6:43 I wouldn’t say that it was reds goal to capture mew. Instead what he wanted to do was to understand true strength and expand his horizons. Red prior to his encounter with green and mew was a big fish in a small pond. He likely spent most of not all of his life in pallet uncontested by anything around him. He thought he was the big shot around with his limited understanding of the world. He thought that he didn’t need the advice from the nearby professor content with what he already knows. And he thought that Green wasn’t going to be completion since he felt like he was already strong enough. But after this encounter and green schooling him on his lack of worldly experience red got the needed motivation to expand his horizons and enter the larger world outside of his small town and see just what the word can offer him.
7:54 actually machoke being in Giovanni’s gym works on two different levels. On the generic level it makes sense that a fighter like machoke would be around a gym wear fighters gather. But on the deeper level it shows a hint of Giovanni’s scheme of team rocket smuggling Pokémon around kanto so their can be made more powerful and aggressive and be brought to viridian forest. this particular Pokémon wandering into the city itself and into Giovanni’s own gym.
22:56 your review is good but you are getting a penalty dislike for bringing up the arbok scene. Veteran pokespe fans hate whoever the arbok scene is brought up it’s a stale overused and incorrect statement UA-camrs and others speakers bring up whenever they talk about the “edginess” of pokespe.
It's always a shame when a creator of a franchise can't do exactly what they wanted because they don't control everything about the franchise, and even worse when they can do little change to the franchise.
When you're a big fan of Pokémon, you start to look for different official things linking to the Pokemon universe and the manga was HEEAAAT when I first read them as a kid finding them at my local bookstore. Especially since it followed Red instead of as Ash. Glad you're covering this hidden gem of Pokémon content Mastadonte!😁
I want it to be known that while the other seasons are still wild, no other saga is quite as wild as the red and blue saga. The writers were wilin mad hard in the first saga. EDIT: I take it back. Yellow was the craziest saga. Which is the one after this one.
Here recommendation from Tapas called "SSS class Revival Hunter". One the best novel I read. Manhwa Adaption is also pretty good . I personally like it. The characters are well fleshed out, never too naive nor innocent, and not too edgy either. The writing style is engaging enough, and the plot is well paced. Personally, I'm hooked because of how well the atmosphere was delivered. The way the story is written invokes emotional response and empathy and honestly, that's what got me sold on this. It's impressive that they can keep me engaged for this long considering the length but I guess it stems from the fact that they use arcs instead of just a regular plot. Arcs are generally the reason for a series to stay engaging for longer, as it feels as if we're experiencing a new story, but with familiar characters so it's refreshing for the readers without sacrificing familiarity. It's the reason One piece and Naruto stay so popular and so strong for so long. And this technique is done reasonably good in my opinion.
Yeah this manga was insane! My jaw hit the floor after reading it and I said why couldn't the games get to this level, especially after Black and White? I know it is because the manga and games are two totally different beasts but come on! Still it was nice to hear about this again Donte!
super ancient pokemon (I think emerald but could be ruby and sapphire its been years) arc manga spoilers I still remember the scene when Zinnia got rejected by rayquaza in the manga and rayquaza just straight up impails her on his tail then procedes to point blank hyper beams her and let her body fall to the ocean. Genuinely scared me when I was younger. Its been a long time so I kind of forgot a lot of details but I can easily remember those panels and redraw them at any time
I remember going to the library(renting some movies), I stumbled upon the Pokemon manga and I immediately rented the 1st volume, immediately got hooked. After that, I rented the WHOLE 1st series and my goodness was it just so fun going through. This is my favorite Pokemon series for a reason. Red as a character is 🔥
Yo the moment I saw this on my recommend I had to watch glad this manga is getting more exposure I love it and is one of the major thing that kept me interested in Pokemon
yes!!! so glad youre reading this. one of the most under-rated mangas ever. its really the peak of pokemon, absolutely criminal it never got an anime. you definitely need to read up to gen 4 at least, everything up to platinum is a must read. personally, i really liked the gen 5 arc too but ill admit it kind of dropped in quality a little after that
Okay I know the intro part was just to make a point but Ash has gotten a lot better since the early days and got decent character development. Both as a trainer and in personality. Though yes the Pokemon Special/Adventures Manga is very underated.
@@TheBlackMastadonte He does at least mentor may in hoenn a bit. He's honestly a better teacher to dawn in Sinnoh though. I adore both series for the contests. It was interesting watching contests look steadily more beautiful as time goes on. Ash even enters a couple times.
I first found it online(I binged red,blue, and yellow) then got the best of pokemon red manga volume at a book fair. Now I have everything up to the end of emerald manga wise. Unfortunately the diamond and pearl/platinum box set is expensive and black and white is impossible. Maybe the omnibus volumes will fix my problem.
