It's The Same Story As The Games

The manga follows the original story of Pokémon Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team. It will give you the same overall storyline that happens in the game but lacks a lot of world-building. You don't get a good look at the village or the store owners, and Pokémon don't fight alongside Ginji and Mudkip, like how you can recruit characters in the game. Overall, it's a very good retelling of the story, but I wished that there was maybe a montage of them getting better at fighting by being a rescue team. Instead, it just relies on them getting better by challenging the main bosses of the game.

Great Pokemon Adventure

My son loved this book saying that it was AWESOME. He loved the part when Genji and Mudkip and the other Pokemon fought Groudon and won!!!

Great for Pokemon fans

Both of my sons ages 8 and 10, love this book. They can't wait for more to come out like it.
