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 \u0026amp; Crystal story arc in one convenient set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis seven-volume box set collects the Gold, Silver \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollects seven full paperback volumes (Vols. 8-14) of Pokémon Adventures in one convenient box set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the complete Gold, Silver \u0026amp; Crystal story arc set in the Johto region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new, English-language paperbacks perfect for gifting or starting a collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by series creator Hidenori Kusaka with artwork by Mato and Satoshi Yamamoto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for ages 9-12 (Grades 4-7) and any fan of the Pokémon video games or anime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for birthdays, holidays, classroom libraries, or summer reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 8 — Kicks off the Gold \u0026amp; Silver story arc as young trainer Gold sets out on his Johto journey, with artwork by Mato.\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 9 — Gold's rivalry with the mysterious Silver deepens as the hunt for a Team Rocket remnant continues, in Mato's final volume as series artist.\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 10 — Satoshi Yamamoto takes over as series illustrator starting with this volume, carrying Gold and Silver's adventure forward.\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 11 — Gold and Silver's paths keep crossing as the Johto storyline builds toward its climax.\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 12 — Crystal steps into the spotlight as the arc's third lead trainer joins the unfolding Johto saga.\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 13 — Crystal takes on her own mission, adding a fresh perspective to the Gold, Silver \u0026amp; Crystal storyline.\u003cbr\u003ePokémon Adventures, Vol. 14 — Brings the Gold, Silver \u0026amp; Crystal arc toward its conclusion as the three young trainers' stories converge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHidenori Kusaka is a Japanese writer best known for scripting Pokémon Adventures since its 1997 debut, shaping the manga's story across dozens of volumes and story arcs.
