awesome

I find the pokemon tv series childish and wasn't sure If I'd like the manga but I saw the artwork was good so I said, Why not?It turns out this book is not really like the tv series. Ash's mom and prof. oak look totally different and ash finds pikachu in this manga. He also catches different pokemon and there lots of fun humor too. This book has great art! the pokemon look so life like! I really recomend this book!

A Great manga, with a different appearence...

This manga is pretty good, but all the characters looking diferent...Brock, Ash,Jessie, James, and Misty look pretty much the same, but minor character such as Ash's mom, Bill, and Professor Oak get a serious makeover...I couldn't stop laughing after I saw Professor Oak, he looks nothing like the anime guy, seeing these makeovers alone justify giving this manga a chance....^_~

Pokemon Manga is Great!

Don't think that this GN is like the TV show that thousands of kids are sucked into. The manga is sooooo much better and realistic than the TV show (or the video game, or the TV show-based comics). The drawings are absolutly great (check out the Gyrados and Haunter) and slightly more mature than any other Pokemon merchandise I've seen. This comes from a 15-year old who can't stand anything else Pokemon!

Great Graphics

The drawings in this manga are in my opinion much better than the TV series or in any other manga I have read. The characters seem a bit more realistic and many sections are very funny.

Pokemon: "The Electric Tale of Pikachu" is beyond the show!

Something is eating the wires in the Ketchums' house. Soon Ash Ketchum finds Pikachu inside his wall. After seeing his rival, Gary Oak, he decides to become the world's greatest Pokemon Master!This is a great comic that is (in my opinion) a lot better than the TV show.It is very funny! the reasons to buy this book:1. It's funny! 2. It is different from the show! 3. The artwork is awesome! 4. You won't regret buying it because you'll want to read and enjoy it again and again! 5. IT'S POKEMON!