Not sure if it happened In the first volume or some time after that, but theres a little newspaper clip that heavily insinuates that a girl got tentacle banged by her tentecool while she was taking a bath. This manga doesnt mess around
Well the original 1995 manga is even weirder (disgusting at many points) idk about the story so much as I recently found out about it. The anime and the games are a lot more mainstream, like a lot more so yeah they "had" to tone things down a bit in for the american and european media so they wouldn't be any problems with depicting violence like that for a show that was supposed to be for everyone but mostly for kids. And let's be honest here in Europe where I leave it's mostly for kids..
Bro if you wanna see how truly crazy reds silence can be you should play the romhack pokemon red rocket edition. You play as team rocket through reds journey and the story is insanely good.
I knew you used to have a serious where you covered different monger. Especially berserk. But it would be awesome to see a more raw version of Pokémon be in covered by somebody who clearly isn’t to it.
Mastadonte : "What happened to Fainting?!" Faint? Naah its Murking! Nah its Demolishing Naah its Packing up! Nah its wrapping up! aint no Faint over here my boi! 🤣🤣
One word I can say with this manga is Nightmares. Stuff happens that is scary and you can try to unsee it but you can't. It all seriously just happened. And yeah no I don't think I want the Gym Leaders and Elite four (yes you heard me) as admins for Team Rocket.
Well Giovanni does not own a Machoke because he was originally a Ground type Gym leader. Not a fighting type. The only exception in other media is like Mewtwo for obvious reasons.
and its still putting out new chapters for every new gen and remake too. the 2 guys that make it actually got stuck on the black and white 2 arc for a long time so they ended up having to write multiple parts at the same time lol. i havent really kept up w the manga since the xy and oras arcs finished but i have a friend that keeps me sort of in the loop and the sword and shield arc has been going on for awhile now
Yeah the anime didn’t let him keep moving forward lol. I can’t wait to see this manga. WAIT THEY GAVE POKÉMON STEROIDS 😬. Pokémon zombies O.0 BRUH. Blue KILLED HIM O.0
I got this shit on physical manga up until the last Yellow chapter and one loose B&W and let me tell you this man is not lying, THIS SHIT GO HARD! GO READ IT!
Man when I first read this shit I almost lost my mind when I saw all these different parts too pokémon were literally getting killed in this and the trainers too the anime definitely should have took this route
Going to be a spoiler later in the Pokemon Manga, but what I love is that Red would get an Eevee that can evolve and devolve at will which was actually something I thought of before even seeing it officially happen in the Manga. The only difference is that his Eevee can only evolve and devolve with the first three original evolution and then permanently evolved into Espeon but still surprising that it was in the Manga.
The gym leaders sabrina, Koga, and the old ghost lady from the elite 4 are the 3 triad they are extremely evil in the comic, they're just like Vega Balrog and sagat. I'm not reading who bison is tho you have to read too find out
Manga spoiler mewtwo vs deoxys is easily a top 10 fight in fiction. No one can tell me that that fight isn't one of the most hype moments in all of fiction
agreed, i think about that fight all the time dude. also have you seen the fan openings? i have to go back and watch this video all the time ua-cam.com/video/zp0iboDW-Ns/v-deo.html
Bruh chameleon cut a arbok into pieces on like the 1st volume, they attack humans , and there's no such thing as a one on one the manga is built very different. Mfkas bleed and die in there lolll
Yea but it's kinda dumb that you don't give red any dialog aside from ......... especially when you think that it's pokemon you have to give your pokemon commands to do anything which I never understood why they mad it so that he never talks in the games

The Pokemon creator himself said that this manga was the closest thing to what he wanted the franchise to be. Its amazing

That moment when you remember that Pokémon came out when you were still a child and now there are 8 generations of it… we are old dude, we are old
Indeed we are
And Ash is still ten

Yeah Im still on the binge. I've been hearing so many good things about the later chapters in this manga
I think it did its called pokemon red
7 is where it starts slightly dropping off but it's still quite good. 6 is one of if not my favorite of the bunch
I love your gaming related content. The videos are always well thought out and entertaining to watch.
Okay I know the intro part was just to make a point but Ash has gotten a lot better since the early days and got decent character development. Both as a trainer and in personality. Though yes the Pokemon Special/Adventures Manga is very underated.
AGREED. That's why I was trying to stress that it was specifically early Ash that was annoying me. Current Ash is great

yo finally someone putting some respect on Adventures's name, i hope we get a second video on this
Respect for this manga is way overdue
This manga is nostalgic as hell i remember rushing to the library reading every single chapter.
