− | The ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga started in 1997. Written by Hidenori Kusaka and featuring art by Mato (for the first nine volumes) followed by Satoshi Yamamoto, this manga more closely follows the game's events while taking on a darker tone. There are multiples arcs featuring trainers whose names are adapted directly from the different color versions, with the earliest trainers being Red, [[Blue]] and Green. There has been a ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue'' arc (with Green being a female trainer based on an used female starting trainer) followed by ''Yellow'' (which featured an original character named Yellow), ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'', ''Ruby''/''Sapphire'', ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' (which reprises the characters from the first three arcs), ''Emerald'' (which winds up concluding ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' and introducing a new trainer named Emerald), ''Diamond''/''Pearl'', ''Platinum'' | + | The ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga started in 1997.

The manga still takes some liberties with the plot, such as the ''Yellow'' arc introducing the Elite Four as villains. Later arcs have had characters who are closer to their game portrayals, however. |
There have also been a variety of other manga adaptations, many of which are short-term mangas that are only based on individual games. One of the more well-known mangas, due to its localization as ''The Electric Tale of Pikachu'', was a manga based on the anime that lasted for four volumes. There has also been a long-running gag manga exclusive to Japan. | There have also been a variety of other manga adaptations, many of which are short-term mangas that are only based on individual games.
