Pokémon Zensho/YMMV
- Badass Decay: While personalities are more or less left the same, the art style throws away Giovanni's evilness even when he threatens to kill someone.
- Continuity Porn: This manga thrives on little references to manga and as a true adaptation of the games.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Satoshi and Shigeru go to find Mewtwo at the end of the manga, however we're only told of it and we never seem them battle it. It would have made a nice tag battle.
