A good addition to any collection or for any fan whether they are just starting out or an old-time fan. You don't need to know anything about Pokemon to be able to understand this manga. There is also a more in-depth story line than the one presented in the anime that not only makes connections to the real world, like talking about school and how there is a test to get one's license to become a Pokemon Trainer, but also a more in-depth look at the Pokemon world as a whole and more detailed information on how everything works. It is a twist on the animethat delves a little deeper into both the reality, making it easier to connect to our world, and the technology of that world itself.
