will ever attempt to re-release it! So for all those fans who never got around to this manga, if you want it, nows your chance! Pokemon [and Team Rocket XD] forever~
Best Pokemon merchandise out here!!!

Although this US version is quite censored, I can recommend it to any Pokemon fan, but it is absolute must have for any Rocketshipper! It is quite Ash-bashing despite the title. And there are also the most beautiful pictures of Jessie and James! The art style is marvelous and Mr.Ono's humour is great, too!!!I like The Electric Pikachu Boogaloo the best from all 4 manga books by Toshihiro Ono. This series is one of my most favourite mangas (beside Cardcaptor Sakura and Gunsmith Cats).Read it and you will see why! If you are manga fan and want quality, try this Pokemon manga series. It it not childish, I'm 20 and I enjoyed it very much!

This Pokemon tradepaperback is the best Pokemon item ever made! The stories are more interesting to read especially better than the television series. Once I got the book in my hands I was amazed at Toshihiro Ono's artwork. This guy can draw! I like good american art and more so manga art. Mr. Ono's work is outstanding story and art both. If you are a lover of good art and enjoy Pokemon this is the book to get ( along with all the othe TPs from his other 3 Pokemon books). Hope this review is helpful.
Mature Pokemon??

Well, we've all seen those cute and cuddly little freaks hogging the pages of TIME, and completely obliterating the trading-card market. But even a veteran Pokemon fanatic gets tired of Pokemon's general appearance [cute and child-friendly]. Well, that's where this book comes in. The Pokemon and characters are drawn in a much more manga way, and seem either more silly, serious, or enraged! Whoever this guy is, he needs to start working for Microsoft, because their website needs more than a little work! [visually, that is]I briefly browsed through this thing in my local Waldenbooks, but I was blown away by the strangely realistic look of Venusaur and Blastoise [in mountain-form, nonetheless!]. Hell, I expected vulgar language and nudity on every other page, that's how Manga it looks!
This book is the best anime graphic novel that I have read!

Not only do you get six stories as opp. to the last one that only had four but you also get 4 extra full color pages in the front. This book follows some of the events of the cartoon. But not all of them. I recommend this book to all ages. If you like anime then you will like this book.
