Pokémon Adventures Gold & Silver Box Set (Set Includes Vols. 8-14) (Pokémon Manga Box Sets)

Pokemon Gold and Silver were my favorite games when they came out in the US in 2000, and they've always had a special place in my heart. And also, I previously read the Pokémon Red and Blue manga, and loved it! So I had to get this manga box set, which is based on the Gold and Silver games and picks up where the first 7 volumes left off. The Pokemon manga is great, and I very much enjoyed reading these volumes. The Gold and Silver box set follows the adventure of Gold, an unlikely new Pokemon trainer, and his mysterious rival, Silver. Characters from the Pokemon Red and Blue manga (volumes 1-7) return as well, so there's something for everyone. There's an exciting story, lots of twists, and many characters fans will recognize, all of which make for a great read. I love this series, and I think its perfect for longtime Pokemon veterans and new fans alike.

Got this for a gift and it was very well received. Beloved Pokemon stories in a box set.

I bought these for a 12 year old boy who is Dyslexic. He had been in Special ED at school for 5 years but he continued to have trouble reading so he did not enjoy reading. Once I started buying the Pokemon books he started reading more. These are simple to read and easy for him to read. After he reads a book I have him write a 2 or 3 sentence book report for each book. He must complete the book reports for every book in the collection before I order him the next collection. It took him a couple of months to complete the reading and book reports for the first 2 collections I bought. Now he has the books read and the book reports written within a couple of week. He told me the other day he is enjoying reading. Thank you Hidenori Kusaka for writing these books.

My pokemon obsessed daughter loved this series!

Super entertaining story, and great price.

PROS Encourages more Reading Comic Fun Art Informative CONS Paper Back tears & bends (can damage easily) This is the 2nd set I purchased 1st was Volume 1-7 now 8-14. This short Story's are very addicting. My boy can't wait to come home and read. The books are about 200 pages long some are more. It's published as if made in Japan. You read the book starting from back to front meaning Right to Left. Not like Amercan standard books left to right. The book is full of Art and small comics as well. Overall Perfect for Pokemon Fans

When you read Pokémon Adventures Red & Blue, you rush through pages because there's just so much emotion and action and you can't wait for the next volume and you least expect it, it's over! In Gold & Silver, the story has a slower pace, but this isn't bad at all! Now the characters can be a lot better developed and here I must say that it's impressive how Hidenori Kusaka writes his characters well! You could notice this already in the first 7 volumes, but here it's incredible how he makes characters not so important in the games, such as Gold's mom, Joey, and many others likeable so easily. The drawings of Mato continue as beautiful as ever and Satoshi Yamamoto makes a good job replacing her. So if you style yourself a Pokémon fan, if you enjoy playing the franchise games or if you simply want to have fun with a nice story of ambitious children who do anything to accomplish their objetives, then you should probably get your hands on this box as well, especially after having read the Red & Blue edition.

Lower price than anywhere else by about $10/$12 and arrived in perfect condition.. my son loves them!!
