"Pokémon Adventures, Vol. 4" by Hidenori Kusaka is an exciting and action-packed addition to the popular Pokémon manga series. As a fan of the franchise, I found this volume to be a thrilling continuation of the Pokémon Adventures storyline.
The fourth volume follows the adventures of Red, the determined and skilled Pokémon trainer, as he continues his quest to become the Pokémon Champion. This time, he faces new challenges and encounters a variety of interesting characters along the way. The narrative is engaging and well-paced, keeping readers hooked from start to finish.
One of the highlights of this volume is the intense Pokémon battles. Kusaka does a fantastic job of showcasing the strategic aspects of Pokémon training, making the battles feel dynamic and exhilarating. The artwork by Satoshi Yamamoto complements the action perfectly, capturing the essence of each Pokémon's unique abilities and adding depth to the battles.
The character development in "Pokémon Adventures, Vol. 4" is another strong point. Red's growth as a trainer and his interactions with his Pokémon showcase his determination, resilience, and compassion. Additionally, the supporting characters, such as his rival Blue, offer intriguing dynamics and contribute to the overall depth of the story.
One aspect that stands out in this volume is the inclusion of multiple story arcs. The plot seamlessly transitions between different locations and scenarios, adding variety and preventing the narrative from becoming repetitive or predictable. This approach keeps the reader engaged and eager to see what happens next.
Furthermore, the manga captures the essence of the Pokémon world by incorporating elements from the Pokémon video games. Fans of the games will appreciate the faithful representations of iconic Pokémon and the inclusion of familiar locations. The series also provides interesting lore and expands upon the world-building established in the games.
Although "Pokémon Adventures, Vol. 4" is a highly enjoyable read, it may not be as accessible to those unfamiliar with the Pokémon franchise. The story assumes some prior knowledge of the Pokémon universe, and readers who are not familiar with the games or previous volumes may feel a bit lost.
In conclusion, "Pokémon Adventures, Vol. 4" by Hidenori Kusaka is an excellent addition to the Pokémon manga series. With its engaging narrative, intense Pokémon battles, and well-developed characters, this volume will surely captivate fans of the franchise. It is a must-read for Pokémon enthusiasts and manga lovers alike, providing an exciting and immersive experience within the Pokémon world.

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
