Probably my least favourite so far, but it was still fun, and I'm certainly intrigued! Bring on vol 5!

This is a review for Pokémon Adventures Volumes 4-7 (Yellow). Two years have passed since the end of Volume 3. Red goes missing after receiving a letter of challenge by another trainer and suddenly this unknown kid shows up in Pallet Town wanting to look for him. As I progressed through Volumes 4 and 5, while okay, it felt like something was missing. Yes we started getting an introduction of the Elite Four but following Yellow, it felt like the stakes just weren’t really there. Yellow isn’t that great of a trainer, if you can even call her that, as she doesn’t really want to catch any, doesn’t want the ones she has to evolve, and barely wants to use them in battle if it means either side might get hurt. But she has these mysterious powers that allow her to communicate and heal Pokémon.
However, starting with Volume 6 this arc starts picking up a bit. We finally delve into what happened to Red and certain characters come back for the final showdown with the Elite Four. During these final battles, even Yellow shows how much she’s picked up from all the skilled trainers she’s met through her journey. Overall, the Yellow arc is decent enough though not as good as Red’s arc; honestly unless some huge event harkens back to this story it can just be skipped. But I’m looking forward to continuing on to the Gold/Silver arc, especially since the ending of Volume 7 was setting up the journey to Johto!
Vol 4: 2/5, Vol 5: 2/5, Vol 6: 3/5, Vol 7: 3/5

A pretty solid introduction of the new main character. I like how they wrote off red. I also like how the elite four are evil.
