Pocket Monsters (Japanese: ポケットモンスター) is a shōnen Pokémon manga based on the Pokémon games by Kousaku Anakubo. It is also the first true Pokémon manga. It stars a Pokémon trainer named Isamu Akai (nicknamed "Red") and his rude Clefairy. It is chiefly a gag manga, using crude humor and slapstick. It has two sequels: Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire, which takes place in Hoenn, and Pocket Monsters DP, which takes place in Sinnoh.
Pocket Monsters was serialized in CoroCoro magazine. Including its sequels, it is the second longest running manga in CoroCoro. It is also the longest-running Pokémon manga ever based on starting date.
It is translated by Chuang Yi in Singapore under the title Pokémon Pocket Monsters, but it is unpopular among western fans as the art style is so different; many of the Pokémon and characters are unrecognizable. Chuang Yi announced a planned North American release in the late 1990s, however, this never happened. It has never been translated by VIZ Media.
The series diverges somewhat from the Pokémon video game and anime canon: most Pokémon can speak human language, Pokémon are able to evolve (and un-evolve) at will, and regular animals (like birds and fish) appear alongside Pokémon.
Isamu, his Clefairy, and his Pikachu make a cameo appearance in the anime episode Lights, Camerupt, Action.
Controversy
In the manga, Isamu Akai and his Clefairy appear nude in the end of the second chapter. Their genetalia is visible. This is a possible reason why the manga wasn't released in English speaking countries.
