The Electric Tale of Pikachu Saga (All 4 English Volumes)

This is an early spinoff manga inspired by the Pokemon anime (as opposed to the games). The first chapter was published in Japanese manga magazine CoroCoro, 6 months after the first episode of the anime aired. It follows the loose arc of the show (glossing over large segments) up until the end of the Orange Islands arc.

This is a must have for Pokemon fans, particularly those who enjoyed the anime. It doesn't just copy the plot of the show; the plot greatly diverges at several places and the manga is overall more teenager/young-adult oriented (though the age of the characters remains the same). It not only brings a TON of nostalgic 90's/Early 2000's pop culture references (that western audiences will get), but of all of the Pokemon media, I would say it captures the soul of Pokemon the best. The artwork is amazing and refreshingly different (more gritty in some ways), while the story often poignant, leaving you with memories of what Pokemon meant to YOU when you were a kid. The best way I can put it is that it is very evident that the the author, Toshihiro Ono, was a g reat fan of the franchise, because he just "gets" it. It doesn't come off as something written to best entertain children; it's something written by someone who loved the idea, and took pleasure in writing it.
