Pokémon Adventures Gold & Silver Box Set Volumes 8-14 | Complete Manga Collection | Perfect for Fans & Collectors | Great Gift for Anime Lovers

Over loved it. I read it in a month now I am on to the next setPokemon 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.it was a great book set with a good continuation of the story from the first setWhen 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.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.Those who have already begun following Red along on his adventures through the world of Pokemon in the "Pokemon Adventures: Red, Blue, and Yellow" volumes, you will definitely want to continue reading through the next chapter, in the "Gold and Silver" story arc. For those of you who remember playing through Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal back in 2000, you're in for more nostalgia and fun as the protagonists Gold, Silver, and Crys join in our heroes' adventures! Further expanding on the events of the best-selling Game Boy Color games from GameFreak and Nintendo, this collected volumes boxed set will make you want to rummage through your old drawers to find your old Game Boy just so you can play your old Pokemon games again. This boxed set is at a great price and collects volumes 8-14 of the ever-growing, ever getting better, Pokemon Adeventures graphic novel series. I recommend grabbing it if you get the chance, be you a long-time Pokemon Veteran or just a Youngster or a Lass.PROSEncourages more ReadingComicFun ArtInformativeCONSPaper 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 FansCame in nicely packaged and got here right on schedule. No dings, still wrapped in the plastic, everything completely accounted for (all books and the small poster).Awesome.It's the second Manga set for the Pokemon Adventures manga, for both the Gold/Silver arc and the Crystal arc. If you wanted a slightly more plot-driven and mature take on Pokemon, this is what you want to read. The art is always so nice to look at, and the first few arcs are still a great read. I've read everything 5 times already haha. Highly recommended for Pokemon fans.SuperI have a very happy 9 year old. He absolutely loves these books. Anything that gets my son to read deserves 5 stars :)bought this set for my son for Christmas and he had read them all by boxing day ! says there great.The Manga came four day's eailer than expected so I was very pleased with that! The condition was great aside from a little bending on the box which it comes in. The poster was smaller than I thought but it's only a poster. I would totally recomend buying this and I'm so happy with speed in which it came!Awesome
