Whats your favorite part of the Pokemon Adventures manga? ive only read up to the yellow saga, so i dont know much. out of what ive read, I think the part where Red, Blue and Green infiltrated Team Rockets base in Saffron city was pretty freakin cool

(spoilers for 'yellow' arc)

if you'll allow me to get a little sidetracked with context, i spent a lot of the time collecting and reading the first 14(?) volumes when i was really into pokemon special/adventures, and trying to immerse myself after a long time into the ruby and sapphire arcs felt a little alien because the characterisation was so unfamiliar to what my expectations were, i guess, and i never finished it, and i regret it a little. but i have so much to talk about regarding the stuff that preceded it; i really really enjoyed seeing how every character fit into the puzzle and had a role, i love mato's illustration work so much, and it's compounded my enjoyment for pokemon as a franchise many times over!

the 'taking down team rocket' story was seriously awesome!!! in particular i loved the simultaneous rocket elite battles in the hq that had you wondering what was going to become of each of the three characters, it's so exciting to have the interwoven threads of each character's story occur in the same area >.<

i can get so easily excited about all of the arcs, especially the red/blue storyline, but i have an especially soft spot for yellow! yellow of the viridian forest. her character and the way she treats people and pokemon alike must have left an imprint on young me, because she's always been my favourite, i think.
perhaps i tend to enjoy the healer/support archetype more than the straightforward classes of the battler, trainer, etc... but there's really something special about the way she has such a way of battling that's endlessly exciting - her pokemon aren't powerful, nor are they highly leveled, but the dynamic between her and her pokemon is so so cool, she's able to triumph against the odds (especially in the lance battle, or the lorelei encounter!) by intimately knowing the ability of all of her seemingly basic pokemon to do so much, and there's something immensely satisfying about that to me, as if she can take on anything. it's a character that i kind of wish i could embody for sure! (not to mention the immense gender envy she gives me, but i digress..)
my favourite scene would have to be the pikachu and caterpie scene..... that may be the cutest thing i have ever read