Yeah bro

I started off watching this channel because of the xenoverse 2 videos, I am impressed continuously by your content man. Keep up the amazing work!!
I collected the manga when I was younger. Thanks for giving it some shine brother
I'm going to start collecting it myself
6:46 it’s okay Dr.Oak, my older brother does that all the time
I would love to see more reviews of Pokémon manga
Oh trust that red had a smile on his face when he ripped blue's dreams away
Good screw blue
Lmao yes
Bro I never new Pokémon manga could be such fire, please make this a series
Bro the Pokemon Manga is SOOO GOOD!!
15:50 hey kid I got the real rare candies
Lmao facts
Bro if you wanna see how truly crazy reds silence can be you should play the romhack pokemon red rocket edition. You play as team rocket through reds journey and the story is insanely good.
Interesting. That sounds like a fun game to try
I knew you used to have a serious where you covered different monger. Especially berserk. But it would be awesome to see a more raw version of Pokémon be in covered by somebody who clearly isn’t to it.
I'm glad you're reading this manga it's super lit Yellow is my favorite character
I know the anime can get irritating, but man those theme songs though, they're fire.
I am so glad you are talking about this because this manga was on X Games mode
I had to bro
I remember read Pokémon Adventures during middle school to high school and for some reason this manga is a bit better than the anime.
Mastadonte : "What happened to Fainting?!"
Faint? Naah its Murking! Nah its Demolishing Naah its Packing up! Nah its wrapping up! aint no Faint over here my boi! 🤣🤣
Y'all forgetting that one time in the manga where the unova gym leaders go freaking crucified
Bruh WHAT?!!!
This Was An Amazing Video On The Pokémon Donte I Wish The Pokémon Manga Had Anime Adaptation That Would Absolute Fire.
One word I can say with this manga is Nightmares. Stuff happens that is scary and you can try to unsee it but you can't. It all seriously just happened. And yeah no I don't think I want the Gym Leaders and Elite four (yes you heard me) as admins for Team Rocket.
Interesting. You obviously read more than me. I'm hype for what happens next
Yeah I did. I wish I didn't but oh well can't go back in time.
Interesting and amazing keep the good work keep
Thanks fam. Appreciate the support
@@TheBlackMastadonte no problem
Well Giovanni does not own a Machoke because he was originally a Ground type Gym leader. Not a fighting type. The only exception in other media is like Mewtwo for obvious reasons.
10:42 Red’s Pikachu is twice as much of a menace to it’s own trainer than Ash’s Pikachu in the first episode of the anime
Holy cow this manga has more than 500 chapters also thx got something new to read
Lol yup. There is a lot of story here
and its still putting out new chapters for every new gen and remake too. the 2 guys that make it actually got stuck on the black and white 2 arc for a long time so they ended up having to write multiple parts at the same time lol. i havent really kept up w the manga since the xy and oras arcs finished but i have a friend that keeps me sort of in the loop and the sword and shield arc has been going on for awhile now
Alright that's it screw the anime I'm reading the manga. This is way more hardcore than the anime and the games will ever be.
Yeah it is SO raw. I will say that the anime is currently pretty good too now. Ash is actually growing
So uh, Donte....we gon talk about the fuckery that is ZapMolCuno or nah?
I didn't get cover that in this review, but I've seen the monstrosity
@@TheBlackMastadonte it's just not right
I love this manga. I've seen so much crap from this manga and it's incredible!
Yeah so proud of its writing
Yeah the anime didn’t let him keep moving forward lol. I can’t wait to see this manga. WAIT THEY GAVE POKÉMON STEROIDS 😬. Pokémon zombies O.0 BRUH. Blue KILLED HIM O.0
Apparently it's concentrated rare candy serum, but it still looks like steroids
YOOOOOO I still have some of these books in my closet!
Fam this shyt is wild. Especially getting into the volumes with Yellow.
They actually made a small either anime or movie about this series that in my oppinion is better than the main series.
Yeah Pokemon Origins. I wish it was longer
bruh as soon as i finished this decided to get on the manga.
Thank you, you wasn't lying RED is legit.
Glad you're enjoying it fam
You’re making me want to cop this 😂
It's soo good bro!!
pokemon adventures is a real trip, and he didn't even get to Red's eevee yet
Yeah I've only touched the smallest part of the tip of the iceberg
I remember always going to the public library and reading the Pokémon manga… absolute classic and i one of my fav mangas of all time
I got this shit on physical manga up until the last Yellow chapter and one loose B&W and let me tell you this man is not lying, THIS SHIT GO HARD! GO READ IT!
