Viz released the first seven volumes of the series in tankōbon format from J to January 2003 as well as in magazine format. The distributing company Viz Media has licensed the series for English in the United States. This page includes information on volumes 41–60, published between 2012 and the present day. The Japanese publisher Shogakukan has been releasing the individual chapters in tankōbon format with the first one being released on August 8, 1997. The series is written by Hidenori Kusaka, it is illustrated by Mato during the first nine volumes, while Satoshi Yamamoto starts illustrating it since the tenth volume. Since the manga is based on the video games, there are some delays with the serialization since the authors need to have seen the games in order to continue with the plot. The story arcs of the series are based on most of the Pokémon video games released by Nintendo and, as such, the main characters of the series have the name of their video game. Pokémon Adventures, known in Japan as Pocket Monsters Special ( ポケットモンスター SPECIAL, Poketto Monsutā SPECIAL), is a Japanese manga series published by Shogakukan.
