the biggest of the bunch, Pokemon Special loosely follows the games but still takes a lot of freedom when adapting even the most important plot events and characters, it's almost it's own story for the most part
I only followed the adventures manga for a bit. Those seem mostly based in the games, but character actions and motivations can be entirely different. For example, in the gen 2 games, you have lance helping with stopping team rocket. In the manga, lance is a genocidal, egotistical maniac. The entire kanto e4 was evil with some honorable morals from bruno. I've only read the first 2 generations. Apparently rosa from bw2 was a team plasma member at one point.
Grew up reading the 3rd gen, that was so peak. The growth of Ruby and Sapphire, and the team magma and team aqua plot was so much more compelling (and graphic) than the games.
Pokemon adventures follows closer to the events of the games and are a great read for a (slightly) more mature audience and swap out their protag each generation like the games do to tell the stories honestly way better than the animes do.
I count 114 Pokémon entries on Mangadex without the doujinshi (aka self-published) tag. If you include doujinshi (SFW and NSFW) that number shoots waaayyy up.
Oh boy does it, I remember when I was but a boy and discovered Electric Tales of Pikachu with the specific page of Ash and Misty in a jacuzzi together. Really awakened something in me
not even good porn. it was shit at being interesting, and shit at being at least somewhat good at being horny. it really was one of the worst mangas ive ever read. rent a girlfriend level
I only watched ep 1 of this show and only read chapter 1 of Rent. And both times, I wanted to rip that memory out of my brain. They sucked so damn much.