Thank you bro. Now I need to get on my grind and get back to reading this lol
Bro I remember reading these in elementary school!
Same
I remember one of my friends was collecting the Diamond and Pearl manga like the Infinity Stones
Man where did you get to read your copies I cant find anywhere to buy or read this masterpiece
Dude when you get to the gold and silver arc you gonna want to have a pool cue 8 ball and some dice you’ll understand when a few chapters in
You're mad entertaining
Thanks fam
Damn this is the dark side of Pokémon people dying and Pokémon dying if this was the anime was probably going to be 16+
YES! This Pokemon is not the Pokemon we're used to
The anime would be amazing if each region had its own MC not the same guy
Indeed
I remember reading the manga briefly they had shonen jump magazine at the dr office when i was a kid
How did you like it
Man when I first read this shit I almost lost my mind when I saw all these different parts too pokémon were literally getting killed in this and the trainers too the anime definitely should have took this route
Yeah I wish the anime went this far
I read the Pokemon Reburst Manga I doubt it gets crazier than that but hey you could prove me wrong.
This Manga is sounding hard as fuck
It IS fam
Going to be a spoiler later in the Pokemon Manga, but what I love is that Red would get an Eevee that can evolve and devolve at will which was actually something I thought of before even seeing it officially happen in the Manga.

When you said CHAPTER 7!?!!? What the hell 🫥 I might check this out when I can
I read some of the manga and it was mad good best character I seen was red
AGreed
Can they just make a separate anime for this already
That's what I want. They had Pokemon Origins, but it wasn't enough
Wait until he learns about the Black Fog and the Mewtwo with the spoon *made of psychic waves*
The gym leaders sabrina, Koga, and the old ghost lady from the elite 4 are the 3 triad they are extremely evil in the comic, they're just like Vega Balrog and sagat. I'm not reading who bison is tho you have to read too find out
Hype to find out
15:43 it’s concentrated rare candy serum.
Aaah thank you
If you like silent characters getting character you should check out the Zelda manga
Sounds like i gotta check that out
Ash from Pokémon x y and z is my favourite ash because how goated he was
Yeah he was fire
Wait until he hears about the Pokémon team rocket edition game
Nani?
Would you be willing to do a video on each arc/region
The Pokémon manga is the reason poliwhirl is my favorite Pokémon
I loved this story
Same here fam
bro you gotta read it
Hey man, have you read Ayashimon?
Naw haven't heard of it
@@TheBlackMastadonte you should man ifs really crazy.
This is cool
Welp... I know what I'm doing in the summer
Edit: Thanks again Donte
I thought they had a whole lil house in the poke ball when I was a kid.. so I feel u bruh ☠️😁
MORE! MOOOOORRREEEE!! CONTENT!!
More content is coming
Love the first pokemon
When i read the manga and saw that pokemon were getting bodied, i was hooked!!!
Manga spoiler
mewtwo vs deoxys is easily a top 10 fight in fiction. No one can tell me that that fight isn't one of the most hype moments in all of fiction
agreed, i think about that fight all the time dude. also have you seen the fan openings? i have to go back and watch this video all the time
ua-cam.com/video/zp0iboDW-Ns/v-deo.html
this fan opening is crazy good too
ua-cam.com/video/B_nbzPLt-wE/v-deo.html
We can all agree that the best anime of Pokemon is xyz
I think Journeys is the best one now
If I remember correctly koga become elite 4 ?
Yeah I believe so
Gotta peep how manga red plays in hard mode
So I never read pokemon thinking it was the same than the anime and turn out it was super dope
I neeeed more reading if is one thing but hearing people rave about it is peak I kinda hope you make a lot more covering this series
Bruh chameleon cut a arbok into pieces on like the 1st volume, they attack humans , and there's no such thing as a one on one the manga is built very different. Mfkas bleed and die in there lolll
could you do a video on YuYuHakusho
I would like to yes
12 years later
part 2 man
Perhaps. We'll see how this video does
Yea but it's kinda dumb that you don't give red any dialog aside from ......... especially when you think that it's pokemon you have to give your pokemon commands to do anything which I never understood why they mad it so that he never talks in the games
Bro you think red blue is dark ? When you'll read xy you'll collapse
Oh damn I am SO hype
Make pt 2 please with other Pokémon manga
Was thinking of continuing with it on the channel, but we'll see
Noted
Who else plays pokemon go still and watched this just to catalog what pokemon they have?
Kalos ash is dope tho
Agreed. All my hate is coming from early Ash. Current Ash is WAYYY different
I played pokemon red chapter which has same storyline as this manga
Yeah I heard about it. Definitely on my list of things to play
