Pokémon manga (Japanese: マンガ) does not actually refer to one specific manga or one particular piece of Pokémon canon but, rather, an entire subcategory of comics written with their own storylines and interpretations of the Pokémon world. These frequently have no connection to one another beyond their medium.
Many Pokémon manga are never translated into English.
