Overview
The Pokémon Adventures Gold & Silver Box Set gathers volumes 8 through 14 of the beloved manga series into one brand-new paperback collection, continuing the action-packed story that began in the Kanto region. Based on the classic Pokémon video games, this set follows young trainers Gold, Silver, and Crystal as they explore the Johto region, battle Team Rocket, and capture Pokémon along the way. Written by Hidenori Kusaka and illustrated by Mato and Satoshi Yamamoto, this collection is a must-have for fans who want to own the complete Gold, Silver & Crystal story arc in one convenient set.

About the Books
This seven-volume box set collects the Gold, Silver & Crystal story arc of Pokémon Adventures, the long-running manga series based on the Pokémon video games and published in the US by VIZ Media. Picking up where the Kanto-set volumes left off, the story moves to the Johto region and introduces two new young trainers, Gold and Silver, whose rivalry drives much of the early action. Gold is energetic and eager to prove himself, while Silver is guarded, with secrets tied to Team Rocket's remnants. As the volumes progress, a third trainer, Crystal, joins the story and brings her own goals to the unfolding adventure. Series writer Hidenori Kusaka keeps the pacing brisk and the Pokémon battles inventive, staying close to the spirit of the games while building an original narrative with real stakes and character growth. Fans will also notice a change behind the scenes partway through this set: longtime illustrator Mato, who drew the first nine volumes, hands off artwork duties to Satoshi Yamamoto starting with volume 10, and Yamamoto has continued as the series artist ever since. Each paperback volume in this collection is brand new and printed in English, making this set an easy way to jump into or continue the Pokémon Adventures manga without tracking down individual books one at a time. Whether you're introducing a young reader to the series or filling a gap in an existing collection, this box set delivers seven volumes of trainers, gym battles, and Pokémon capturing excitement in one package.
