Pokémon Get da ze! (Japanese:ポケモンゲットだぜ! Get Pokémon!) is a shōnen manga series which was released in 1999. It is a a comedy-styled adventure about a Pokémon trainer named Shū (who appears very similar to Ash) and his Pikachu. It is written by Miho Asada, who would later go on to write the Phantom Thief! Pokémon 7 manga series.

In France, the first and second volumes were translated by Glénat under the title Pokémon, attrapez-les tous! and in Italy they were published by Play Press Publishing under the title Pokémon.

Shū has the ability to talk to his Pokémon using a headset device called an In-Com.

The manga is a series of short, usually unrelated stories focusing on Shū's attempt to catch as many Pokémon as possible. Arguably, it is the only story in the franchise that emphasizes capturing Pokémon as much as the American "Gotta Catch 'em All" catchphrase did.

There are five known volumes of the manga, with the first two being about adventures in Kanto, and the last three focusing on Johto.
